Book Club Selection for February
This month my book club is reading Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron. I am really enjoying it. It is the story of a cat that lives in a library in Spencer, Iowa. I love cats and dogs and would love to find a cat living in the Hunter Library. It is an easy read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes cats or libraries.

I close my eyes
And, I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet,
the more I love my dog
-Carrie Underwood, The More Boys I Meet
John 15:13 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Alma 13:29 Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his crest.
Romans 5:15 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
In conclusion, Happy Valentine's! It's a shame we don't get school off for this holiday... Oh well!
