What an Animal 3: 03/12/10

I participated in the first What an Animal Challenge but I didn't finish. I missed the second challenge but I'm back to try the third one.

The Rules

1. Read at least 6 books that have any of the following requirements:
   a. there is an animal in the title of the book
   b. there is an animal on the cover of the book
   c. an animal plays a major role in the book
   d. a main character is (or turns into) an animal (define that however you'd like).
2. The animal can be any type of animal (real or fictitious) — dog, cat, monkey, wolf, snake, insect, hedgehog, aardvark...dragon, mermaid, centaur, vampire, werewolf...you get the idea...
3. Challenge runs from March 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011. That's a full year to read at least 6 books (you can read more if you'd like). You can still sign up after March 1st as long as you can get 6 books read by February 28, 2011 ;o).
4. Books can be fiction or nonfiction.
5. You may make a list of books at the beginning of the challenge or you can just list them as you find them.
6. Book titles may be swapped out at anytime (assuming you made a list to begin with).
7. Crossovers with other challenges are permitted and encouraged.
8. You don't have to have a blog or write a review, but you can if you want to.

My plan for this challenge is to not make a list of books. I will read an add the ones that qualify to the completed list. Since the challenge officially began at the start of the month I am including the ones I've already reviewed that qualify.
