Books to Bark and Crow About - The They Call It Puppy Love Challenge Edition



Hey guys, it's me, Booker T.  Cass is sleeping so I'm going it alone this time.  Don't worry, I'll make sure to include him next month.  So as you know, Mom is hosting a Puppy Love Reading Challenge to celebrate Valentine's Day in February.  So I thought this month I'd showcase some "pup" books and series that I keep telling Mom she should read.  I thought maybe you guys would like them as well and it might even give you guys a few ideas.  So here we go.  

First up are the Stewart Hoag Mysteries.  This is a cozy series which sounds like it is more noir to me (look at me using the fancy words now).  There are 10 books in the series which started in the early 80s which is a LONG TIME ago for me.  I wasn't even born.  It features a ghost-writer, Stewart Hoag and his cat-food-eating dog Lulu.  


Next up is a series by Spencer Quinn.  I've long tried to convince Mom to read these because I know she'd love them.  He writes the Chet and Bernie series where Chet is the lovable dog narrator.  How can you go wrong with a dog narrator.  There are currently 8 books in the series and the 9th one comes out soon.  


And last but not least is strictly cozy series written by Annie Knox.  This is the Pet Boutiques series and the first three books have already been released.  And this one not only features a dog named Packer but also a cat named Jinxed.  See, I don't discriminate against cats ALL the time.  


So whatever you chose to read, I hope you have fun participating and Mom has promised that Cass and I can be more active here during February so I'll be seeing you around!

WOOF WOOF!

    1. They are cool covers. I think I've read a short story in that universe before and really liked it. But kind of felt lost because I'd not read the main series.

  4. Have you read any of the Andy Carpenter books by David Rosenfelt? There are a lot of them I believe. I haven't read any but I have read some of his other books on dog rescue. He is an amazing guy.

    1. No but I think I have a few. I've been slowly collecting them when I've seen them on sale. I think I've read half of Lessons from Tara and really enjoyed it... Hmmm, I need to find that book and finish it!

    1. Thanks Alicia. I don't read a lot of romance (some here and there) so this is my version of a "romance" challenge for February - PETS!

  9. I'll have to check these out. I read The Right Side by Spencer Quinn which I thought was very good. I wish he would turn that into a series.
