It's time for the 2023 What An Animal Reading Challenge!

The challenge will begin on January 1, 2023 and end on December 31, 2023.

The rules are really simple.

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, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

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 "2023 Challenge Participants" and create your own folder to list your progress throughout the year.

Alberta Ross (authorshow4506833alberta_ross) | 7 comments can the book be about animals in general or does it have to be one specific type of animal?

Animals in general are fine. It doesn't have to be about a specific type of animal. It can even be a ficticious animal.

Alberta Ross (authorshow4506833alberta_ross) | 7 comments just finished Animals in Translation - animal specialist with autisim who studies and writes animals with a different viewpoint because of her autisim - a lot I sort of knew after a lifetime of pet owning and keen interest in animal life but there was a lot that was new and gave me a lot to think about - a serious book but it found it very worth reading- I also learnt more about autisim which I hadn't really taken on board before.
