I’m ready for summer!
Lazy, warm days, lying in the sun with a good book.

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: Oprah-approved and she’s a dog lover and there’s dogs in it. A Win-Win-Win.
Nature Walks in Connecticut: A reference to broaden our trail hikes.
The Art of Racing in the Rain: I know I just read it – it’s THAT good.
A Thousand Acres: Strong women in farm country – cool.
Cat’s Eye: Know thine enemy.
Marley & Me: Kind of a goofy hero, but I totally GET him during thunderstorms.
In Her Shoes: Lawyer to Dog-Walker; nuff said.
Housekeeping: Coming of age story with vintage names like Ruthie and Sylvie. A dog character named Scout would fit right in, don’t you think?
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time: My dog friends do not recommend this book even with *dog* in the title. I’m gonna make up my own mind.


hi – just found your blog…
I actually didn’t enjoy Edgar Sawtelle so much. Maybe you’ll feel differently.. I walked away liking bits of it, but not the book as a whole.
LOVED A Thousand Acres! It was a required read in a Rural Lit class, but I really enjoyed it.
Have you read Merle’s Door? It’s my go-to suggestion to any and every dog lover.
