Hi Everyone!
It's been a little bit since I have done some mini-reviews...so here we go!
Boy Crazy Stacey
The graphic novel from BSC. I love this series! (And Stacey is secretly my fave...shhhh).
The Fire Never Goes Out
Noelle Stevenson book about her life. It was a combo of journal meets comics and I really enjoyed it!
Who Gets In and Why
This one has been on my NG list longer then it should have been. It was an insiders look at the College Admissions process. I really enjoyed the insights into this field and exploring with the author some of the secondary dynamics that lead to the ultimate decision about whether a person attends or not.
Have you read any of these? What are you currently reading?
Happy Reading!

Hi Everyone! I am participating in the Thanksgiving Feast Book Tag. Here is how it works!
*Mention the creator of the tag, Elley the Book Otter (Thanks Elley!)
*If you were tagged, mention who tagged you! (nope, just saw it and looked fun)
Answer the prompts (and try not to get too hungry!)
Turkey: The centerpiece of any Thanksgiving Feast, but it’s
always dry and actually isn’t that great… – A book that everyone likes, for
some reason that completely escapes you.
Stuffing: Warm and filling, and best when smothered with
gravy – A comfort read.
Potatoes: Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew – A book
that’s great in any format – hardcover, digital, audio…
Green bean casserole: the obligatory side dish that you have
to have… whether you want it for not. – A book that you were obligated to read
(for school, for a book club, because it was a gift…)
Not sure-I love Green Bean Casserole :)
Cranberries: Do you serve real cranberries, or canned
cranberry jelly? A book that is highly divisive – and you have strong opinions
about it.
Pie: Whether it’s pumpkin, apple, pecan, or French silk,
it’s not Thanksgiving without pie – A book you can’t live without.
Happy Reading!

Author: Shawn Buckley and Oscar Chavez
Summary from Goodreads:
A big, inside look at the shocking lack of regulation within the pet food industry, and how readers can dramatically improve the quality of their dogs' lives through diet.
What's really going into commercial dog food? The answer is horrifying.
Big Kibble is big business: $75 billion globally. A handful of multi-national corporations dominate the industry and together own as many as 80% of all brands. This comes as a surprise to most people, but what's even more shocking is how lax the regulations and guidelines are around these products. The guidelines--or lack thereof--for pet food allow producers to include ever-cheaper ingredients, and create ever-larger earnings. For example, "legal" ingredients in kibble include poultry feces, saw dust, expired food, and diseased meat, among other horrors. Many vets still don't know that kibble is not the best food for dogs because Big Kibble funds the nutrition research. So far, these corporations have been able to cut corners and still market and promote feed-grade food as if it were healthful and beneficial--until now.
Just as you are what you eat, so is your dog. Once you stop feeding your dog the junk that's in kibble or cans, you have taken the first steps to improving your dog's health, behavior and happiness.
You know the unsavory side of Big Tobacco and Big Pharma. Now Shawn Buckley, Dr. Oscar Chavez, and Wendy Paris explain all you need to know about unsavory Big Kibble--and offer a brighter path forward for you and your pet.
Personal Review:
I am not even sure how many times, I have tried to figure out what the best food is for my pets. I have tried to google and do my homework so to say about what different things are good for them. Everytime I hear a scary story on the news, it triggers another search. So when I was offered this book, I said yes I want to read it.
I found the book informative and interesting. It is sad when something terrible happens to a pet, so trigger warning for that. But I think it is important information to get out there. Thanks for the opportunity to read. I appreciated all of the insights!
Disclaimer: I was awarded this book as part of the publisher. Though I did not pay for the book, the opinions are strictly my own.
Happy Reading!
