Welcome To
With Amber ~ The Best Library Kitty in the entire Mewton~Clawson Parish.
*waves paw*
Hello gorgeous library guests and welcome to my private library.
This week I've been enjoying plenty of snuggles on my blanky as it's been a little cold some days... how's the weather been where mew are?
I hope mew're all staying safe and are still evading this eveel virus. The confirmed cases in Nottinghamshire are now at 298 [Thursday pm], up 96 from 202 yesterday. And cases are rising exponentially all over the country; apparently according to experts here, they say the peak in the UK will start on Monday 6th through to approx 30th April, so its batten down the hatches and stay the fluff away from everyone.
All incoming deliveries to BBHQ are being dropped in the trolley at the gate, and then taken for full decontamination before they even enter the house. The P.A and dad are going nowhere other than a walk after dark, when there's absolutely no one else about.
The wurld is a really scary place right now!
Stay safe everypawdy.

The Star-Spun Web

Here's A Small Snippet of the Book Blurb:
With her passion for scientific experimentation and her pet tarantula Violet, Tess de Sousa is no ordinary orphan. When a stranger shows up at Ackerbee's Home for Lost and Foundlings, claiming to be a distant relative come to adopt her, Tess hopes to find some answers to her mysterious origins.

This is another book from Melvyn's Top Ten list at the beginning of the month, and I must say it's a fab read. I know I'm asleep in the pic above but even the most hardened library cat like myself needs to nap! MOL
Anyhoo, let's get back to the book; it has a great plot, interesting characters which develop nicely, the pace rattles along at good speed with plenty of mystery and intrigue along the way. There's some sciency parallel world stuff, token bad buys and a rather marvellous pet tarantula called Violet.
It has all the ingredients for a really fun, page-turning read, and the burning question is, would I recommend to mew? Of course I would, it's great and would be purrfect to while away a few hours during the lockdown.
Try it, I'm sure mew won't be disappointed.

That was a great review sweet Amber and tell the P.A. we enjoyed her fill in answers!
ReplyDeleteDad has always said "So many books, so little time" too, but now he's changed that to "So many books, so much time" now that he's home more. Not a bad thing necessarily, but considering why is the scary part. Stay safe, y'all.
ReplyDeleteYou do great reviews Amber. Love the fill-ins.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here has been spring like the last few days, but another storm is on it's way, so it will be cold, windy and wet again.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. ♥
Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I had the same answer for #1- now to actually do it :) Nice review Amber, that looks like an interesting book. Praying you all stay healthy. XO
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a nice book, Amber. I have managed to find a small firm that will deliver my fruit and veg and is all grown locally. Also a local farmer butcher who is delivering my meat every Friday. I have given up trying to get a delivery slot from the supermarkets. I am in the at risk category and self isolating for 12 weeks, but unless I am extreme risk they won't deliver to me.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, as long as I have my fruit, veg and meat I can manage. I have someone else who gets the essentials like milk and bread.
We are curious about that tarantula Violet. Wonder if she helps the little girl find out about her mysterious past. Mom says she's going to hide the car keys so Dad can't wander off to the garden and hardware store when he's bored. We have 118 cases reported in our county, and one sadly dead. Over 1,400 cases in our state, but we live on the Memphis, Tennessee border where the cases and deaths are much larger. Not going anywhere anytime soon, for sure!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed your friendly fill-in answers. Your blanky looks very comfy. We had a couple of windy and cold days recently, but today is almost sixty degrees. Thanks for sharing. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend.

Scary subject material with a Tarantula...shiver me timbers...oh wait that's for pirates...MOL!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting more cases and sadly more deaths around here too...so far not where petcretary works...and we pray it stays out of there.
This sounds a lot of fun, even the spider, MOL. I bet there'd be NO pulling the legs off that one! Stay safe and well, and do keep reading and sharing as that helps us all enjoy the necessary shutdown.

Your library always makes me smile. What a wonderful place to be. And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! I'm not the biggest fan of cleaning, but I will nonetheless be doing my spring cleaning throughout this month. Purrs!
