Dog Ear: A reader’s best friend.

If this dog could read, he would!

Dog Ear is one of the best book recommendation blogs for young adult readers. So, if you need to sit and read a book, go fetch one you might like, and don’t waste time chasing your tail.

(And no, I’m not above pandering to you by using a cute photograph of an Aussie.)

If you want something interesting to chew on, find a book that speaks to you.

(Dog Ear is named such because to ‘dog ear’ a page in a book you turn the corner down to hold your place, or one of your favorite places, such as a dog’s ear flops down.)
