Stuff I Love

I've decided to add a new bi-weekly segment to my blog in which I post a book or a thing that I love. I love when people recommend great books to me, or when I am debating over a product purchase, I like talk to someone who has actually used it and can tell me their honest experience with it. I am not paid for any of these reviews, but just thought it would be a good way to share what I love. I would also love to hear your suggestions of things you love and use on a daily basis or a great book that you just finished! :-) I will also provide a link to the book or product below, in case you'd like to read more reviews about it or purchase it! So, enjoy!

I'm going to kick off this segment with a book that has become one of my favorites. It's called The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. I know I have already mentioned this book to a few people individually, but it's definitely worth a more public mention. I read this book about a month before my boyfriend and I got a puppy, and oddly enough it gave me a really incredible viewpoint into his thoughts (my puppy's not my boyfriend's :-)). The book is told completely from a family's dog's point of view, and gives a very unique perspective on all of the strange things that humans do. What I love most about this book is that as you're reading it, the fact that you're reading a human's writing doesn't even cross your mind. I was completely engrossed in it being told by a dog and actually had to stop and think about the fact that a human wrote it! The writer did a fabulous job of really putting himself into the mind of his dog and observing things as his dog would. It's a great book and I highly recommend it as a lighthearted, fun read that will change the way you look at your pet.
