Weekend Reads: Dog Days

Woof! We are soundly in the “Dog Days of Summer,” defined as “hot, sultry summer weather; also, a period of stagnation…the period between early July and early September, when Sirius, the so-called Dog Star, rises and sets with the sun.” (Merriam-Webster). You’ll excuse us if we are playing a little fast and loose with the theme as we invite you to stave off stagnation with the following acclaimed books (that may or may not have actual dogs in them): Continue reading →

In fact, most UFO sightings are debunked as tricks of light, weather balloons, etc… What we would never debunk is how fascinating it is to contemplate the possibility of life on other planets.

The genius storyline is a rom com meets murder and hits home for anyone with nosy family members. I think this genre has become so much more than dark suspense, but full of well-rounded stories that are beautifully written and even… funny.
