For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
What animal-related books have you read? Which do you love? Do you have a favorite literary dog? (Snoopy, anyone?)
I don't own a pet. But I do love dogs. My brother has one and I love her to bits! Amongst literary dogs, I love Snowy! He and Tintin (created by Herge) are inseparable! Here are a few pics:

I have never read Tintin. I have seen it. I did not know the dog's name. Thanks!
Hi Gautami,
Several yrs ago I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon. Excellent read! Even more yrs ago, I read Jack London's Call of the Wild. Oh, Snoopy form Peanuts. YES! How I miss that comicstrip.
I adore dogs, too and grew up with dogs and owned one as an adult on my own. I"m glad you ca play w/ your brother's doggie.
I still paint pet portrait commissions. (AN album will be going up on FB, once I get the hang of the ins and outs of FB.) I haven't read an animal related book recently. The two on my list are for upcoming real life book clubs.
I haven't read Tintin, but I've seen it. Here is my BTT.
Snowy is a great choice. I loved Tintin. http://unicornslaststand.blogspot.com/2011/07/dog-days.html
I have not heard of this one before. My BTT answer.
Great choice! Dog books are always so touching, and great post! :)
Here's mine:

We love Tintin's dog too! As a matter of fact, our dog was named for her.
Didn't know Tintin's dog was called Snowy in English. In the Swedish translation it's Milou, I think that's the original

I've heard of Tintin, but always thought that was the dog's name. Oops! :)
How could I forget Snowy! And Idefix from Asterix.
I also love dogs but I rent so I'm not allowed to have one.
Snowy looks like a great dog. Good choice!
How very cute! I honestly couldn't live without at least one dog. Don't know how you do it!
