Favorite book:

Favorite EARTH book:
The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure by Hans Magnus Enzensberger
Since arriving on Earth I have become fascinated by the literary pursuits of humans. Bigfoot generously invited me to join his book club and has furthermore requested that I share book recommendations on his blog. Uncertain as to whether my alien sensibilities will allow me to successfully recommend books that humans will enjoy, I test every book I read on my guinea pig (as I understand is common practice in scientific studies on this planet). To postulate: if Mortimer likes it, other Earthlings will, too.
Some favorite books:
The Bake Shop Ghost by Jacqueline Ogburn
Clockwork by Philip Pullman
Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams
Jane-Emily by Patricia Clapp
The Serpent Came to Gloucester by M.T. Anderson
Bigfoot knows I love to read. That must be why he asked me to work with him on his book blog. I sent him an email saying yes. Fortunately, he didn't get it. I guess it went into his spam folder or something. I say fortunately because, to sweeten the deal, Bigfoot offered to pay my library fines in exchange for my help. I owed $574.23. (You'd be surprised how cranky a librarian can be if a book gets just the slightest bit wet.)

Being a turtle can be kind of boring, if you want to know the truth. That's probably why I like to read. Not much interesting happens when you live in a shell, but anything can happen in a book.

Just kidding. I'm not really a speed reader. I read slowly, so I can savor the story. Sometimes I read very slowly because I don't want the book to end. I like all kinds of books, even the ones that make me cry.
Briar the Psychic Beagle
Some favorite books:
Methuselah's Dog by Betsy Wernert
No Room for the Dead by Betsy Wernert
No Room for the Dead by Betsy Wernert
I know lots of things before they happen. Sometimes I see what's going to happen in a vision, sometimes I get a strong feeling. Like, if somebody nearby is about to pop a tray of peanut butter cookies into the oven, I just know. Bigfoot thought it might be fun to put my psychic abilities to use for his blog. I will be predicting future book releases. Got to run...I sense impending peanut butter activity.
