Win "Life with Maxie" by Diane Rehm
This week for Freebie Friday, you can win "Life with Maxie," by NPR talk show host Diane Rehm.
It's a heart-warming look at Rehm's life, through the story of Maxie, her long-haired Chihuahua. And the compact size makes it suitable as a gift or stocking-stuffer.
For a chance to win the book, leave a comment answering this question: What is your favorite book about an animal? I think I'd pick "Seabiscuit" by Laura Hillenbrand.
Meanwhile, congratulations to Cowgirl, who wins Sarah Palin's "America by Heart." She said she reads politcians' biographies "to learn more about the person, how they become successful. If they have an interesting story, it doesn't matter if I agree with their politics."

My favorite animal book is "Marley and Me". I had me both laughing and crying. I also like the book about Dewey, the library cat. "Seabiscuit" was good, too.

I like Spencer Quinn's Chet and Bernie mysteries, related by Bernie, the K-9 School flunkout of indeterminate breed.

I loved "Dewey," the story of a small-town library cat who was found in the book drop on a cold winter's night. It combined two of my favorite subjects, books and cats!
