Hello all! So much to say: -With the social media shakeups happening now we will be pivoting to this as one of our primaries. -Host Wren is very close to done with their certification program and we plan on getting our new season rolling soon as a result! -We have a new dog… she already ate a book😅

A small black and white puppy sits on the floor looking at the camera, where a human hand holds a hardcover book that has been chewed on. The puppy appears to look completely innocent. The chew marks could not possibly been her fault.

Happy July! Today is host @pikorito.bsky.social ‘s birthday! Also here are the doggos on a recent adventure. Some updates: Recording still underway for season three, exciting books from our guest content coming! Podcast doggo Stella had a small bit of cancer, but surgery and treatment went well!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 27/05/2024

Season Three update! Regular recording picks back up next week! We have two really awesome guest episodes recorded already, where some friends introduce us to books neither of us have read! First up: 🐭🏰 Release TBA!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 10/04/2024

Stella felt largely like we did about James and the Giant Peach, and got kinda sleepy. Season Two finale on this book, book censorship in general, and how the podcast is going is out now! Stay tuned for updates on season three!

There have been a lot of illustrations to go along with James and the Giant Peach over the years, but my favorite by far are the Quentin Blake ones. Our Season Two finale episode on this book is out on all the podcast places! (At least the ones that are left… they are dropping like flies, sadly.)

021

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 27/03/2024

We are here! We made it! Our season two finale episode, where we revisit a book we both liked as kids to evaluate how our memories hold up! Should we still be using the giant peach rating system? How does the team feel about the podcast 25 episodes in? Find us on your podcast provider of choice!

Season Two Finale out this Wednesday! The final word on peaches!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 19/03/2024

Next week is our Season Two finale! We revisit James and the Giant Peach, talk about the podcast and how it’s been going, and do a think about if we should keep going with the peaches as our rating system. But that’s next week. For now, check out what I found on YouTube! youtu.be/BPnoeh-wnec?...

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 18/03/2024

Some of the illustrations from the original run of “Meet Samantha.” In the most recent repackage there were no illustrations at all, which I feel was definitely a bad call. You can catch our discussion on the American Girl Samantha books on Episode 24!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 15/03/2024

In case you missed it! Episode Twenty-Four is out this week! We take a trip back to glossy sterilized 1904 with the American Girl Samantha series! Wherever you get your podcasts.

Very important takeaways from reading the “American Girls” Samantha books. Our discussion is out now in Episode 24 of My Dog Ate My Book Report!

Pink text on a plain background which reads:

Brandon:
But all of that is just stated in conversation or in the narration internal to Samantha’s mind. They don’t factor into anything that happens.

There aren’t times when Samantha does something like drive a car.

That would have been rad though, I would love “Samantha and Nellie steal a car” That would have been awesome.

Wren:
She’s only nine.

Brandon:
That’s what makes it awesome!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 14/03/2024

As mentioned in the episode… the covers of this book vary WILDLY with its various editions. The pink dress one is a mess.

This week on my podcast we revisited a series I had mostly forgotten, so I was excited to see how it holds up. Results were pretty mixed ultimately… sterilized history but with a little hint of the reality underneath. We read the Samantha American Girl books over at @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social!

021

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 13/03/2024

The new and “improved” cover we mention in today’s episode. Why does her neck look broken? Why does it look like a stock photo? Who knows. Redoing classic book covers almost always seems to be a mistake. Thoughts?

March Schedule! This week we explore the glossy kid history book “Meet Samantha” and for our season two finale we evaluate a favorite that both of us have read to see how it holds up with “James and the Giant Peach!” (And if we should still be basing our rating system on it! Eep!)

In case you missed our most recent episode! Brandon introduced Wren to Flatland, a truly bizarre book which makes one think, in sometimes hard to really comprehend ways. Our discussion about the book is contained within the dimension of the 23rd episode!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 01/03/2024

Flatland was a ride. Episode twenty three: our dive into this tale of multiple dimensions! On your podcast provider of choice!

Photo of text that reads: But then also right after that he’s like,
“No, I’ll show you! I’ll show you that there’s two different dimensions! I’m going to go backwards and forward.”

And then… He goes backwards so much that the king can’t see him anymore.

And then the king yells out:
“She is vanished! She is dead!”

And then I wrote “things in Lineland have no object permanence”

Using the 20 minute of work, five minute break, repeat cycle method to get the rest of season two edited! Fighting off a winter cold with a giant cup-mug-bowl of tomato soup. Figured I would update! Hope everyone’s holiday season was great and that winter is treating everyone ok. -Wren

This weeks episode brought to you by a sleepy Stella! Sideways stories from Wayside School is a Brandon pick, and we had a grand time checking out this absurdist kids humor book. Will make you think differently about apples probably! 🍎

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 30/11/2023

Stealing a photo! Ha! Episode Twenty features this fancy fella from Octobers Children Podcast as we talk about a book that was *literally* required reading in our Maine upbringing, “Lost on a Mountain in Maine.” Derrick and Wren revisit it, while hoisting it upon Brandon for the first time!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 17/11/2023

Episode Twenty is here! And somewhat appropriately the photo we have of Inari with the book is from inside an RV. We invited Derrick from Octobers Children Podcast to come revisit the Maine true story “classic?” by Don Fendler: Lost on a Mountain in Maine! Boy Howdy! Twenty whole episodes!

My Dog Ate My Book Report @dogatemybookreport.bsky.social · 02/11/2023

Episode Nineteen! Little House and the Libertarian agenda. Ahem. I mean “in the big woods.” This was a Wren pick, which got expedited because of a story they heard on NPR about Rose Wilder and the reason these books were written. It’s kind of wild. Out now!
