A Dog’s Promise continues the story of Bailey, the good dog whose journey started in A Dog’s Purpose and continued in A Dog’s Journey (both major motion pictures). This time, Bailey is joined by Lacey, another very special dog, who helps Bailey fulfill his promise over the course of several lives. This charming, wise canine soul brings joy, laughter, and comfort as he unites a family fractured by life’s inevitable obstacles. The love of these two memorable dogs shows us the incredible power of hope, truth, and unending devotion in this moving novel by award-winning author W. Bruce Cameron.
Happy Tuesday, readers! I’m still trying to cram scary books into my brain before Halloween. I’m not entirely sure why I am pretending I don’t read them all year long, lol. I read a few more great ones for the Dewey’s readathon this past weekend, which I will be sure to share when they come out. You can hear about other awesome reads on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Jenn and I discussed Nothing to See Here, The Cheffe, Sisters of the Vast Black, and more great books!
And now, it’s time for everyone’s favorite gameshow: AHHHHHH MY TBR! Here are today’s contestants:
The In-Betweens: The Spiritualists, Mediums, and Legends of Camp Etna by Mira Ptacin
There have been a lot of books recently where weird things happen in the Maine woods – and with good reason. Weird things DO go on in the Maine woods. In Ptacin’s latest book she investigates Camp Etna, a community in the Maine woods started in 1848 by two sisters who claimed they could speak to the dead. Ptacin explores not only the camp, but she examines both our historic and present-day searches – our need – for signs that something else is out there. Fascinating stuff!
Backlist bump: Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey
Heroine by Gail Scott
Coach House is releasing a reissue of this feminist classic with a new introduction by Eileen Myles. It’s about a woman in a bathtub in a rooming house is Quebec trying to make major transitions in her life as the decade rolls over from the 1970s to the 1980s. She wants to get out of an affair with a left leader, and start taking more control over her own life. It’s an edgy bit of experimental feminist writing.
Backlist bump: Problems by Jade Sharma
The Beautiful Ones by Prince
Okay, I haven’t read this but it’s PRINCE. I cannot wait to get my hands on it. He was in the process of writing it when he died. So at least we know that he intended for us to have it, unlike a lot of works that are published posthumously. It includes never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets. And it’s PRINCE. I miss him so much.
