The Animal Book Club is three years old this month, which means we’re on book number 31: Beyond the Brain: How Body and Environment Shape Animal and Human Minds
by Louise Barrett.
We’ve read some great books over the last year, from Our Dogs, Ourselves: The Story of a Singular Bond
by Alexandra Horowitz to What the Dog Knows: Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World
by Cat Warren, Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet
by John Bradshaw and The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think
by Brian Hare. (for a full list, see the animal book club page).
This past year I’ve also been honoured to interview some amazing authors about their books:
On the blog, I shared my summer reading list while others shared the animal book that made a difference to them (part 1 and part 2).
If you like chatting about animal books but don’t want the commitment of reading every month, you might like the Animal Books facebook group (make sure you answer the question if you want to join). New members of the book club are welcome at any time, but must commit to reading and commenting on 7 of the 10 books each year.
