Anyhoo, mew remember that before my birthday we're on the Halloween Trail of Spooky Weirdness throughout this month showing mew pictures that the P.A. has taken around our little village in Nowheresville, and last time I asked mew what mew thought of the blue glowing radio-active wurm alien thing, though it's still not as creepy as the week before with the face in the tree but still it was purretty weird.  Well this week, the picture was taken at tea time.... yep broad daylight...

So what do mew think caused the rainbow cloud and the blue orb on the left of the photo?

There was nothing that mew could see with the naked eye at the point in the sky and when the P.A. zoomed-in no other clouds had the rainbow effect.


Weird huh?  That orb isn't small either.... spooky or what?

So while mew ponder on the mystery of another blue orb, I think it's time fur this weeks book, so let's get to it...




This week I'm sharing

Cats on the Run 

(Tuck & Ginger)


by

Ged Gillmore

Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

Watch out! This book is so funny you'll probably pee your pants laughing. It's bonkers and barmy but blooming brilliant. There's no need to tell you what it's about because you can probably guess. (There are these cats, right? And they're, like, on the run.) But you should prepare yourself for kidnappings, stolen taxis, exploding old ladies, and witches with farts so toxic they bring down big trees.

*    *    *

Do mew know how hard it is to find a suitable book fur Halloween, one that has just the right ingredients?  Witches, Cats, brooms, eveeel intent, bad things happening, good things happening, bad things happening some more, but then good thing happening again, etc.... etc.... 

Let me tell mew its been no mean paw to find one but as pure luck would have it I came across Cats on the Run and it actually did have all the right ingredients.  Although supposedly a kids book, furget that, kids would not get half of the subtle jokes, this was written fur adults but disguised as a kids book.

So where to begin, this book is actually hilarious at times. The narration is fabulous and Tucks character is the main source of the hilarity - his accent is absolutely brilliant - though I'm not going to spoilerize it fur mew but I was in stitches at times, yes it's true I almost MOL'd my fur off! 

I even had to ban the P.A. from listening to it while she was driving as she was laughing so hard she couldn't see - it should come with a warning - DO NOT LISTEN AND DRIVE!

That aside this is my new fav book fur Halloween, but mew have to listen to the audio version, as reading it yourself just won't be half as much fun, and the good news is there's another book in the series called Cats Undercover but the bad news is, there's not an audio version yet... arrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!

[Note to self: Must write a letter to author to find out when audio version fur book two is available asap...]


 Audio: 6 hrs 48 mins    

Hardcover: 258 pages

I hope mew enjoy this book if mew do take the plunge and buy it... and if mew've read it already, what did mew think?

*    *    *

Sadly it's time fur me to say BFN or bye-fur-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and join us when we'll be back on Thursday with Professor Basil's Brain-Training and don't furget that I'll be back next week with another specially paw-picked book just fur mew!

Happy reading or listening

  4. Hate to debunk, but the blue dot 'could' be a lens flare, because it's exactly at the edge of the sundog. And trust me, I believe!

  7. Apaws! Apaws! So happy for Erin to win! The book sounds really good. I helped Mom put it on her To Read List. Love the blue orb. It's probably an alien.

  8. Like Eastside Cats said the rainbow is a "sundog" - (sorry !) It's caused by sunlight hitting ice crystals in the air. Sometimes there is a complete ring, sometimes they look like parentheses and sometimes they only show up on one side. It can happen with a moon too - those are called moonbows.
    Congrats to Erin !

    1. Hey Mary, yep, we thought it was something like that, but still it's much more fun to think of it as some weird portal that was just about to open up in the sky!! MOL XOX

  10. YAY for ERin! That photo is spooky indeed but Mary McNeil and Eastside Cats have it right we think - it's a sundog (although it should be called a suncat!).....totally weird indeed but a very cool thing to see!

    Hugs, Teddy

    1. Hey Teddy, yep mew're right, but why couldn't it have been a flare from an alien spaceship? [much more fun] And mew are so right, it should be called a suncat fur sure!! MOL MOL XOX
