KismetKat Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Have just started reading this for my bookclub. I've SO enjoyed the first chapter I thought I'd share. The basic plot is a woman inherits her Aunt's house and rescue kennels. The aunt had a real knack for matching up dogs with new owners, but the neice doesn't think of herself as a 'dog person'...

KismetKat Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 A little "bump" - I am now up to chapter 5 and enjoying this book thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest belgian.blue Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Googled it and sounds really sweet Is it kind of short stories or one big one? Not the type of book I'd read but still looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KismetKat Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Googled it and sounds really sweet :rolleyes: Is it kind of short stories or one big one? Not the type of book I'd read but still looks interesting. One big one. The chapters I've read so far have introduced the woman who inherits the kennels, introduced the people who help, introduced the dogs, and then gone on to introduce some of the potential adoptees. It's an easy read - no heavy-going so far. Just the sort of book that's nice to read a chapter or two in bed before snoozing off. ETA: I got my copy from the book depository, an online bookshop mentioned in a thread on these forums. It was half the price of bookshops here (free shipping) and I got it within 10 days.

KismetKat Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 With so many of us reading it perhaps we should plan a date/time in about a month's time to all get online and have a nice (doggie) book discussion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KismetKat Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I was trying to limit myself to a chapter a night in bed - but I had a quiet Sunday (too hot for dog school) and... Anyway - what a surprise at the end! I think the author is a DOLer as there are a couple of pages of "interview" at the end where she makes much of pedigree dogs, choosing a breeder and also supporting rescue.
