Unfortunately, I Have a Bone to Pick with This Debut

Molly Madison and her dog have relocated to Pier Point, California, and she is looking forward to starting all over. However, she has not completely unpacked before a dog she is dog sitting uncovered a hand in the sand of a nearby beach. With the police looking at Molly as a suspect because of a scandal in her past, she has to figure out what is going on. But if she doesn’t even know her neighbors, can she do that?

I picked up this book because of the Southern California setting, and I loved that. Even though Pier Point is fictional, I could easily picture it. I also enjoyed meeting Molly and the rest of her neighbors. They are slightly eccentric, but not so over the top that they didn’t still feel real. There are plenty of dogs, and they are equally charming. Unfortunately, the pacing of the book is very off. It was slow in the beginning, focusing on Molly settling into her new life. The ending, while logical, was rushed. That kept me from fully enjoying what was a promising debut.

Best Werewolf Movie Of All Time

Containing one of my favorite movie moments of all time (the hammer scene), and holding its own with a unique concept and really well done elements, Dog Soldiers wins a spot in my heart. It has re-watch value and a really solid story line.

Family-friendly animal movie

This movie is great if you are looking for a family movie featuring animals. It’s the heartwarming story about how a dog tries to save a penguin colony. There are a few places where physical comedy was used. To me it seemed a little forced and out of place.

I cried so much

It was an emotional rollercoaster. Most of the times I cried and laughed at the same it. It was the most touching dog story I've ever read. I started reading it the summer I got my first puppy so it was double emotional for me, but every teardrop was worth it.
