’ unwillingness to engage in any score settling or setting straight of the record is nothing short of remarkable and, for hungry wound-hunters, doubtless a disappointment.

We also do our other, usual Book Fight-y things, like catch up about our respective Christmases, and bicker about which of us is the nice one and which of us is the mean one. We try to figure out why the book left both of us a little cold, given that we’ve both liked other, similar novels. Or maybe we’re just tired and cranky, here at the tail end of the holiday season. It maybe left us both a little underwhelmed.
#Sleepless night book series
It’s another short novel, one more in Mike’s series of “first person, loosely plotted” picks of the past few months. Resolutions need to be phased in!Īnyway, we do have a book to discuss this week, which is Elizabeth Hardwick’s Sleepless Nights.

After, that is, our usual 7-15 minutes of idle chit chat. Just professional, serious book criticism. (Mar.Welcome, Book Fighters, to 2016! It’s a new year, and things are going to be different around here. This picture book scores high points on the snuggle scale and is just the ticket for the train to Nod. Generously tinted with humor, the illustrations radiate security as they offer up a cheerful menagerie of animal friends decked out in pajamas. Gorbachev's (Nicky and the Big Bad Wolves) pen-and-ink and watercolor artwork has a homespun coziness, which is amplified by his busy use of line and crosshatching. Roth's (Whose Mess Is This?) breezy style is right on target for this merry bedtime tale, which also serves as a gentle reminder to nocturnal migrants that there truly is no place like one's own bed. In the end, he returns eagerly to his own bed for some proper shut-eye. Like Goldilocks trying out successive porridge servings, chairs and beds until she finds the one that is just right, so Little Bunny, an ""only"" rabbit faced with loneliness at bedtime, hops away from home in search of ""the company of a good friend."" Welcomed with open arms wherever he goes, he nevertheless finds that the accommodations never quite measure up-Squirrel's place is too noisy, what with all the nut-cracking, Skunk's is too smelly, Porcupine's too prickly and so on.
