Since I was tiny I have adored animals. So when I discovered the delights of the Animal Ark books, written by author Lucy Daniels, I simply had to have them all! One I had in my collection was Husky in a Hut.
The first thing you notice with a book is the cover so it is important that it makes a good first impression. Now although I adore dogs, I've always been a little scared by huskies, but thankfully the cover of this book is quite pretty and the picture of the husky does not make me walk away.

Counter-Strike: Source is a very popular first-person-shooter which has been admired by many millions of people world-wide since its release - Personaly, I dont see the 'hoohar' of this game.
Despite this games ever-lengthening age it doesn't seem to be losing too many players to the newer, more hard-hitting games out there (such as Fear, Crysis and Call of Duty). Perhaps this is due to Counter-Strikes emence all-online capabillity.
