I’m grateful for more reviews for King Copper, and when a fellow blogging friend shares his/her review on their blog, I want to post it here to direct you to their site. Sometimes, I’ll reblog a post, or because of timing, I’ll combine. Either way, the gratitude feels the same! β€οΈ
So, to begin with, a HUGE Thanks to my friend, Ernie at dawgydaddyresponds for his dashing review! Ernie also offered a great stop on the blog tour for which I appreciate!
Below is a snippet from Ernie:
Starting this book off the last stanza in “Copper Boy” speaks volumes to me.
He just loves in his simple way,
And we love him back,
And that is simply enough.
Looking at Coppers’ pictures youβll see nothing but love in his eyes, ok maybe mischief too. Ninety-one years in dog time he trained his four human pets and had them sharing a dogs life of adventurous fun as witnessed in βGuard Dogβ. βYoung Labβ had me laughing, wondering what the scene was at bath time.
Lauren effortlessly takes us form the joy to sadness as βSweet Faceβ turns the corner of feelings. βWill Youβ brought a sadness to me and reminded me of my dog Doc, it is a very touching poem and one of my favorites...
Please click on the link below to read the rest of Ernie’s review, and take time to peruse his site if you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him yet. Thanks again, Ernie!
And if you’re looking for a poetry collection that “explores the messy beauty of the human heart” check out Ernie’s book. Ink Stained Love is a beautiful collection – one of my favorites that rests comfortably in my bookcase. My review is on Amazon and Goodreads.
Lastly, a HUGE Thanks to Sally at smorgasbordblogmagazine for her lovely review. All of the reviews have brought tears of joy, knowing that my poems and Copper are touching the hearts of so many. How can I ever express the true gratitude I’m feeling? Sally also promoted my book during the blog tour, and again, I’m so appreciative!
Below is a snippet from Sally:
Those of us who have had pets, know from the outset that their lifespan is not the same as ours. We can only hope that the years they are with us will be filled with love and fun for them and for us.
This collection of poems about the wonderful King Copper, is not just an expression of grief at his loss, but a wonderful celebration of his life. His goofiness, and ability to sense the mood of those he loves, as he sprawls, dances and makes mischief.
The family are so lucky to have enjoyed this devotion for 13 years, and the love they experienced will stay with them all their lives. The hardest decision is of course that final act of love to put an end to pain and suffering, but it does weigh heavy on the heart.
However, this collection also brings hope, that just maybe we will meet up again and if we are lucky…
Please click on the link below to read the rest of Sally’s radiant review, and again, take some time to peruse around her amazing site if you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her.
And if you’re looking for a reference book for losing weight, staying healthy, and learning the science behind the foods we eat, Sally’s book is for you! She also inserts her own personal, inspiring story. Another favorite of mine resting in my bookcase, and my review is also on Amazon and Goodreads.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
I hope you’re leaving with ‘a book or two in hand’
and I wish you a weekend full of hope and
love in your heart. β₯οΈ
