What an Animal Challenge VIII

I'm ready to sign up for the What an Animal Reading Challenge VIII.  Yvonne at Socrates' Book Reviews began hosting this challenge in 2010, when she took it over from Kristi at Passion for the Page.  If you love reading books about animals or just have a lot of books on your TBR shelf with animals in the title or on the cover, come join us in the challenge. There are several levels--click the link to get the full details and to sign up.

I'm going to start with Level 1 (read six books). I may level up...but my commitment will be complete once I get my six.
