Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

    The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan
    Kate Ryan, August 05, 2012

    Kate Ryan, August 04, 2012
    This is an amazing book, if only for the special way they describe the training of The Sawtelle Dogs.

For anyone interested in the genetics and training of dogs, or who just like to read about people training them, this one is a must read.
