Two Wonderful Books with Dogs: One Memoir, One Fiction #BookReview

I loved both of these books, although they were very different. When Harry Met Minnie is a memoir by Marthat Teichner dealing with love of Bull Terriers and how that brought two women together in a heartbreaking yet wonderful friendship. A Dog’s Courage is a story from W. Bruce Cameron and is the second book in A Dog’s Way Home series. It is very timely, dealing with forest fires and the animals that get displaced by them. Fiction, but realistic. Both of these books were provided by the publisher upon request. The rating and opinions shared are my own.

National Poetry Month – Songs of Heartstrings by Miriam Hurdle #BookReview @mhurdle112

I took several weeks to enjoy this book of poems. I enjoyed them and wanted time to ponder them, not rush through them. Miriam Hurdle is a blogger I follow who shares wonderful photographs, poetry and snapshots into her life among other things. I enjoy her blog and wanted to read her book. I was not disappointed.

“Do you smellllllll what the Rock is cookin’?” Two Books about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson #BookReview

My husband and I were huge wrestling fans. We used to go over to Detroit to Joe Louis Arena for live wrestling events. We were more of the Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, and Rick Flair generation, but we did watch The Rock on Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Main Event. When these two books were offered on Edelweiss, I wanted to check them out. Of course he is know just as much for his acting career as he is for wrestling and these books showcase both of those.

The Answer Is…: Reflections on My Life by Alex Trebek, Narrated by Ken Jennings

When I saw this audiobook available at my library, I had to grab it. I have a few reasons for this: 1. I love Jeopardy, 2. Alex Trebek is a Canadian and was actually born in Ontario, 3. My husband passed away from pancreatic cancer. I am so glad I did because I really enjoyed this memoir.
