What Is Your Favorite Magazine?

If you are a reader like me, you probably read magazines too.  I think BEST FRIENDS MAGAZINE is one of the best ever!  I read it cover to cover because the articles on all the animals they have at their shelter are always interesting with cute pictures as well!  They do a very good job and I am so glad that I support them.  Give it a chance by making a donation.  You will feel good and it will put a smile on your face--it does mine!  You can donate and read all about them at www.bestfriends.org (I believe you get the magazine free when you donate.)

"Bunker Hill--A City, A Siege, A Revolution" by Nathaniel Philbrick

Leave comment to enter the Giveaway

Bunker Hill--A City, A Siege, A Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick brought me up to speed on my limited knowledge about Bunker Hill and Benedict Arnold. I always enjoy books that I can learn more about historical events and this was no exception. Now I feel like I know the full story! The first hundred pages were a bit dry reading; however, once it got closer to the battle of Bunker Hill, things really picked up. The story about the battle was eye-opening and riveting! I you are a fan of historical reading, you will love this book!

"WAVE" by Sonali Deraniyagala

Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala is the true story of how she lost her whole family one morning due to a tsunami. She was able to somehow survive. You can really feel the love she had for her family and the heartbreak of losing them followed by anger that she is the one left. I read this book in just one day. It’s a very interesting read!

"Trident K9 Warriors" by Mike Ritland with Gary Brozek

Trident K9 Warriors by Mike Ritland with Gary Brozek tells the story of an elite group of dogs who go through special training to help our men fight the wars around the world. I especially enjoyed the stories of the battle where the dogs played a vital role. Of course, I liked the pictures of the dogs too! Some of the chapters that dealt with non-battle scenes I skimmed. To Mike Ritland and your band of brothers in arms, thank you for your service!

"Beyond the Bear" by Dan Bigley and Debra McKinney

Beyond the Bear by Dan Bigley and Debra McKinney tells the true story of how Dan was mauled by a bear and survived. To his credit, he worked hard and was able to make something of his life again, even though he had lost his sight. I enjoyed the stories he told of his re-habilitation and of his help that he received from friends. God bless you, Dan, and your family!
