It’s not every day I read a watercolor-illustrated by book by (what I can only assume was) an Irish-Catholic hippy! But these are weird days, so here I am. I came across this book in another Little Free Library. I … Continue reading

This gallery contains 2 photos.

It’s always a joy for me to discover a “new” author who writes in a delightfully fresh way. Jules Feiffer is 100% that for me, and although I’ve read just this single submission, he’s become an instant favorite for me … Continue reading

This gallery contains 2 photos.
