It's been a while since I've read a book about dogs, but I got back on that trail with Gold Rush Dogs, by Claire Rudolf Murphy & Jane G. Hatch. Not all of these dogs were northern breeds, in fact, I wondered how some of them survived the cold, but all of them were heroes. So much so that there would be an obituary in the paper when they died. I like that popular fictional dogs were included as well. Some of these dogs were the inspiration for them. Wonderful photos!

On to another old trail, this time it's Doctor Who. Whoniverse, by Lance Parkin, is exactly what the subtitle indicates: the Unofficial Planet-by-Planet Guide to the Universe of the Doctor, From Gallifrey to Skaro. I enjoyed parts of this book, but then, I am new to Doctor Who so for those of you who have watched the show (or read the books, etc.) for a longer period of time, it should be even better! :-)

I had mixed feelings about the new Louise Penny book Glass Houses. Part of me wanted the events within to be done and over, part of me didn't want the book to end so soon because, as always, the writing is just so good! Inspector Gamache makes a bold decision ... if it works it will have amazing results, if it doesn't he, and several of his coworkers, will be out of a job. The hard part is the waiting. And who (or what) is the mysterious figure in black who appears on the town green in Three Pines?
