The Adventures of Zelda Pug and Peach

The Adventures of Zelda: Pug and Peach by Kristen Otte

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Like most pet parents I have often wondered what my dogs' internal monologues are like. Kristen Otte captures this sentiment perfectly. It's a real treat to be a part of this spunky little pug's adventures. In volume three we get to know Zelda's new sister Peach who is just as spirited. Together the furry duo wage a crusade against the neighborhood squirrels and "help out" the smaller humans with an Easter egg hunt. They even have a harrowing encounter with the Easter bunny. Find out what it's like for a dog to navigate a "polar vortex." This book is incredibly endearing and suitable for people/dogs of all ages. I guarantee you'll have a smile on your face while reading it!

I Write Like. Analyze your writing!

I thought this was a quiz at first. Then I figured out they simply analyze personal text and give you a famous author that it resembles. I came across this site because Joe Hill posted something about it. Apparently, he "writes" like Stephen King. For that one person still living under a rock, Joe Hill IS Stephen King's son. I find it very interesting because I don't think he writes anything like King. As far as I'm concerned, their similarities lie within the same genre and that's about it. As a horror aficionado, I am not crazy about King's books (his movie adaptations are great). Hill, however, is one of my favorite writers. His text is so vivid it nearly comes to life. As we speak, I am in the midst of his latest novel, NOS4A2 and it is awesome.

Anyway, I had a few of my old blog posts analyzed (twice) and both times I came up with David Foster Wallace. Here is my confession: I have never read Infinite Jest. I know, I know. I don't have anything against it. It's just that the people who usually reference Infinite Jest are usually pretentious assholes. Maybe I should read it; it just seems like such a cliche. I actually don't know much about Wallace except that he committed suicide after a long history of depression. I hope that's not a bad omen. I guess I have to add Infinite Jest to my must read list.
