The Art of Racing in The Rain

I know, right? It's been a LONG time. But dudes, I had a BABY so you have to cut me some slack. And despite all the howling the wee one seems to be doing lately, I managed to consume a book! Sadly, because of all the howling I have very little time to summarize my thoughts on this book, so this will be a short review.

Basically, I really liked it. My first thought was, "Its' written from a dog's perspective?? Meh." But really I ended up loving that about it! The dog was so sweet, exactly like I imagine a dog thinking. I loved imagining that dogs really do like that you leave the tv on for them when you go to work. I loved that it took place in Seattle where I live. I have many more things to say but the babe is grumped up and needing attention. Basically, go read this book - it's real good. Thanks Mom for loaning it to me.

I liked this one too but haven't reviewed it yet. It's kind of a hard one. I almost cried when his parents showed up.

Oh, will you ever post a photo of your baby? Congratulations!!

Also loving the daily updates. I don't comment, but love reading them!

I'll be having a baby in February and my greatest fear is not having time to read anymore!! But, when I look at your cuttie pie, I think one should not mind about having no more time to read...

We used to leave NPR on for Krasner. Then one day we came home to find that she had chewed through the cord.

At the bookstore, I've picked this book up and put it back down probably 10 times, each because of the dog narration. But I think it's time to give it a try.
