5Doggies Book Blog Intro

Hi there! I'm Elleanore Vance and I'm your host here at Five dogs Book Blog.  If you find your way here,  you may have seen some of my work over on the Consortium of Seven. 

There isn't any real rhyme or reason to what i read,  just whatever I'm in the mood for at the time,  so this will be a really eclectic mix.  Hold on to your hats!

I loved every minute of the last 2+years with the Consortium. I am so glad to have my own space here on Blogger.

I'm going to do my best to share all of my absolute favorites right here with all of you lovely people.  Many of my favorite stories have been found in battered,  discarded library copies. 

Just because it's new doesn't mean it will speak to your soul,  and so many times,  that is exactly what I'm looking for.  Here we look for books that resonate.  Thank you for finding me here at the 5 Dogs Book Blog!

Before i go,  here's my ranking scale:

5 Barking Doggies= 5 stars
4 Playful Doggies= 4 stars
3 Distracted Doggies= 3stars
2 Napping Doggies =2 stars
1 Lonely Doggy= 1 star

Thanks again for joining me here!  Keep your eyes peeled for a monthly piece

The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred the Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes, a review by Elleanore G Vance

Fred is not an Anne Rice style vamipre. Nor is he a glittery vampire. Fred is a geeky vampire. He wears sweater vests and refuses to give up his glasses because he just doesnt look like himself without them. He even indulges  in his taste for fine wine and cheese having discovered that his vampire physiology treats human food like the human system treats chewing gum.  In fact the biggest difference between Alive Fred and Unalive Fred is that instead of working for one of the biggest accounting firms in Winslow, Colorado, he now owns his own. The first in a, currently, 6 book series, U, U, &U is told as a series of vignettes.  In the first, we go with Fred to his Highschool Reunion over Halloween; likely the last he will attend. The second involves a group of  LARPers who have met in a park to play. Fred and a Friend show up to play along.  The third,  takes us to Las Vegas. Similar to the first act of a Heist movie,  this first book is very much getting the team together,  and ye

The Unexpected Mrs Polifax

by Dorothy Gilman Mrs. Polifax #1 a review by Elleanore G. Vance Emily Polifax is afraid to take her geraniums to the roof of her apartment building in New Brunswick, New Jersey because thenprecipice was entirely too inviting that one time.  Whennher doctor sees the change in her, knowing that she is recently widowed with adult children, he suggests  she try a new hobby. Something she's always wanted to do; charitable work, the arts, and tavelling are among his suggestions. But what has Emily Polifax always wanted to do? Her dearest childhood ambition? Why, to be a spy, of course! So she boards a bus to Langley, letter of introduction from her senator in hand. She wasn't  supposed to meet Mr. Carstairs, she was supposed to talk to an underling and be given a tour, then sent on her way. Mr. Carstairs happens to meet her when he barges into the conference room she is waiting in, believing her to be a retired feild agent reporting for a courier job. The courier is to go to M

Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIHM by Robert C. O'Brein

A review by Elleanore G Vance In my younger days, Mrs Frisby called out to me from a stack of books my high-school library was culling. I had permission from the librarian to take as many as I wanted; and I did! ( I crammed my locker full every day, and packed them all home stuffed in my backpack over the next several weeks until the charity shop came to pick up the ones I had yet to get to. I still mourn those stories lost to time) I read it that summer, as we crossed Lake Michigan aboard the S.S. Badger.  I have read it several times since then, and each time something different stands out to me. I say this as a warning who might choose to read this as a bedtime book with the children in your life. Mrs. Jonathan Frisby is a field mouse, a recent widow and mother of three. Mrs. Frisby is adjusting to her widow-hood, when Timothy, her youngest, falls ill late in the winter. As he fails to improve, with Spring fast approaching, Mrs. Frisby seeks help from a friend of her husband. He p
