admin Leave a comment

Em from the Shelf Aware podcast is back to help launch the 2023 All The Good Dogs Reading Challenge by tackling our first book of the year and its movie counterpart – A Dog’s Way Home

Did we take on too much watching a movie AND reading a book? Or are we just filled with a lot of opinions?

Anna from the Shelf Aware Podcast is back for another book club and this time, its Kate’s ultimate genre, gay (M/M) romance with dogs!

How to Howl at the Moon by Eli Easton, features dog shifters! We debate the lore, what works for us, and what doesn’t. And of course the romance! Is Sheriff Lance a great romantic hero? Is he better as a human or as his dog Chance? And does his romantic interest Tim, deserve better? 

We also talk about rating and reviewing books and how we hold tightly onto giving out those 5 stars.

This time we are tackling the dog mystery genre, which was much bigger than either of us expected and boy did we pick an interesting one! Choices were made with Paw Enforcement by Diane Kelly and not all of them were good. Will be be able to find anything redeeming when everyone, including the dog, are just so damn angry? You’ll need to listen to find out!

Author Steven Rowley joins the show this week to talk about his best selling novel, Lily and the Octopus, his latest novel The Editor, but mostly importantly, DOGS. 

We talk about how Steven’s debut novel, dedicated to his life with his beloved dog Lily, became a huge success and is now being made into a feature film. We also discuss the adventures in the book and how difficult the sadder moments were to write.

Not forgetting the new love of Steven’s life, Tilda, his rescue terrier, who often wonders when she’ll get a book of her own.

Episode 102: Arty and Book Club

admin Leave a comment

 

Its the third anniversary and Anna from Shelf Aware joins the show to talk about her very good boy Arty and also a book!

We are dissecting A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World by C.A. Fletcher and spoilers are abound. If you don’t want to know what happens in this one before you read it (and we strongly recommend you don’t) Go! Read it before you tune in!

But if you do, you will be delighted to to hear our uneducated theories on electricity and technology, weird doggy match-making, and whether we would be hoarders or preservers for the future.
