What An Animal Reading Challenge discussion

We're coming up to a new year, which means a new challenge. Here are the details for the 2017 Reading Challenge.

The challenge will begin on January 1, 2017 and end on December 31, 2017.

The rules are really simple. I am changing it up a little bit, though...read on...

1. Any book read for this challenge has to have an animal that plays a major role in the book (which could be fiction or non-fiction.)
 It also counts if a main character is (or turns into) an animal (define that however you'd like). In the past, books would qualify if an animal is in the title or on the cover, but that alone no longer qualifies. This challenge is for books related to animals and just because they are in the title or on the cover, doesn't mean it's about an animal.

These are the levels.

Level 1 - Read 6 books

Level 2 - Read 7-12

Level 3 - Read 13-20

Level 4 - Read 21 or more

2. The animal can be any type of animal (real or fictitious)--dog, cat, monkey, wolf, snake, insect, hedgehog, aardvark...dragon, mermaid, centaur, vampire, werewolf...you get the idea...


3. Challenge runs from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

4. Books can be fiction or nonfiction.

5. You may make a list of books at the beginning of the challenge or you can just list them as you find them.


6. Book titles may be swapped out at anytime (assuming you made a list to begin with).


7. Crossovers with other challenges are permitted and encouraged.


8. Books can be in any format of your choice (print, audio, ebooks)

9. To join, go to the folder with the level you want to join and create your own folder to list your progress throughout the year.

That's it! Enjoy and have fun!

Thank you for the invite, Yvonne!

Thanks for the invite. Now have to decide the level.

Thank you, Ivonne! Although I don't update it a lot, I dutifully follow the challenge the year along.

Thanks everyone for coming back for more :) I hope we all discover many new animal books.

BTW, I haven't read about the cover but.... I read a lot of paranormal romance and UF, so...

Do dustbunnies as animal? ;) And no, not the ones under the bed...

What kind of dustbunnies do you mean? I only know the ones under the bed and those wouldn't couldn't :)

The ones which appear in this book series: After Glow ;-) When you see their second pair de eyes is too late :-D (They're an alien animal race which are the MC companion in the books).

I guess an alien animal race will work :)
