[Casey]

Thanks for hosting - love this challenge! I torched my 2015 goal (Level 2), so am looking forward to going for Level 4!

[Casey]

Thanks! Most of the cozies I read are about animals, so it's an easy overlap. I also have a thing for kid's books soo.... *grin*

Yet another title to tempt my appetite!"

Haha, I actually had to put this down one night because it was making me hungry! Love the series though!

#7 Secondhand Spirits

This one took me a while to get into...it's very "preachy" in the beginning, and the characters aren't very likeable. Oscar the familiar was easily the most interesting part - reminded me of Dobby from Harry Potter.

Reaching a bit here, but it does have an animal in the title...

This was so different from anything I've ever read, and highly entertaining.

Serendipity! I have this one ..."

Oh, can't wait to see what you think!

Love love love this series!

[Casey]

These two had nothing to do with animals, but I'm throwing them in for their covers.

#13 My first of his books, and I really enjoyed it

#14 My first of hers also - for the most part I liked this a lot, though at times it felt like there was a different author writing parts of it

And then this one actually was about animals...

I'm intrigued! I noticed it's number 5 - do you need to read them in order, or does it work as a stand-alone?

[Casey]

Dagny wrote: "That's a tough call. As far as the plot and mystery go, it works fine ..."

Hmm, good to know. I really hate reading books out of order, so I'll probably just add the first to my list. Thanks!

Dagny wrote: "They're all available free. The first three in numerous formats ..."

Awesome, thank you!!

There's a little terrier named Charlemagne who plays a pretty important role in this one. Love her books!

I liked it well enough, Casey, although I think not as much as you did. Charley's parts were great-especially when he..."

I think I liked this more for the travelogue than anything else - I'd have liked more Charley though!

#18
These are such a guilty pleasure.

#19
Read this for book club, and really enjoyed it.

#20
This book wrecked me. It's a gorgeous, raw story that left me gutted and thankful. I don't ever want to read it again, but I'm glad I did.

#21
As always, Laura Morrigan does it again! This series is so much fun, and I love the idea - that Grace can communicate with animals. Wish there'd been more Moss in this one though!!

And that's Level 4!!! I'm going to keep posting here, cause it's fun :)
