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...

Thursday, 28 September 2017 17:37

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.

Wordy on Wednesday with Biblio-Kitty Amber #47 featuring Cats Can't Shoot: A Pru Marlowe Pet Noir

Welcome To

With me, Amber ~ The Self-Appointed Biblio-Kitty

Supurr salutations pawesome furriends

*waves paw*

Welcome to another wunderpurr Wednesday on the blog.  I'm so excited as my supurr exclusive Crotchety Cougars Red Bonnet arrived on Monday from 15andMeowing - now this is such a great honour as mew can't join The Crotchety Cougars Club until mew are 15, which as of next Tuesday I will be, but appurrently until then I'm not allowed to see, touch, wear or even sniff my new bonnet on the P.A. orders.  

She said and I quote, "Amber it's not your birthday for another six days, you have to wait!"

"PHOOOOEY!"  I harrumphed and stomped off to my library in sheer disgust.

But let me tell me I will get to sneak a peek in that envelope when the Tyrannical Overlord aka the P.A. isn't looking! MOL 

Oh and moving on now, mew remember that we're on the Halloween Trail of Spooky Weirdness throughout this month and today I'm sharing another picture the P.A. took on October's full moon while she was stood in the courtyard.  It's not as creepy as last weeks but still....

OMC what's that blue thing above the clouds?  And it's purretty big... EEEEEEK...  It wasn't in the previous pictures either, as the P.A. always takes 2 or 3 of the same thing - don't ask why, I don't know, she's just a bit nuts! MOL

And no it wasn't a satellite, or a plane, or a helicopter, or a radio-active wurm, or even a big glowy blue-burd!

Idea's anyone?

While mew ponder on the mystery of the blue orb, I think it's time fur this weeks book, so let's hop to it...

This week I'm sharing

Cats Can't Shoot 

A Pru Marlowe Pet Noir 

by

Clea Simon

Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

When Pru Marlowe gets the call that there's been a cat shooting, she's furious. Animal brutality is the one thing that this tough animal psychic won't stand for, and in her role as a behaviorist she's determined to care for the traumatized pet. But when Pru finds out that the cat "did" the shooting - accidentally setting off a rare dueling pistol - she realizes something else is going on. 

*    *    *

Cats Can't Shoot is the furst in the Pru Marlowe Pet Mystery Series and it didn't disappoint at all.  Pru can read the minds of animals, which is a gift I wish the P.A. had then she'd know exactly what I want and when I want it without me having to find her and tell her in purrson! MOL

But seriously this book has it all, suspense, drama, really good characters, a nice plot to lead mew along and keep turning those pages or in my case binge-listening.

Pru's cat Wallace is a great character and I'm hoping as the series progresses becomes more front and centre, and it's read by one of my favourite narrators too, Tavia Gilbert.

If mew haven't read or listened to this, I really think mew should, mew won't be disappointed.
