MY READER'S BLOCK: Brother Sebastian at Large (mini-review)

SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling themself "Luigi Calloway" out there who is claiming to be associated with the Mount TBR Reading Challenge. He is contacting authors and telling them if they pay him, then their books will be used for the challenge. It's possible he's also telling people they must pay to participate in any way. Please know that there is absolutely no charge associated in any way with this reading challenge and that this person does not represent me or anything associated with my blog. There will NEVER be a reason for anyone to have to pay for participation in any way for any of my challenges. If only people who exert this much time and effort on scamming people would put it into something worthwhile....like reading their own books!

Brother Sebastian at Large (mini-review)

Brother Sebastian at Large (1961) by Chon Day

Brother Sebastian is a whimsical little monk. A man of few words (none in this collection, actually) with an almost mischievous sense of humor. But he's always on the side of the angels and has very positive messages to convey along with the dose of laughter. Very cute, very gentle humor. Apparently Brother Sebastian was pretty popular in the late 50s/early 60s because the author says in a preface that he is now seven years old. In fact, the Brother Sebastian comics appeared in Look magazine from 1954 to 1971, in three book collections (including this one), and Chon Day received the National Cartoonists Society Special Features Award for his Brother Sebastian work in 1969. Since there is no text...
