Dog Man Unleashed is about dog man being the worst dog in the beginning and the best dog at the end. There is also a villain called Petey that made a flat paper copy of himself, which turned to life. This all happened on Chief's birthday.

WOW! This was a very fast read: I finished the book within 2 hours. Great thriller book that involves the paranormal as well. You really start to feel connected to the main character. It was not like anything I had read prior. Great young adult read.

This was a quick read. I listened to the the audio version on Overdrive. Peter gives you some different ways to tackle downsizing to get by emotional attachment to items in your own house or in someone else house. I like that he touched on the importance of not taking in things from family members just because they're downsizing doesn't mean they should give it to you.

Between The World And Me

Over all it was a good book. Opens your brain up and makes you think.

Without A Trace
by Colleen Coble

book cover


I love this book. The story was interesting, about a women named Bree who spent her days searching for the wreckage that claimed the lives of her husband and son. Her occupation is K9 search and rescue with her dog Sampson. The book is an easy read and uplifting. Colleen Coble is a Christian author, which I didn't know til I was halfway through the first book.

Close To The Bone
by Kendra Elliot

book cover


Its a novella, which means it is a shorter book. It's a quick read, not an in-depth story. I like the characters but it wasn't long enough to fully develop them. After reading the book, I did go see that there are a few more books in the series. So maybe that is a way to get to know more of the characters. I did like the setting and the background that the author set up for the books. I would recommend it.
