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)
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)
