The Puppy Express: On the Road with 25 Rescue Dogs ... What Could Go Wrong? | David Rosenfelt

so-so

I wanted so much to love this book because it is about rescue dogs. Some parts had me tearing up, but the book felt a little static for me.

The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World | Stephen Brusatte

pick

The history of dinosaurs, wrapped up with the history of paleontology, from the Bone Wars to the asteroid/comet debate and everything in between, plus how new advances in technology, computer imaging, and statistics are helping unravel even more mysteries as we understand with increasing clarity more about these behemoths of history that have always fascinated our imagination.

Geeklet I love this book so much!!! If you‘re still feeling a need to read about dinosaurs, I highly suggest the tagged book. I think Dr. Benton has worked with Dr. Brusatte.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice It‘s a tough one to review, without telling all the great parts or going over the character limit. 5y

Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa well I have listened on audio and kept confusing the different sauruses. I need to look through the print. Did you read? 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice Nope, I listened on audiobook... but if I find it in print on sale in the future I‘ll definitely be picking it up to add to my collection. 5y

Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have it from the library but keep getting distracted with new releases! 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice My library didn‘t have it, so I was happy when it showed up in an audible sale. 5y

Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I found it on Hoopla! 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice Well I‘ll have to check it out there and at least flip through to see the pictures...well, once October flips over and I have borrows again. 😬😂 5y

Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa the audiobook I mean. I did not find the ebook on there 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice oh, okay. I understand now. 5y

Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century | Kirk Wallace Johnson

pick

If you like bizarre true-crime stories, this one is the right one. You will be drag down to the feather underground, exploring the fly-tie art. Boring? Not at all! Author has successfully combined his personal story with natural history, humans nature - obsession with the birds (well, obsession with the feathers) into the very coherent and readable story.

We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.: Essays | Samantha Irby

pick

This is a reread, but a worthy one. Her description of working in a vet clinic was dead on! (I have had both of the above experiences in my 15 years of working with vets and being one.) The rest of the book is funny a heck, too! 4⭐️

I just needed something fun because I have a much hated medical procedure tomorrow! 👎🏻

Carolyn11215 I just got this from the library!! 6y

Megabooks @Carolyn11215 I hope you enjoy it!! 6y

mom2bugnbee @Megabooks I'm a vet as well, though currently in teaching rather than practice. But I will definitely need to check this out. My best story was the woman who asked me with complete seriousness if other dogs would laugh at her dog if he was neutered. Only time I've ever had to put someone on hold to laugh. I'm just thankful it was over the phone & not in person! 6y

Hooked_on_books I loved this book 6y

Megabooks @mom2bugnbee that‘s a good one! I got a late night “emergency” call once where the guy just wanted me to say vulva several times. 🤦🏻‍♀️😝 Nice to find another vet on here! (edited) 6y

Megabooks @Hooked_on_books it‘s really good! 6y

mom2bugnbee @Megabooks OMG that's just creepy. 😳 6y

Megabooks @mom2bugnbee Yeah! It was one of those where he a) didn‘t have a dog, b) he did, but it was fine, c) he balked at our 151$ emergency fee, which was pretty on par with everyone else d) he was piss drunk and would probably be arrested for a DUI! 🤪 I hated being on emergency! 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I hope all goes well today! 6y

Megabooks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It did! Thank you! 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Megabooks You are very welcome!! 6y
