  1. A sentence or two about the book would be super helpful! It would give us an idea of each book, and whether we might like to look up anything about it. It makes the list a little more useful and quicker to view (unless of course I just ignore most of them because I don’t already know anything about them).

  2. And fifteen dogs ❤️ Such a good book. Canadian and set in Toronto! It was fun to read, interesting and thought provoking too. Exploring the nature of humans by exploring the bet between Greek gods who bet on the outcomes of giving dogs the ability to communicate. It’s been a long time since I read that book — so I hope I didn’t obliterate the one sentence synopsis. 🙂
