Dogs and Goddesses
When I first read Dogs and Goddesses by Jennifer Crusie, Anne Stuart and Lani Diane Rich, I immediately thought: Picspam Time! Pretty much so I could spam you all with pictures of pretty people and dogs. That being said, this is a very cute book. While there are some sections that are better than others, it's ideal for that rainy day when you want to read about dogs. That can talk. :D
Dogs and Goddesses
Abby has just arrived in Summerville, Ohio, with her placid Newfoundland, Bowser. She’s reluctantly inherited her grandmother’s coffee shop, but it’s not long before she’s brewing up trouble in the form of magical baked goods and steaming up her life with an exasperating college professor.
And then there’s Daisy, a web code writer, and her hyperactive Jack Russell, Bailey. Her tightly-wound world spins out of control when she discovers the chaos within and meets a mysterious dog trainer whose teaching style is definitely hands-on.
Finally there’s Shar, professor of ancient history at Summerville College, who wakes up one morning to find her neurotic dachshund, Wolfie, snarling at an implacable god sitting at her kitchen table, the first thing in her life she hasn’t been able to footnote.
What on earth is going on in this unearthly little town? It’s up to Abby, Daisy, and Shar to find out before an ancient goddess takes over Southern Ohio, and they all end up in the apocalyptic doghouse…
The Ghostbusters Theory of Dating: if somebody asks you if you’re a god, say yes.
Shar (Mary McDonnell): "Wonderful. Magic tonic and divine sex, that’s how they’re going to rule the world."
Wolfie: "I’m feeling kinda invincible."
Milton: "Sonofabitch."
Sam-ulat (Chris Hemsworth): "Gilgamesh. That loser."
(I'll be totally honest, I just want to see Mary and Chris make out. A lot.)
Abby (Emily Blunt): "I’m not going to go on the lam over a few cookies, Professor."
Bowser: "No cookies. They’re wasted on me. I’ve been fixed."
Christopher (Bradley Cooper - remember when he played Will Tippin?): "I hear voices; you hear dogs. We’ll work it out. Maybe get a discount on therapy."
Daisy (Kaley Cuoco): “It’s Noah, From class. He’s completely wrong for me, but he gave me this piggyback ride and I almost had...fun. It’s been so long since I had fun.”
Bailey: "Daisy happy!"
Noah (Eddie Cahill): “Half the fun in life is doing things that are childish and embarrassing.”
Kammani (Catherine Zeta-Jones): "I hate this world."
Mina (Alia Shawkat): “I will not fail you, O Goddess, for I am your handmaiden, Death.”

YOU HAD ME RIGHT THERE. I haven't read this book yet, but your casting is awesome and the quotes are hilarious, so I'm going to get on that. Dogs and romances are always great. :D
