Dog Days of Summer Celebration
TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, what you will be reading next from your TBR pile, and why.

I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!
ONE BOOK A WEEK
I'm still trying to keep my reading down to one book a week
•
For the last two years I have been trying to cut my reading back to one book a week, but this year I have regularly been four to seven books behind that goal. Life is a fickle thing

I'm so happy I finally finished this book after I set it aside ten years ago! It's fabulous. This is my fifth book read from the NYT 100 Best Books of the 21st Century list. Even though I started it in July, I read most of it in August and it has dogs in it, so I am counting it as my first Dog Days of Summer book.
ADULT FICTION
STANDALONE
MAN'S BEST FRIEND
Published 2013 - Edelweiss ARC

This book was horrible. The author should be slapped for calling himself an author. It was my second Dog Days of Summer read.
MIDDLE GRADE
CLASSIC
PENROD SERIES ONE
A BOY AND HIS DOG
Published 1914 - Own Ebook
•
Penrod's adventures became a little too ridiculous for me. This was my third and last book for Dog Days of Summer.

DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY DYNAMICS
Published 2011 - Own Ebook
•
This is a cautionary tale of what happens when children are left unsupervised and unguided in life. It was my sixth NYT 100 Best Books of the 21st Century title read.

This is my seventh NYT Best 100 Books of the 21st Century title. It is not reading for the faint hearted; that's for sure. It probably needs every trigger warning known to man.

I read three books with dogs in them during August, so I will be donating $15 to one of my local shelters, The Broome County Humane Society. Which I will be doing a Books & Beasties post about soon.
