I like animal stories. I've read James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small series. I completely related to Marley and Me: Love and Life With the World's Worst Dog (I adore my beagle, but she did dig up my carpet and destroy my miniblinds). Watership Down got me to look at the world from a rabbit's point of view, and The Cat Who Went to Paris introduced me to Norton, a Scottish fold cat who adventures around the globe with his human. A few others that are on my must read list:

Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron

Come Back, Como: Winning the Heart of a Reluctant Dog by Steven Winn

Dog, Inc.: The Uncanny Inside Story of Cloning Man's Best Friend by John Woestendiek

Following Atticus: Forty-Eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship by Tom Ryan

And just so you know, I'm always open to suggestions!

If you haven't picked up a copy of this year's One Book One Community title, there's still plenty of time to get one and join in the fun! This is actually my fourth year participating in this great fall event.

All the Way Home: Building a Family in a Falling Down House follows author David Giffels and his family as they move into a once beautiful home in Akron, Ohio. Fixer upper doesn't even begin to describe the attention and dedication needed to make the place habitable. But Giffels puts in the hard work, the perseverance, and a lot of love to create not just a liveable house, but a lifelong home.

Northern Kentucky One Book One Community started in 2007 as an annual community-wide reading partnership program between Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton County Public Libraries. The program promotes a sense of community by facilitating the enjoyment of reading and talking about a great book. People all across the region participate in public and private book discussions, attend supplemental library programs, and then meet the author at library talks and book signings.
