Hello gorgeous library guests
and
Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ
Thank mew for joining me today; this was me, Melvyn and Fudge taking a little breather from all the pawty activity and food! MOL
Though I must say that the pawty food was utterly delicious and if mew didn't get to try any, just hop to the pawty post using the link above and don't forget to enter the free giveaway.
Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.
1.___________________ keeps me up at night.
2. If I could improve one of my senses, it would be _____________________.
3. If I were home alone and heard footsteps in the house, I would _________.
4. I would want the epitaph on my tombstone to say _________.
The P.A.'s answers are...
1.___________________ keeps me up at night. Not a lot does these days; if the world were ending, that would, or if any of The B Team were unwell, that would.
2. If I could improve one of my senses, it would be my sixth.
3. If I were home alone and heard footsteps in the house, I would grab a gun or a bat or the closest weapony thing I could find.
4. I would want the epitaph on my tombstone to say: She Loved Her Cats, and husband of course! LOL
Today, as it's the last Friyay of the month, we're also joining in the furrbulous...
So do drop by the marvellous Mudpie's blog at www.mochasmysteriesmeows.com to join in.
Melvyn's Modelling Fail
This was one of the fails from Melvyn's modelling shoot a couple of weeks ago, mew can see the fabulous photo we posted on the Midweek News here or watch him strut his stuff on the catwalk in his TikTok video here.
Let's see what I've got to show mew this time!
This week's top book pick is...
Familiar Spirits
Twilight Hollow Witchy Cozy Mysteries Book 1
by
Sara Christene
Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:
Welcome to Twilight Hollow, WA, a small forest town with three resident witches. Adelaide O’Shea runs the Toasty Bean, imbuing her coffee and tea with warm, cozy magic. When a black cat crosses her path, she worries her new pet might be unlucky, and her suspicions are confirmed when the next thing in her path is a dead man with her phone number in his pocket.
Mew may remember a couple of weeks ago that I said I'd purchased a new Kindle paperwhite as my old one was difficult to read these days. Anyhoo I also decided to join the Kindle Unlimited programme as it is free for a 3-month trial and I thought NICE, free books for 90 days! MOL
Anyhoo, today's book is the first Kindle Unlimited title I have read. I've read a few more in the last couple of weeks and there was another that was vying for today's Halloween slot, but I chose this one instead.
Sara Christene is a new author to me, and I'd never heard of The Twilight Cozy Mystery series, so it was a great find. There are five books in the series, though at this point not having read any of the others, I can't say whether there will be more.
So what did I think of this new series?
I really enjoyed this; the plot is pacy and the characters start off well. And I know that there's a coffee shop, a witch, a murder and a cat, and while this might not be the most original of ideas the author has crafted a good, solid story with interesting characters and plenty of potential to expand in future volumes.
I'm not going to spoilerize any of the plot or characters in this first volume, but I do think it has the prospects at this point to be a really good, enjoyable series. Also, as it's only 140 pages long, it didn't take long to read. If mew're looking for a quick series and not a seemingly endless saga, this is pawesome. And I think the cover art is epic too!
In my humble opinion, this novel is the purrfect Sunday afternoon read on a rainy day, in front of the fire, with a cup of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows.
A Top Paw Read!
