    Book Tip!

    I hope no one minds me posting a little book tip here, sorry if anyone does!

    Thor by Wayne Smith

    This is one of my all time favorite books, and I think almost anyone would appreciate it, but mostly dog lovers perhaps. The main character is Thor, a German shepard. The book is written from his perspective and is very hilarious when describing how Thor looks at common day things such a phones and cars. The book also has a nice touch by adding a supernatural and scary element to the story. I don't want to go into depth as to what this is exactly since it would ruin the book for you, but it is delicately handled and non-fans of supernatural things will be able to enjoy it still.

    So whether you just want to read a refreshing and unique book from a dogs perspective with a different touch, or you are just looking for some leisure on a lboring Sunday afternoon, this is a great book that I warmly recommend to everyone.

    BTW, this is my 100th post!

    Ann, I just called my local library and had them put Thor on hold for me to pick up this evening. I am looking forward to reading it!

    I will let you know how I like it.

    Thanks for the book tip Ann! I finally got around to requesting the book from the library and reading it! I love it!!!

    Every year at Halloween, the studio my husband and I dance at puts on a haunted house to raise money for our annual trip to perform at Disney World. i have been trying to get a werewolf into one of our rooms for a few years now, and I think maybe I can pull some ideas from the book!

    Thanks again!

    I didn't know my dad was doing book reviews. LOL!

    It sounds like a very interesting book! I work across the street from the Lansing Public Library. I'll have to see if they have it.

    I have heard of that book, but that is the first review that I have heard. Sounds excellent. I wish that I had time to read, I guess that will be another one to add to my Amazon.com wishlist. Ha!
