Was more about our relation to the animals, especially in light of the effects we have on their environment- but I enjoyed it. Easy to put down and pick up since the chapters are each a different animal.

Someone wants to know why her species doesn‘t show up in here.

I can see where you'd say that 🤣

Great read!

Not sure I "got it" but I got to use the cute new book mark my SiL made me!

Met requirements for Popsugar and @bookriot lists. Enjoyed/moved more than I anticipated.

Re telling of 'beauty and the beast' type story for YA. Read it to fill challenge categories.

Always ⚡️

I still remember debating about the end of this the day after it came out (because we spent all night finishing the book)

Umbridge is worse than Voldemort ... there... I said it.

Good thing about magic, it makes it easy to repair a castle after a dragon messes it up. Seriously though, this was a great book, they just left out so much for the movie!

Sirius Black, and Hagrid as a Professor, enough said.

Enemies of the heir...

Such a great series!

Was finally able to use my Jane Eyre temp tattoos with my girlfriends. It's the best feeling to have friends who are happy to nerd out and be goofy with you.

I didn't read Jane Eyre until a few years ago, but it now ranks as one of my favorites.

Baking cookies and reading Anna Karenina ✅Can't fall behind this late in the year.

Both lists had a graphic novel/comic type book requirement. A very sweet fast read.

Finished (in one straight sitting). Book you haven't read since high school and book published in the decade you were born. My first reread in a long time (ever?). Still as powerful/moving as I remember.

Loved, loved, loved this book! Greatly informative, but also humorous and, at times, moving. Do you eat/have/watch/catch/know fish? 🐟 If yes, you need to read this book.

Using my commute to fulfill 'a book written by a comedian' from POPSUGAR's 2016 Challenge, and 'audiobook that has won an Audie Award' from @bookriot 's 2016 Read Harder Challenge. So far - I love it!

So far, so good 😊

So glad I read this book! I will be passing it along to at least two different people. Highly recommend!

Sometimes you read Shakespeare, sometimes you go to things like "Drunk Shakespeare" in NYC.

"Une maison sans chat, c'est la vie sans soleil!

A house without a cat is like life without sunshine! - attributed by Julia Child to Therese Asche

Good to know things never change. 🙃

Excited to move on to this book after the last disaster. This meets the "book by a celebrity" and "food memoir" categories on my challenge lists.

It is amazing what finishing a book you don't like will do to your mood. I did not like this book, it seemed like he was venting all his frustrations and anger. There were a few paragraphs of insightful things, but there were also many paragraphs of name dropping (i.e., these are all the people that called me after I was in the hospital, followed by two literal paragraphs of names). Would not recommend unless you are a HUGE Nixon fan. 📷Baltimore

New bag from a friend (who knows me well). The whole text of Frankenstein (one of my favorite books) on a super nice tote bag!

The flow seemed off. I did learn a lot about the connections between historical figures I hadn't realized were connected.

"There is no doubt that greater interest is felt in the suffering of an elephant or a moose than in that of smaller game, though they suffer no more, but we may carry that idea down to our daily walks where we crush out the lives of insects by the thousands, but it can't be helped, and we give ourselves no trouble about it"

Not my usual, but it fulfills the "Political Memoir" category for POPSUGAR's 2016 Reading Challenge, and the "Read a book about politics, in your country or another (fiction or nonfiction)" category for the @bookriot Read Harder Challenge.
