Hello gorgeous library guests and welcome to my private library

Happy Friday guys and how's your week been?  

Mine was going swimmingly well until I went outside to get a bit of fresh air and eat a little grass.  Now mew see we have a burd-feeder in the courtyard and the seeds fall onto the gravel and we get the most nom'a'licious little patch of grass.  

The P.A. leaves it until she says, it looks far too messy, and then she'll go weed the entire area [no chemicals allowed here] and then in a couple of weeks we get a new outdoor patch.

So anyhoo, I decided to amble outdoors and get some grass and this is what I found happening...

Yep, it was my bed with Smooch last week and now Parsley and Fudge are just helping themselves to my grass too!

I know I've already said it, but I'll say it again...

IS NOTHING SACRED ANY MORE????????

And now I think it's time to share this weeks book.

This week I'm sharing

Seeing a Large Cat 

Amelia Peabody Series BK 9 

by

Elizabeth Peters

Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

Best-selling mystery author Elizabeth Peters has captured the hearts of thousands of readers with her spunky Victorian Egyptologist, Amelia Peabody Emerson. In Seeing a Large Cat, Amelia must ensnare a modern-day killer, a bogus spiritualist, and a predatory debutante in the awesome Valley of the Kings. Someone is sending ominous messages: "Stay away from tomb Twenty-A!" Intrigued, parasol-wielding Amelia won't rest until she finds the forbidden burial site.

Now I know this is book 9 in the series but what a book it is!  And even though I have started in the middle of the series, this novel is a great stand-alone read too.

There are in total 20 novels in the series, although the author sadly died in 2013 aftur an illustrious writing career spanning just under 50 years [WOW that's fantastic] and the final book in the series was finished by another writer.

If you like your Downton Tabby vibe and all that is furry propurr and exceedingly well mannered, then mew're going to love this book. The narration is purrfect and so fitting fur the 1903-1904 era, a frightfully propurr tone throughout which I absolutely loved.

I am planning on starting at the beginning and wurking my way through the entire 20 books at my earliest convenience, and I also think that it would make an epic TV series if someone hasn't done so already! MOL

So if mew're looking for a rip-roaring, page-turning family period drama, then this is definitely fur mew!
