UPDATE APRIL 8, 2009 – CHALLENGE COMPLETED!!!
Thanks very much to Kristi for hosting this fun challenge. I found out that I had quite a few books which met the requirements for this one. My favorite read was a tie between: The Mechanics of Falling (a collection of short stories), In Hovering Flight, and Out Stealing Horses…all of which were written by new-to-me authors.
I am going to join this one too. I am pretty sure I have six animal books around here somewhere.
Kristi: You’re welcome – I’m looking forward to this one…and most of these books are for other challenges too, so it works out great. I know what you mean about the TBR mountain!!!
Jill: It should be fun! Glad you’re joining!
I will be joining this challenge too. I have lots of books on my TBR that will fit. It’s just a bit too soon for me to read an animal book right now. Sigh.
It’s perfect, I tell you, just perfect.
I’m reading Curious Dog too! Loved Marley and Me!
Lizzie: I appreciate you wanting to market this book – I actually would prefer, however, that you not use my site as a way to self-promote. Thanks.
Nise: I have had Curious Dog on my shelf for far too long! And also I bought Marley and Me when it first came out…don’t know why I haven’t read it yet!
I can highly recommend Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night.
Kristen Bakis wrote this amazing book called The Lives of the Monster Dogs. She never wrote anything else, and I just lucked out to find it on a remainder table one day. It’s since become one of my all time favorites.
CBJames: Thanks for the recommendation on the Bakis book…I’ll have to check it out!
