Recs if you like What We Fed to the Manticore...

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

i love when animals get the chance to yap and/or narrate their own stories :)

recommendations welcome!

Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...

Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage 🥹

Reading and collecting great books with pigeons in them

EXTREMELY HAPPY TO RECIEVE SUGGESTIONS!

(no guarantee for anything I haven't read yet to actually have some good birbs in it)

I see a few lists on here with this theme, but they were short themselves - and I was looking for a more diverse selection. So, thought I'd make my own list and share it! Nice for reading goals, but mostly, I like breaking up the rhythm if I'm reading something exceptionally long.

books with stunning artwork and cover designs that may or may not be the reason we pick them up🫣

Let the animals tell the story! I am trying to be as comprehensive as possible with the exception of children’s books, graphic novels and comics (too many to list!)-although there are some. The list is inclusive of the Animal POV main quest and the Cat POV side quest.

Short novels can sometimes be overlooked by readers who usually go for content that will leave them thinking. Usually, only books that are exceptionally long or are known as classics can leave a reader reeling for hours after. However, in around 200 pages or less, these authors have composed multiple or a single story that cause you to question the way things are in the world in comparison to how they could be.

books about sea creatures, the ocean, and anything in between (prob might end up with a lot of shark ones)

... keeps the boredom away! 😁

Anthologies and single-author collections with a focus on genre fiction and marginalized authors. Suggestions always welcome.

Why read an ugly book when you can read a good looking?

Books featuring sentient/speaking animals acting like animals — not merely humans dressed in animal costume.

books with animal main characters and povs🦭

Sci-fi, spec fic, and fantasy concerning itself with tbe environment.

Ecofiction is an elastic term, capacious enough to accommodate a variety of fictional works that address the relationship between natural settings and the human communities that dwell within them. — Jonathan Levin
