This calendar month the Book Club is ii years old.
I started the majority gild inward Nov 2016, intending it to last a pocket-size group. Within a yoke of days several hundred people had joined in addition to I stopped accepting novel members because I did non desire the grouping to croak equally good big.
The get-go majority was The Trainable Cat past times John Bradshaw in addition to Sarah Ellis, which remains i of my favourites of all the ones we’ve read. Other personal favourites include Being a Dog past times Alexandra Horowitz, How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) past times Lee Dugatkin in addition to Lyudmila Trut, in addition to Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat past times Hal Herzog. I was also pleased to re-read Plenty inward Life Is Free past times Kathy Sdao with the majority club.
But it's actually difficult to pick favourites because I've enjoyed them all, in addition to every unmarried i is good worth reading! Rather than shout them all here, you lot tin laissez passer on the axe run into a sum listing inward the Animal Book Club Amazon store or on the book gild page. If you're looking for something animal-related to read, it's a dandy house to uncovering a expert book.
Members pick out the books, in addition to they are ever fantabulous choices! This month’s majority is Chaser: Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows a Thousand Words past times John W. Pilley with Hilary Hinzmann.
I’ve been incredibly lucky to interview the authors of simply about of the majority gild choices, which has been a existent accolade (and dandy fun too). You tin laissez passer on the axe read those interviews here:
- Dr. Sarah Ellis (The Trainable Cat)
- Dr. Lee Dugatkin (How to Tame a Fox)
- Dr. Marty Becker (From Fearful to Fear Free)
- Prof. Hal Herzog (Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat)
- Dr. Marc Bekoff (Canine Confidential)
The majority gild reads x books a year, taking Jan in addition to July off. If you’d similar to join, follow the instructions on the majority gild page.
I also late started a Facebook grouping called Animal Books for those who would similar to chat most books, portion tidings most novel titles in addition to interviews with authors, without the commitment to read a majority a month. The grouping shares the same commitment to humane in addition to form handling of animals (and people) equally the Animal Book Club.
I ever ship service the majority of the calendar month to this blog, in addition to many people read the books amongst the majority gild too.
Along the way, I’ve had fun choosing simply about squeamish photos for the announcements of each month’s book. But since it gets expensive to croak on buying stock photos, I’ve switched to a measure frame that uses simply about of my favourite images.
Would you lot similar a sneak preview of what we’re reading side past times side month? It volition last The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think past times Brian Hare in addition to Vanessa Woods.
