Shukshin, Vasiliì† Makarovich.

Stories from the Siberian village...

Translated from Russian language.... So impossible to comprehend nor to enjoy its possible benefits to a Russian sole.

Carlson, Melody,

The Christmas tree farm.

Very moody, sort of the family drama. Two young siblings are fighting and past is triggering them to no end... But at the end of the novel, it seems like everything is settling down much better: siblings mutually share their aspirations, dramas and deep concerns about their inner vulnerabilities.

Musi, Vincent J, author, illustrator.

The year of the Dogs !

Perfectly written and dedicated to all the lovely dogs ! Author is definitely in love with each and every one of them, as is his wife. The best Dog book I have ever read. Each story is articulated intelligently and with abounded love, interest and care. And each id different from one to another. Soft, hilarious, loving and great care. One must Read it ! As we're all better in their presence....

America, the beautiful.

Not in this small-scale album-book. It's tiny text and photos are not relevant to a big and must be beautiful landscape and great buildings ... Not what it is represented here, at all !

Please see complete Review for the 2024 Book's Production date.

Nothing to write home about. Tiny and not engaging, whatsoever !
