MENAGERIE
Duration: October 1-31, 2018

Readers love animals, and this is evident by their popularity in and on books. For this challenge, you will create your own menagerie or animal sanctuary by reading books about animals or those that feature animals in the title, cover, or as an essential part of the story. As a bonus, utilizing our yearly and monthly themes, you may also include extinct and imaginary animals.

Tip: Show us your collection of animals by using the cover option under the add book/author link.

Congratulations on completing your challenge Ziggy and also SarahKat for completing your first book. Hope you both enjoyed your reading.

Update to message 18: Fantastic Mr Fox. Animals added to our Menagerie foxes, badgers, rabbits, moles, weasels and a rat. My son couldn't stop laughing at certain parts of this story, especially when I did the voice of the rat.

Update to message 3 I finished Fever Dream there was a horse on the cover. The book was, confusing, to say the least but there was also talk of worms, ducks, dogs, and horses.

Update to message 18
Book 2 finished: The Good Mother by Sinéad Moriarty. Both horse and butterfly were major parts of a sad storyline
