I’m so glad your dog is okay! What a nightmare to have to go through all that. As my dogs get older and older, I’m becoming an absolute mess every time I think something’s wrong with them.

I read Divergent a couple of years ago and thought it was okay. I haven’t had the desire to pick up the second book and felt no real need to go see the film. The guy cast as Four bothers me – which is a shallow reason not to see a movie, I know. But I have a hard time looking at his face with anything other than a grimace, lol.

The Rosie Project sounds like the ideal book for my bean bag chair outside in the summer sun.

In reply to Carrie K.. thanks Carrie. Yeah from your reviews I'm not sure about continuing with the Divergent series. Besides, I have too much else to read right now. So for now, I'll leave it with Divergent book 1.

In reply to Ti. My dog enjoys pumpkin kind of dog cookies which her stomach seems to do well with. How she became ill is quite a mystery, but I feel good we fixed a small leak on the car. Yeah I'm not sure if I will continue with the Divergent trilogy, maybe later in the future.

I am so glad your pup is okay! I wonder how she got into the antifreeze?? I’ve noticed with my pup, that when I give her certain treats, her stomach does not do well on them and she almost always takes a nosedive very quickly. I make sure the treats are not from China but I was told by a vet to give her real stuff, like pig ears or bully sticks but when I do, she does not tolerate them at all. I end up having to give her organic pumpkin to clean her up. So now, no more of that stuff even though it’s supposed to be natural. Did your dog have any treats like that?

Divergent. I thought it was an okay read. Not great enough to get me to read the other books in the trilogy but good for what it was.

I really want to see Divergent on screen. I enjoyed the first book, but unfortunately, the series went downhill for me. And I have heard so many good things about The Rosie Project – it is on my to-read list.

In reply to Literary Feline. Thanks that's so nice of you to say about Stella. She's all right luckily. I'm glad to hear you liked the Divergent movie. I'll have to check it out.

I am so glad Stella is okay! I can just imagine how nerve-wracking that must have been for you.

It sounds like you had a pleasant spring break! I would love a vacation right about now. Alas, I’ll be lucky if I can get away this summer at all. I just have to be content with my weekends for now. 🙂

I really enjoyed Divergent, both the book and the movie. I hadn’t expected to like them so much, which may be part of the reason why–low expectations. There was a lot that was hard to believe, but in the midst of reading, I didn’t notice–I was enjoying the story so much.

I haven’t read The Rosie Project, but it’s getting lots of good reviews from fellow bloggers. I am not sure yet if I want to read it.
