Paris: Always in my ♥ Donating YT Member | Wonderful Book "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein is a wonderful touching story told from a dogs perspective. I don't think I have read such a great book in a long time. Maybe because of Paris' troubles but also because it was a great story I was emotionally caught up in the tale. Don't forget Paris' blog http:/paristheblindwonderdog.blogspot.com |

| Oh, I read that book and loved it! I have another one for you . . A Dog's Purpose, that I'm reading now. I love it. It's about this little puppy who is born and spends his life trying to figure out what his purpose is. So sweet; a little bit sad too.

| I absolutely loved The Art of Racing in the Rain. I heard they're going to make a movie out of it. I'm going to go get A Dog's Purpose today!

| I have The Art of Racing in the Rain and haven't even read it yet. Somehow I just can't find time to read or paint.........two things I dearly love.

I LOVED this book. I just finished The Search by Nora Roberts which was dog-based as well as mystery/murder/romance and it was really good.

| I love to read but have not gone looking for a book in awhile. I really like Nora Roberts and the other 2 sound good too. Looks like I have 3 books to get now. Thank you for encouraging me to get back to something I love.

| I can not say enough good things about this book....love, love, loved it! There were so many beautiful metaphors in book. I enjoyed the book so much I still listen to it on audiobook from time to time.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I loved The Art of Racing in the Rain. It was my selection for book club over the summer, and it got high marks from our group. I can absolutely see Patrick Dempsey playing Denny!
