My Life in Dog Years Book Review by Krish

Have you been a dog lover your whole life? Then you should check out My Life in Dog Years. My Life in Dog Years is a memoir about Gary Paulsen's life through his relationship with his dogs. Each dog represents a chapter in Gary Paulsen's life from his childhood to dog sledding in Alaska. With many heartwarming tales about his dogs, this book explores the bond between a man and his dog.

I always love dogs and that is one of the main reasons I loved this book. I liked learning about the different dogs he had and about them. The author also does a good job of giving a human type of feeling to the dogs with each one having a different and unique type of personality. Another thing I liked about this book is the way the dogs represent how Paulsen has evolved as a character. I also think that this book would interest people who don’t love dogs. The main reason for this is that this book talks a lot about loyalty, life, love, and companionship, and you may enjoy reading about that regardless of dogs. This book may also give people who don’t like dogs a different perspective about dogs and may even cause them to like dogs. Overall, I would give this book a 10/10 and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good book to read.

    Hey Krish. I also love dogs a lot but unfortunately have never owned one (😭). I also loved Gary Paulsen's books (especially Hatchet) and would love to read this book sometime. He's lucky he has plural dogs and I wish he would give me one.
    Good job Krish.

    I haven't read a book devoted to dogs before, this seems like a very interesting read. Thanks for the review!

Book Review on Daughter of the Deep by Robenas Tadesse

Image
I’m sure that the majority of you reading this are familiar with the author Rick Riordan, most famously known for writing the Percy Jackson series. In 2021 Rick Riordan released a refreshing new book, completely outside of the Percy Jackson universe. Daughter of the Deep is the first series book (Please, Rick Riordan, please release book two very soon). Daughter of the Deep occurs in a near-future world where climate change has deeply affected the environment. This novel is heavily inspired by Jules Verne's classic "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" while also a compelling exploration of marine biology, environmental conservation, and some pretty imaginative technology. The story starts with Ana Dakkar, a freshman at Harding-Pencroft Academy receiving a cryptic message from her father, the renowned but long-lost Captain Nemo Dakkar. Harding-Pencroft Academy is a five-year high school that produces the best marine specialists in the world. The message tells her to search for ...

Struggling to Finish Books? Here's some tips. (Blog by Daniel Lee)

                After reading Mateo's blog, "Books I Haven't Finished...yet," I found myself pondering about the countless number of books that I haven't finished. For me, I usually find myself not finishing books because I lose interest, or I can't get engaged in a book. So, for my blog, I'm going to write about some tips that I've personally used to keep myself consistently engaged in the books I read. Hopefully these tips may be able help out others in the future.   1. Make reading a routine in your daily life               This may seem incredibly obvious to many, but for many readers who are starting to build a habit in reading, this may sound daunting. It was for me at least. Making reading a routine sounded unnecessary to me because I always looked at reading as a thing I had to do when my dad made me. But when I started to read every day, I found...

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief: Book and Show

  Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief  By Krishna Jaswal I’m sure many of you have heard about the book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Many kids read it in elementary or middle school. For me personally, Percy Jackson was my childhood. I remember being introduced to the book right before COVID hit and I read all the books throughout the pandemic. I’m sure some of you have also heard about the new Percy Jackson series on Disney+. In this blog, I will dive a little deeper into both the book and the show as well as the differences between them! Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series . The book is set in the United States (they go on an adventure so the city or state does change often) and involves lots of Greek mythology. The book starts with Percy, a 12-year-old boy who starts to learn more about himself. Percy finds out that his father is Poseidon, one of the big gods of Greek mythology. To make things e...
