Jessica (jvblazejak) | 557 comments In honor of Penguin Awareness Day later this month, this week's theme revolves around my favorite animal: the penguin.


So....hopefully one of the following will work:

1. Read a book that is white, black, or a combination of both (can also have some orange, yellow, or red, but must be predominately black &/or white).

2. Has a P,E,N,G,U,I, or N in the title

3. Takes place in Pittsburgh or involves hockey

4. Is about penguins

5. Has a penguin on the cover

6. Books that take place in/near areas where penguins are found (Antarctica, South America, Galapagos, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Namibia, etc.),

7. Involves the numbers 1, 2, or 0 (Penguin Awareness Day) or 4,2,or 5 (World Penguin Day)

8. Involves one of the species in some way (King, Emporer, Adele, Rockhopper, etc.)

9. Relates to penguins in some way

Because I like to share my obsessions: Penguin World

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm thinking of a couple books but not decided yet. Does Perfume The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind and 180 Seconds by Jessica Park work?
