Hello meautiful library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today, and this week I've been in the library with Melvyn trying to teach him what happens on a daily basis.

Luckily I have the library mice who already know everything, so they've been helping Melvyn too as he grapples with the day-to-day running.

Though Melvyn does seem to get rather distracted and a little preoccupied with the military vehicles, guns and ammo, and weapons books, and I often find him hidden away in the reading nook with a pile of books Celestial Basil would be delighted and rather proud that he's reading.

Just yesterday I discovered him pawing over a book filled with military trucks, and he had a notepad with him. His military vehicle wish list so far reads:

Oshkosh M1070 Truck

Alvis Saracen Purrsonel Carrier

Unimog

MAN HX60 with Crane

And I'm sure he's added more since! MOL

Anyhoo let's look at this week's top book pick.

Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.
1. I may ___________________________, but I _____________________________.

2. I keep forgetting that _________________________.

3. This time of year, _________ is my favourite treat to enjoy.

4. _________ scares me more than _________.

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

1. I may start the new Halloween Crafting with Cats project this afternoon (Thursday), but I will see how it goes, as I'm waiting for my coal delivery which could arrive at any moment, and I don't want to be mid-glueing/cutting/designing and then have to leave it.

2. I keep forgetting that - well I'll be honest, I keep forgetting lots of things at this point in my life! LOL  My menopause brain is not like my pre-menopause brain; that version was like a steel trap, and sadly the updated version is more like a wet sponge. But so it goes.

3. This time of year, hot chocolate is my favourite treat to enjoy. And if there's mini marshmallows, it's even better! LOL

4.   The world we now live in scares me more than now than at any other point in my life. Up until 2020, it was all ok, but since then it's been a constant downward spiral with those in charge profiteering off the misery of the masses. Will it change? I don't know, but I hope it will.

       Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

Burt is a curious cat by nature, and decides to take advantage of his new surroundings and explore the airport. He meets new friends, Valkyrie, Scout, and the Padre, and samples local cuisine as well. The kindness of his friends is remarkable and enduring. Will he ever reunite with his family? Join him on his quest to learn more.

**Firstly I have to let mew all know that I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair review**

This week I had the purrleasure of reading "Burt The Airport Cat" written by Christine Henry, a book that is as charming as it is captivating. Burt, the lovable black feline protagonist, is described in detail, with his fluffy fur and enchanting green eyes, making him an irresistible character. The author filled the book with lovely hand-painted illustrations, which really bring the pages to life and enhances the rhyming story. We're taken on an adventure through the airport after Burt becomes separated from his furmily on a trip from Canada to England. When he escapes his carrier and then he becomes frightened and scarpers. There's a cast of really charming characters who befriend Burt. As they journey around and through the airport, Burt and his new furiends encounter several challenges that they overcome with teamwork and problem-solving skills, as Burt tries to reunite with his furmily. This book is a purrfect fit for anyone who loves cats, airports, or enjoys a heartwarming story. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful read. It is a purrfect book for younger readers and would make a pawesome gift. More Burt books are planned, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Another Totally Top Paw Read!
