2018 Dog Days of Summer Challenge - The Pups Pick My TBR! (And August Musts & Mights)



So La La and Jo are once again hosting this month-long summer event and it seems I have been stockpiling books to read for the past 6 months.  In order to make this a tad more interesting, and possible influenced by numerous "My _____ picks my TBR" videos on Booktube, I've decided to let Booker T and Cass pick my potential reads.  I decided not to confuse my boys too much, especially since Booker has been under the weather.  I've decided to let each book be represented by a different color tennis ball.  The book on the left is represented by an ORANGE tennis ball and the book on the right will be represented by a YELLOW one. That way the picks would be unbiased.  So on with the choices!  


So first up we have "Atomic Frenchie" vs "Lockjaw: Issues 1-4."  Both are so adorable I know I'd never be able to chose.  


WINNER: Booker T chose yellow- Atomic Frenchie

Next we are looking at a non-fiction race.  "Drinking From the Trough" is a memoir from a teacher turned vet and "A Marriage in Dog Years" is another memoir I've had for several months about a woman trying to save her dog and her marriage.


WINNER: Cass choose yellow - Drinking from the Trough

In the next battle, we have an adorable MG contemporary and a YA dystopian.  Both look really good.


WINNER: Booker T chose orange - Your Robot Dog Will Die

Next up is a contest between on of my favorite authors, Diane Moat, and a book I purchased pretty much strictly as a cover buy.


WINNER: Cass chose orange - Tomorrow

This upcoming battle includes two books I've had on my shelf for over a year (which is the case with A LOT of books). "Einstein" is about an alien that comes to Earth but decides to save a guys dog named Einstein and "The Last Dog on Earth" is about an orphan, and abandoned dog and the end of the Earth - see a theme here?


WINNER: Booker T chose orange - The Last Dog on Earth

And for the final battle, we have two mysteries.  You all know I love Renee George and her Smooshie books and I've had "Dog Days of Doom" FOREVER!


WINNER: Cass chose yellow - Dog Dish of Doom

So I'm actually hoping to read at least one a week, so this gives me plenty of choice.  I do know Atomic Frenchie will be the first one I pick up.  However, I still have some other books I need to get read so here's a brief showcase of some other "MIGHTS."
