The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Cat BreedsDid you know that there are more cats than dogs as pets in the U.S.? You don’t notice because cats mostly stay inside. I’m a die-hard dog fan and never even considered getting a cat until I met and fell in love with a certain breed: the Birman. Now, I’m an equal-opportunity pet owner. To see if a breed of cat can win you over, take a look at Angela Rixon’s latest: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Cat Breeds

Last Words of the ExecutedI know it’s a somber topic, but most of us don’t ever plan the epitaph that will be inscribed on our tombstones.  Have you ever thought what you want your last words to humanity to be?  Take a look at Last Words of the Executed by Robert K. Elder.  It’s a sometimes stunning, sometimes aggravating look at a person’s last moment.
