Its Friday night. I’m totally late with my review. So tonight I’m going to review 3 books I’ve read recently. Check them out:
Mutts Shelter Stories: Love. Guaranteed. -This is an adorable book. A mix of Mutts cartoon strips, and beautiful photos of shelter pets. All the photos have a one line story to go with them about an adopted pet. So absolutely heartwarming. Makes me want to run right out and adopt a pet. I love this book. It makes me smile (and cry) every time I crack it open. The Mutts cartoon strips are adorable. The stories of animals saved from shelters are so great. Being a person who can’t visit animal shelters, because I won’t leave without an animal, I love being able to share in the ‘shelter experience’ without having to go there.
Peter and the Starcatchers
– Ever wonder how Peter Pan & the Lost Boys ended up on Neverland? Comedy writer Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson teamed up to write the prequel (actually there’s 4 books now) adventure to Peter Pan. How dies an orphaned boy from London end up an enchanted flying boy who lives on an Island in the middle of the ocean? It is a wonderful story, and really neat to see all the characters you know and love pop up. Fall in love with Peter Pan all over again.
Temeraire Trilogy: In the Service of the King -I’m a historical fiction junkie, and I really like when my historical fiction gets some fantasy or scifi in it. This is the perfect series for that. Set in England in the time of the Napoleonic War, but instead of just fighting with the navy, artillery and cavalry, there is an aerial corps…of dragons! Quite accidentally, a career navy man ends up a captain of one of these dragons. As prickly and proper as he is, you really end up liking Captain Lawrence. And his dragon Temeraire is a treat! This is the first dragon series I’ve found that, while markedly different, rivals Anne McCaffrey’s dragons of Pern. It is really neat to have dragons set in our world.
