Feline Fiction on Fridays #111 at Amber's Library featuring **Murder She Knit** by Peggy Ehrhart & A Shout Out For Scrumble's Charity Advent Calendar

Welcome To

With Amber ~ The Best Library Kitty in the entire Mewton~Clawson Parish

Supurr salutations pawesome furriends

*waves paw*

Hello gorgeous library guests and welcome to my private library

Before we dive into this weeks book, our fabulous pals from Scrumble's; mew remember we reviewed their delicious cat food last year... well this year, the team added some lovely advent calendars to their growing inventory.

Plus they are donating 50p from the sale of every one to a local anipal charity in London; Wood Green Rescue and if mew buy one, mew have the option to donate £5 to the same charity at the time of purchase - we love that idea, mew get daily treats and homeless anipals get a little extra help offur the Catmas period.   

Click here to visit the Scrumble's Charity Advent Calendar page for cats.

We love the **warning** on their website #ABSOLUTELYHILARIOUS

Keep out of reach to avoid your cat demolishing more than one window a day. 
Each window contains one of two healthy cat treats.

This so applies to Melvyn who goes on solo midnight feast missions at least once a week [he says he's on a bulking session right now].  The P.A. & Dad then find the evidence of his nocturnal picnicking activities at various locals in the morning! #PropurrHardcoreHeathen

But anyhoo, young Melvyn's snatch and grab aside, this advent calendar is all mine and NOPE I'm not sharing with any of those other heathens, and I shall be locking it up in my library for safe keeping! 

BACK AWAY FROM THE ADVENT CALENDAR IF MEW KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR MEW!

Many thanks to Scrumble's for sending it just for me; mew guys are epic and I hope your fundraiser is a pawesome success!

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

This week I'm sharing

Murder She Knit

 Knit and Nibble Mystery Book 1

 by 

Peggy Ehrhart

Here's A Small Snippet of the Book Blurb:      

Since her only daughter left for college, widow Pamela Paterson has kept busy as associate editor of a craft magazine and founder of the Knit and Nibble knitting club in quaint Arborville, New Jersey. Now, she's trying out a new hobby--solving murders!

>^.^<

Well if mew are avid followers of my reviews, mew know how much I love a cozy mystery, especially if its got cats in!  

Furstly I have mention how much I adore the cover and if mew check out the other books in the series [5 in total], those covers are gorgeous too, but I digress, if mew love knitting, obviously this is for mew, but if mew're not a knitter, don't be put off at all as this is for everyone who loves a cozy mystery.

I really liked the setting, it has likeable characters, though the black cat didn't really have much to do with the mystery, but still its a cute kitty!  The plot rattles along with plenty of twists and turns to keep mew guessing and there were a few laughs too.  

Overall a good, solid start to a fun new series, and I'll definitely be getting book 2, Died in the Wool on my next book buying foray. 

So if mew're in the market for a new cozy mystery series, give this a try, I'm sure mew'll enjoy it.

Happy Thanksgiving, Sorry About Last Weeks Link-Up and Real Mancats DO Wear PINK - A Sneak Peek of our Next Crafting with Cats on The Pet Parade 328 with Dash Kitten, Barking from the Bayou and US!

 Wednesday Greetings Fabulous Furriends

And welcome to our weekly news round-up.

Furstly we'd like to wish all our furriends offur the pond a furry 

Happy Thanksgiving 2019!

And fur those celebrating here in the U.K. there's always plenty of turkey to go around at BBHQ, but be quick because young Melvyn is on a bulking session right now! MOL

Wherever mew are, and howeffur mew celebrate, we really hope mew all have a pawesomely supurr day!

In other news this week...

Sorry that last weeks link up didn't work, apparently there was a bit of a glitch in the space time continuum-a-nom-nom-nom and the P.A. only just saw that there was another lot of HTML code she could have used that did wurk - OOPS BAD P.A.! 

Purrlease let us know in the comments if mew have any issues joining in.  We're sorry we still can't allow any right-clicking on the blog, as the minute we do, we'll be content scraped to kingdom come.



And finally before we pop off... 

Real Mancats DO Wear PINK 

As clearly demonstrated by Melvyn, who's not afraid to embrace a more feminine colour palette should the occasion arise in his uber successful modelling career.

Melvyn is such a epic model, the P.A. can't believe her luck aftur 25 years! MOL

We've got some really fun Crafting with Cats posts lined up fur mew in the coming weeks, including making your own decorations and the cute bandanna above.  Now this purrticular Catmas bandanna is going all the way to Belarus to a lovely little gurl cat called Simma, and we've made one with green pom poms fur her cousin called Dabi, which Fudge will be modelling in the upcoming post.  So we know mew won't want to miss out on that, plus we've got a Catmas pudding to share, and not just any pudding, mew guys are going to love this - but obviously no spoilers today! MOL

If mew've missed any of the posts offur the last week, here's the catch up links:

Mancat Monday at BBHQ with The Pinnacle of Uber Manlycatness ~ Fudge

It's Mancat Monday, and mew know what that means, so today Fudge is here sharing all his uber manlycatness! 

Doesn't he cut a magnificent specimen of a ruggedly handsome mancat?

We can almost guarantee all the ladycats in the blogosphere will be swooning right now over this gorgeous ginger-ninja pin-up! MOL

So we'll leave mew to admire Fudge in peace, [btw if mew'd like a photo of him, drop us a line] and we'll see mew on Wednesday when we'll be back with The Pet Parade, until then...

Melvyn's Autumn Adventure on The Sunday Selfies & Caturday Art Blog Hops

Fabulous greetings pawesome pals

Welcome to another selfie selection and today our theme is:

Melvyn's Autumn Adventure

Melvyn loves his little outdoor safari's, and if mew look closely mew'll notice his eyes are the same colour as the leaves - EPIC!

We're also joining in the lovely Athena's Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

The effect was created with Befunky - Underpainting DLX

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and see if mew can beat our time of  9 mins 40 secs.  And surprisingly we're gaining traction and are much quicker than last weeks! MOL

Anyhoo it's time for us to go snoopervise the P.A. while she starts cleaning the kitty kitchen and our bathroom as mew know what a total menace she is to herself these days, so we do hope mew have a totally terrific day!

Wishing mew lots of snoozy snuggles
