Courtney Sullivan, author of

Commencement

“Commencement is one of this year's most inviting summer novels…. Entertaining… smart, discerning…. Ms. Sullivan introduces strong, warmly believable three-dimensional characters who have fun, have fights and fall into intense love affairs.” —The New York Times

“The author manages to find that sweet spot between Serious Literature and chick lit. Commencement is a beach book for smart women–and the girls they once were.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Brave…. Sullivan… excels at close-up portraits…. Commencement also fulfills its ambition to offer a witty take on the stereotypes of women's colleges, much as Curtis Sittenfeld's Prep did with elite boarding schools…. Sullivan's gifts are substantial.” –The New York Times Book Review

Pooch's Pick of the Month


101 Dog Tricks
by Kyra Sundance & Chalcy

101 Dog Tricks is the largest trick book on the market and the only one presenting full-color photos of each trick and its training steps? The step-by-step approach, difficulty rating, and prerequisites, allow readers to start training immediately. Tips and trouble-shooting boxes cover common problems, while "build-on" ideas suggest more complicated tricks which build on each new skill. No special tools (such as clickers) or knowledge of specific training methods are required. Trick training is a great way to bond with your dog and help him integrate into your family. It keeps him mentally and physically challenged and helps to establish paths of communication between you. Many tricks build skills needed for common dog sports, dog dancing, and dog therapy work. It's every dog lover's privilege that Kyra and Chalcy took time from their performing schedule to share their secrets in 101 Dog Tricks.
