First, I picked up 'A Dog's Way Home'. This is by the same author as 'A Dog's Purpose' which still holds the rank of my favorite book.
The dog hero of this novel finds himself searching for his way home to the man who loves him. Along the way he makes many unlikely friends and has numerous relationships, some of which last for quite some time but he never loses sight of his goal, to find his way home. Besides being entertaining, this book highlights the effects of antibulldog laws and many issues effecting veterans.
A great read that I highly recommend.
The second book I want to tell you about is 'A Man Called Ove'.
Ove is your classic curmudgeon. He is a widower who finds himself pushed into retirement. He feels as if his time on earth is pretty much finished. Fortunately for us, and for his neighbors, each time he finds a way to join his wife, someone needs him. As he grudgingly goes about being helpful to his neighbors and that annoying cat, he rediscovers a purpose in life. Although my description sounds quite somber, I guarantee you that you will smile as you recognize these characters in the people that you know in your own neighborhood. I can't wait to share this book with my friends!
