I just finished reading Up Close and Personal. It was a decent and quick read. I started last night and finished this morning. You totally knew where the book was going the entire time, but the characters were really likable. Fern Michaels is a huge animal fan and includes lots of pets in all of her books. I will just say that this can get terribly old. I like cats and dogs, too, but enough already. Please stop devoting so much print to them. Maybe that was her creative way to fluff the text and make the book longer. I have to start looking for something like that.

Next up is The Zookeeper's Wife. It is based on a true story of a couple who smuggled Jews into the Warsaw Zoo during World War II. Should be interesting.
