Love To Read? Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #206 featuring **Claw and Order** by Leighann Dobbs PLUS Friendly Fill-Ins

Hello gorgeous library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today, and mew may remember last week when I was a little over-excited that the P.A. had painted the library door at BBHQ, and it wasn't going to plan?

Well, she duly presented me with this little step as an appeasement present so I didn't lose my fur completely.

And as mew can see, I am moderately appeased and temporarily mollified by said surprise pressie.

Finally, here is the offending door after four coats of red gloss.

If I'm honest it could have done with another coat, but the P.A. said, "Amber if I put any more gloss on it, the fluffing door won't shut!"

So that was that, and I still have my misgivings about it all. The first one is this, the previous colour red was specially mixed and is not available off the shelf, and so the P.A. had to purrchase a new red which is slightly darker with a more blue undertone.

The second is this, I preferred the previous red which had a more orangey undertone and was slightly lighter. We called it nuclear red, and it was pawesome!

But anyhoo, the door is painted, so I have to be thankful for that and it should look ok for a few years. Though if our retired decorator suddenly decides that he'd like to come and do some painting, I'm getting him to get the old colour paint and re-do it! MOL 

Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. Did you know _______________?

2. My plans for June include _____________ and __________________.

3. When I need to cheer myself up, I _________.

4. I could teach an entire course on _________.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. Did you know it was Basil's 20th Birthday on Wednesday, and this year marks his 4th Angelversary? Not a day goes by when I don't miss him, or any of the other angels for that matter.

2. My plans for June include painting the summer house and the telephone box among other things. And I will say this, I'm a little daunted by it all! LOL

3. When I need to cheer myself up, I like to partake in a little retail therapy.

4. I could teach an entire course on crystals, healing and other alternative therapies.

Let's see what I've got to show mew this time!

This week's top book pick is...

Mewton-Clawson Library Copy

Claw and Order

by

Leighann Dobbs

       Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

Bookstore owner Willa Chance had no idea that a magical key was hidden in the old recipe book that she sold to food blogger Mary Ashford. Luckily the key is now safely tucked away in a box high on a shelf in the bookstore.... or is it?

Feline sleuth Pandora needs Willa's help to make sure that key doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. This time she’ll have to take drastic measures to break through the barrier that has stopped her from communicating with her human... even if she has to take a chance on one of Pepper St. Onge’s enchanted teas. The teas are known to have unpredictable results, but Pandora is desperate and what could be worse than the threat to Mystic Notch?

 Here are the links to the previous reviews of the entire Mystic Notch Cozy series:

Ghostly Paws  Book 1

 A Spirited Tail   Book 2

A Mew to a Kill Book 3 

Paws and Effect Book 4 

Probable Paws   Book 5

A Whisker of Doubt Book 6

Wrong Side of The Claw Book 7

Claw and Order Book 8 (today's review)

Finally, here we are with the last book in the Mystic Notch Cat Cozy Mystery series, and after seven books - yes this is going to be a little bit of a spoiler, so if mew don't want to know skip to the next paragraph - Pandora finally gets the ability to talk and propurrly communicate with Willa, like OMC, this was a totally defining moment. And for those of mew who've already read the previous novels, mew will know how challenging it has been for Pandora to try and convey her suggestions, notions and ideas to Willa.

I've thoroughly and unequivocally adored this entire series, the author is such a talented writer and really delivers a supurr story each and every time, with a roller-coaster plot and ameowzing cast of characters.

I do sincerely hope that the author decides to continue this series in the future, but if she doesn't I'm happy with the conclusion of book eight. And she has written many more series besides, some of which I've already featured.

So if mew're looking for an utterly brilliant cat cozy mystery series, I can't recommend this one enough. 

TOTALLY TOP PAW!
