What Animal Are You? (Spell-it-Out)

[Lisarenee]

This challenge is inspired by one of my favorite authors, Lisa Kleypas. She has a character in her Hathaway series call Beatrix (aka Bea) who loves animals. She goes so far as to use animals to describe the personalities of people. So find out what your inner animal is so you can participate in this challenge. And don't forget to read. Go to:
http://www.lisakleypas.com/quiz/quiza...

So here is the complete list of animals:
Lion
Pony
Rabbit
Hen
Fox
Hedgehog
Ferret
Cat
Swan

How do I play?
Step 1 - Answer the Quiz and find out what animal you are.
Step 2 - Read your animal by spelling it's name out and using the letters to pick your books. The letter must correspond to the first letter of a title, the first letter of an author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first or last name from the book. Just let us know what the link to the letter is if it's not obvious. And, no, you don't need to read a book by Lisa Kleypas, but you can if you want to.

Can I Have an example please?
I'm a Swan. :) So I might read:

S - Seduce me at Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas
W - Ward, JR (author - aka Jessica Bird) The Billionaire Next Door
A - Amelia (character) in Mine till Midnight
N - Never Cry Werewolf by Heather Davis

Seduce Me at Sunrise begins with S so that is the link to S,

Ward is the author's last name and it begins with W so that is the link to W.

Amelia is a character of the book Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas. Since Amelia starts with A that is the link to A.

Never Cry Wolf starts with N so that is the link to N.

I'm a rabbit!

[Lisarenee]

Then read a rabbit. I feel sorry for all those Hedgehogs. They got the longest Animal to read.

[Lisarenee]

Irene, It just hit me. You're a Reader Rabbit. LOL

[Lisa]

I'm also a rabbit.

[Irene]

Does one need to do it in order? I'm in the middle of Bitten and I'm thinking of starting The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo. That would take care of two of the letters.

[Lisarenee]

You may start with whatever letter you like. The order is not important.

[Irene]

I'll be reading Blood Law later on this month- oooh there's another B! Thank the powers that be Rabbit has easy letters.

[Sashana]

I'll be a Hedgehog. I don't even know what a hedgehog is.

[Lisarenee]

But did you take the quiz and make sure you're a hedgehog?

[Lisarenee]

Sashana, Here's what a hedgehog looks like:

[Sashana]

Wow, I'm considering another animal. That hedgehog was not easy on the eyes.

[Lisarenee]

Sashana, Did you take the quiz?

[Sashana]

According to Beatrix I'm a rabbit, but I think I'll read like the Lion that I am :D

[Irene]

ooh Lion.. fewer books to get through in a month, I'll give that but hmmm it'll be interesting to see the titles you come up with.

lol Alice. When I'm 60 I hope to be a fox too. And yes you can post as you go,

[Lisarenee]

Too funny!

[Kristine]

I'm a rabbit.

[Sheila]

OMG I just took the quiz and eek - I'm a Hedgehog!

So how long does my poor Hedgehog have to read those 8 books?

[Sashana]

lol Sheila. Hedgehogs are such ugly animals

[Sheila]

now, now be nice :) Who wouldn't love this.

[Lisarenee]

If you look at message 11 I posted a link to a picture of a Hedgehog from National Geographic. She was not pleased. lol

[Sheila]

I think they must be close to sloths that like nothing better than being left alone to read their books.

[Lisarenee]

I'm with you Sheila. I think they're cute. My grandparents were German and apparently they had a popular series with a hedgehog in it. My mom said they were the equivalent of Mickey Mouse. I've always adored them.

[exxcentrica]

I'm a rabbit (BUNNY!!!!!!)

[Sashana]

Lol I think they look creepy.

[Lisarenee]

So does that make you hoppy? Sorry my jokes get more lame as I get tired. I've found this quiz produces an awful lot of bunnies. I guess they do multiply quickly. Makes you wonder if the person who developed the quiz did that on purpose. They have a pretty good sense of humor if they did. lol

[Sashana]

Kimberly, I think most of us are Rabbits :)

[Sheila]

Well doesn't that just figure. I'm the only hedgehog in a pen full of rabbits.

[Sashana]

lol Sheila.

[Nicki]

Hedgehogs are wonderful - they eat the slugs in the garden!

I'm...... another rabbit!

[Sheila]

Oh no not you too Nicki my most helpful friend. Notice the picture of the very cute hedgehog.

[Stacey]

I'm a ferret? Who knew?!

[Sashana]

At least your not a rabbit or a hedgehog *shudder*.

[Sheila]
