"The One Year Daily Acts of Kindness Devotional"


The One Year Daily Acts of Kindness Devotional
contains 365 inspiring ideas to reveal, give, and find God's love written by three women:  Julie Fisk, Kendra Roehl and Kristin Demery.  I enjoyed this book very much for several reasons.  Each devotional is just one page so it didn't take much time to read so was easy to keep up doing.  I also liked the different examples each author shared from their personal lives showing a specific kind act.  Each devotional had a verse to go with it as well as an action step to take.  This was a very practical devotional book focusing on being kind to others.  (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"The Wives" by Tarryn Fisher is a Wild One!


The Wives
by Tarryn Fisher is about a woman who only sees her husband one day a week.  Why?  Because he has two other women to whom he is married.  This book is told by Thursday because that is the day her husband shares with her.  I liked the main character and the story line that kept me engaged and guessing what would happen next.  I also liked the ending of this wild story!  (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"The Younger Wife" by Sally Hepworth

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)

Gerard's review March 25, 2022:
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)
