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?...

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!

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!

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

I feel like I heard that he became a hardcore Scientologist and started inserting that into his books? I should google it and find out. I’ve just been so hesitant to dig in.

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!

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?

I don’t know. Herbert starts getting really weird politically and I dropped off too. I don’t feel like I’m missing much.
