Lu asks
Do you have any pet that has a name inspired by your readings?
If not, what would you pick if you DID?
Do any of your friends have book-based names for their pets? (Or their children?)
Piano lessons were imposed on me when I was a little girl. My love for reading extended to the short background of the music or biography of the composer written on my music books. I think I enjoyed the reading part more than working on the keys. Fast forward to 2002 I bought a toy poodle and named him Mozart, that's him on the sidebar, after the composer. I use his photo as a bookmark.
My mother's dog is named Shakespeare, after you-know-who. (sorry for the HP reference). A fairy tale - addict young niece named one of our cats Snow White, and the other George, after King George.

I love your list of books that feature dogs!
ReplyDeleteHmm I never really thought about it. Interesting. Happy T13!
ReplyDeleteA good list. I have only read a couple of those (so far).
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a Thursday Thirteen! A book I read long ago that features a dog was called Nop's Trials. I remember it because it was the first book I'd ever read that was from the dog's point of view.
ReplyDeleteBob was my favorite character in Dumb Witness. He showed a lot more humanity than most of the humans (Poirot excluded, of course).
ReplyDeleteWoof! Happy TT.
