So most of August was spent reading title related to dogs for La La in the Library and Jo's Book Blog #DogDaysOfSummer challenge. It was so much fun and I'm sure it's most of the reason why I managed to read so much. Let's take a look at the titles!
Manifest Recall: Alan Baxter 4/5
Atomic Frenchie: Tom Sniegoski & Tom McWeeney 5/5
Rattus New Yorkus: Hunter Shea 5/5
Action Lab: Vito Delsante 5/5
Creature: Hunter Shea 5/5
Peanuts - Where Beagles Dare: James Cooper 4/5
Drinking from the Trough: Mary Carlson 3/5
City Dog: Alison Pace 4/5
Hitting the Books: Jenn McKinlay 5/5
Dog Man: Dave Pilkey 3/5
Isosceles' Day: Kevin J. Meehan 5/5
Neverworld Wake: Marisha Pessl 4/5
The Mouth in the Dark: Tim Waggoner 4/5
So overall I read 13 things and really, it would be hard to pick a favorite this month. However, since nothing rated lower than a 3/5, I consider the month a rocking success.
As part of the Dog Days Challenge, Jo is donating a dollar for every book read to her local charity. I think this is an awesome idea and am proud to say, I read 9 books featuring dogs. "Hitting the Books" is a cozy where the MC has a loyal dog who often saves her life and Buttons the beagle is very prominent in "Creature" so I'm counting both of them.
How was your reading in August?
I love the sound of a beagle called Buttons! Looks like a really good reading month for you so lets hope September is as good!
ReplyDeleteHe's a perfect Buttons too!
Delete<3! My reading this month was a bit slow... I'm hoping to pick up the pace after the wedding :) Happy September!
ReplyDeleteYou've had so much on your plate I don't know how you found any time to read at all.
DeleteI’m glad your dog books were a success! I’d like to read more animal books, but I’m extremely picky about them. It’s hard to find ones I like.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I had to rule out any that looked sad after learning Booker T had to have surgery. All is good now though and there are so many more waiting to be read.
DeleteWow, what a great month! I love seeing so many 5 star reviews. I know you read dog related books every month, but you really read a lot!
ReplyDeleteOverall it was a really good month. I'm shocked but it was nice knowing it was adding money to charity.
DeleteYou did really good with your challenges! :)
ReplyDeleteNine dog books, yay! The rescue will be thankful for that money. Thanks again for joining us. I think I pick the gift card winner on the 8th. Good luck. ��✨
ReplyDeleteIt's so great of Jo to make a donation. It was such a fun month. Thanks for creating such fun tags!
DeleteThanks so much Barb for joining us for DDoS. Nine dog books is awesome!!!! I need to try reading some of those cozy mysteries especially the one that have dogs in them.
ReplyDeleteYou do. They are such fun relaxing reads.
DeleteGlad to hear you had fun with this challenge Barb! 13 books in a month is WOW! Good for you friend! a rocking success indeed. Love that there is a charity involved. Since I started blogging I had a projected like that in mind [Girl Power of course]! You know me!] but had never had the time to finish putting it together!
ReplyDeleteIt made it so much fun knowing each book read was helping out the animals.
DeleteYou had an awesome month! I think that it is great that money is going to be donated to an animal shelter.
