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...]

Catnapped

A Klepto Cat Mystery ~ Volume 1

by

Patricia L. Fry

Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

When Savannah Jordan agrees to help her aunt while she recovers from a broken foot, she doesn’t expect to walk into a mystery, become part of a not-quite-legal surveillance team, be kidnapped by a deranged stranger and meet a steaming hot veterinarian. 

*    *    *

This is the furst novel in a huge series, the 25th one was published only last month so this is a mega-series fur sure.  

If I'm honest I didn't love the narration too much on this one, the main character Savannah sounds very whiny and it's rather off-putting, that aside the plot was good, the story was good and I can't fault it all.  So my recommendation would be to read it rather than listen to it.

The characters are solid, it has a pleasant mix of action, a little romance, some mystery and of course cats, so my fabulous furriends I recommend it fur a light Sunday afternoon read.
