Welcome to
The Self-Appointed Biblio-Kitty
Pawesome greetings fellow bibliocats
Welcome to another Wednesday on the blog.
Oh my what a fabulous week, apart from all the high-tension and stress on Tuesday Tails yesterday, I've been languishing on my ladder without a care in the wurld.
I've been adding to my to read list and scouring the interwebs fur future books to review as even though I read oodles of books on my three week sabbatical, it won't be long until I've shared them all with mew! MOL
And now that the nights are drawing in, fur us that means more reading time as who wants to be outside in the dark when it's cold and possibly raining, I'm more of a; get the P.A. to make a fire in the sitting room, get snuggled in a soft blankey and while the hours away with a good book, there's nothing better.
Anyhoo let's get to this weeks novel!

A Psycho Cat and the Landlady Mystery
by
Joyce Brown
I think it is a little misleading to say this is true cat cozy mystery, as while it has a cat Sylvester aka Psycho Kitty featuring, he is not an active and integral part of the plot. He just makes random appearances here and there with mainly little or no input unlike other cat cozy mysteries I have reviewed.
That aside it was an enjoyable read, howeffur I think Sylvester should have had a much larger role throughout.
It is well-plotted and has plenty of twists and turns to keep mew guessing, and it does make a great rainy day read as a mystery novel as long as mew don't want the kitty in the starring role.
At the moment I'm not sure if I'm going to delve further into the series, I think I'll put the series on stand-by fur when I have nothing else.

Oh, that is a shame, I do like it when we cats get to play an active role in proceedings. If it is well read then I will get peep to buy the first one and read it to me... maybe the later ones will improve? purrs ERin
ReplyDeleteErin, it's a good book, but I thought there'd be more kitty action as that's what the title implies - they lied! purrs Amber xox
DeleteMaybe the author should chan e the. Main characters into felines. And the. cat into a mouse...MOL!
ReplyDeleteMOL guys that's too funny!!! purrs Amber xox
DeleteYou've got a great idea about spending the dark, rainy evenings with a good cat-themed mystery book. It stinks that there wasn't more kitty in this book. The cover and title certainly make it seem like the cat would be a main feature of the story. At least it was still a fun mystery!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the cover and title are somewhat misleading but I'm wundering if the 2nd book has more kitty action... I suppose I'll have to wait because aftur this one I'm in no hurry to find out... purrs Amber xox
DeleteI would LOVE to have those bookshelves!! xoxo catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteCaren & Cody, mew can come to my library anytime mew like! purrs Amber xox
DeleteI just went to the library last night to stock up for the cool fall nights. Reading is my ideal fall activity. I might need to add this book to my list for next month, given your good review.
ReplyDeleteJean from Welcome to the Menagerie
Jean, have a look through my previous reviews as there are a few more series I would recommend before mew read this... purrs Amber xox

.....IN .....!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥☺☺☺☺☺
Tabbies, mew know we need a lot of kitty action here! MOL Oh don't wurry about the P.A. bringing in the ladder, I'm going to use the miniaturizer ray gun on it to make it the exact size fur the library then in the summer I can take it outside again, make it big again and get right up there in the dizzying heights of the big blue! MOl purrs Amber xox
DeleteNice review, too bad the cat didn't have a bigger role in the story.
ReplyDeleteGuys, that's what really ruined fur me, it looked so purromising from the cover and title! purrs Amber xox
DeleteIt's a case of: mew can't judge a book by its cover! MOL
DeleteAmber, we love that you are so honest in your reviews. We do like books where the cats play a central role, but it sounds like a good book overall.
ReplyDeleteGuys, look it was a good mystery book, but I like more kitty involvement like mew, so it sadly didn't deliver on that front, but as I said in another comment, may be the next in the series has more kitty action???? but aftur that one I'm in no hurry to find out... purrs Amber xox
DeleteWow, that's quite an extensive library!! Enjoy late nights reading.

Well, I haven't read this book, but I agree with you. Sylvester should have a larger role. Because cats are the best!
ReplyDeleteChatty Cats, mew are so right, cats are the best! MOL purrs Amber xox
