The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth is told by three women: Heather, who is going to marry a man in his 60s and Jully and Rachel, the daughters of the 60-yr.-old man. I thought this book was really good. The pacing is great! You do not know what is going to happen next. I loved how the women tell this story that has a very good ending! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"No Ordinary Dog" by Will Chesney, U.S. Navy Seal
No Ordinary Dog by Will Chesney tells the true story of Will, a Navy Seal and his dog, Cairo. When I first decided to read this book, my plan was to just skim the first part to get to the dog part of it, but I ended up reading every word because the writing was so good and it was so interesting! I liked how the author shared his personal feelings about what he went through trying to become a Navy Seal and how he wound up being a dog handler for the Seals. Cairo was the dog Will was matched with and what a great dog Cairo was! It was exciting to read about the battles they fought together, especially the one where Bin Laden was finally killed. I enjoyed reading about Will and Cairo's wonderful relationship and of course cried at the end when Cairo had cancer and had to be put down. I just brought back the memory of when we had to let Abby go and how we were so selfish, letting her be in such pain for so long. I also felt bad for Will who suffered injuries and had to wait for so long to get a medical retirement. This is a book I won't soon forget! (Karen's review, 5 stars)
No Ordinary Dog by Will Chesney tells the true story of Will, a Navy Seal and his dog, Cairo. What a great read! The first part tells how Will became a Seal and soon after he was matched up with Cairo, a very special dog! What they have the dogs trained to do is amazing! It makes me glad to know these people and their dogs are defending us. (5+ stars)

"The Reading List" by Sara Nisha Adams is About the Power of Books
The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams shows how books can play a big part in your life. I really enjoyed the two main characters: an old man discovering the library for the first time, and a young girl who works at the library. It is humorous and the story line kept me interested all the way. I think this is a wonderful book that all ages would enjoy. (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"The Cage" by Bonnie Kistler is a Page Turner!
In The Cage by Bonnie Kistler, two women enter an elevator lost in their own thoughts. When it reaches the ground floor, one woman is dead from a gun shot! Was it murder or suicide? I thought this novel was really good. Just the Prologue will get you hooked and the writing will keep you engaged right to the great ending! The main character, Shay Lambert, was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this one! (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"One Two Three" by Laurie Frankel is Enjoyable
One Two Three by Laurie Frankel is told by three female triplets. They live in a small town where everyone knows everyone and nothing much goes on. When a moving van comes to town, it is big news! This story is told very well. I enjoyed the three girls who narrated it very much. I was into it from page 1. (Gerard's review, 5 stars)
