Mehso-so

I was so excited for this. A book about dogs; what could be better?

The first half had some funny anecdotes about dogs, but it was more like Jennings was trying to impress with the number of quotes from renown people that she could include.

I can't review the second half without spoilers, so see comments for more thoughts.

Overall, disappointing - but it is about dogs so I can't give it a thumbs down!

Sarz It's a book about dogs so I expected the dogs to die. I wasn't looking forward to it but I was expecting it. However, the dogs don't die. The dogs are given away. I try not to judge as everyone is in a different situation, but I just couldn't understand it. And I definitely wasn't interested in any of her stories, about Bali and everything else, after that. She completely lost me. 6y

Oh my goodness, look at this haul for #sockswap! Thanks so much @CarolynM you're so kind and generous! I especially liked the doggo socks - I squealed when I saw them.

Yay for Litsy and yay for new friends just on the other side of the city! :)

Thanks for organising, @JPeterson

CarolynM You are very welcome. Hope you enjoy it all🐶💜 6y

Leo isn't impressed by a book with dogs on the cover by I enjoyed Kate Jennings's story of her much loved dogs in New York and some monkeys in Bali. #catsoflitsy

Jeg What a lovely cat. 😻. After minding a friends cute little dog recently I came to really realise I‘m just not a dog person . I much prefer cats. 😻😻. I do like dogs but I prefer not living with them right now. 6y
CarolynM @Jeg I'm with you, I like dogs but I really don't want to own one. 6y
