"Animals and the Kids Who Love Them"

Animals and The Kids Who Love Them by Allen and Linda Anderson shares many stories of special needs children and the animals who gave them hope and comfort, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and even a turtle! If this book doesn't put a smile on your face and touch your heart, I don't know what will! Read it and you'll feel better about life!

"Down The Darkest Road" by Tami Hoag

We both liked Down the Darkest Road by Tami Hoag!  A killer is loose; who and when will he strike next? This is an awesome book--Tami has done it again! Although there is not much action in this book, the suspense keeps building resulting in a fantastic ending! The writing is very good! Great job, Tami! Can't wait for her next book!
(Gerard's review)

Down The Darkest Road by Tami Hoag is about how the criminals’ rights are protected to the extent they actually walk around freely because there is no evidence that they did anything wrong.  In this book you know who the criminal is up front and what a pervert he is, yet the police can’t do anything about it because of the laws.  After a fight with her dad, 16-yr-old Leslie turns up missing.  Her younger sister, Leah, who never caused her parents any trouble grows resentful when she feels neglected.  The dad can’t handle the grief and gets killed in an “accident” leaving just the mother and Leah to deal with the incident.  When the cops can’t come up with any evidence to make an arrest, the mother goes off on her own with Leah to seek justice in her mind. 

 

I thought this was an interesting read but didn’t approve of the mother going off on her own being a vigilante and putting Leah in danger.  I liked the ending and enjoyed the trip though.  My favorite characters were Leah and Mendez and cop.

"Through a Dog's Eyes" by Jennifer Arnold

What a wonderful book Through a Dog's Eyes by Jennifer Arnold is!  Jennifer is the founder and Executive Director of Canine Assistants, a service dog school.  She knows dogs and shares great stories about great people and their dogs.  You will find out why dogs have wet noses--bet you don't know!  I loved this book!  "A good dog is a tired dog!"  So, go out there and walk your dog and especially, love your dog--they love us!  Visit www.canineassistants.org for more information about companion dogs for the disabled.

Tuesday Teasers: "The Crown" and "Deceit"

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should  Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just do the following

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on  that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away!   You don’t  want  to  ruin the  book for others!)
• Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can  add the book to their TBR  Lists  if they  like your teaser.   

Gerard's:

A grim laugh from Bishop Gardiner. "With Cromwell's spies everywhere, watching everything I do? I think not."
His eyes settled on me.
"No, Sister Joanna, I'm not going to find the Athelstan crown. You are."

From page 10 of The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau.

Karen's:

New fear surged. How could I even think of looking for a strange man in a mask after dark? All alone out here?

From page 27 of Deceit by Brandilyn Collins.

"The Crown" by Nancy Bilyeau

The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau tells the story of a nun, Joanna, who must find a relic crown to save her father who is being held captive.  I thought the first part of this book was really good with lots of action and was into it.  From part two on is when I had a problem with it.  This book is far from bad, don't get the wrong idea.  I just enjoyed the first part much more.
