From an animal perspective
Stories narrated by animals. Primary focus on ya/adult books with a select few classics for all ages.
For the Love of Dog
Books featuring our favorite four-legged companions
Tails & Tales
This list is for dog lovers who canβt resist a good story told through paws, loyalty, and unconditional love. From heartwarming adventures to emotional journeys, these novels remind us just how much dogs shape the stories we carry.
Dog books can be tearjerkers. Check if the dog dies first if youβd rather avoid surprises.
Animal POV
Let the animals tell the story! I am trying to be as comprehensive as possible with the exception of childrenβs books, graphic novels and comics (too many to list!)-although there are some.
Animal POV
A collection of books where the main characters are animals
Warning!! Pearl by Josh Malerman is considered a horror (extreme horror?) So check your triggers!
Book to Screen Pipeline
Books that have been made into TV shows or movies. It always amazed me how many there are.
As always feel free to recommend any I missed!
Emotional Damage, but Make it Literary
For readers who like their fiction tragic, their prose pretty and their emotional recovery indefinite.

Pets and Other Stories of Animals πππΎπ¦π
Mostly mysteries and other stories that have that central thread of pet ownership. There may be romance, horror, or something else but pets are somehow involved or take up space on the cover (not always).
