**FELINE FICTION FIX** Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #262 featuring **The Twelve Cats of Christmas** by Kandy Radzinski **PLUS** Friendly Fill-Ins

Hello Supurr Library furiends

and

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ

Many thanks for joining me in the stacks again, and oh my cod, did mew read our boiler broke down on the Midweek News?  Luckily we got it fixed late on Tuesday, but the house was really cold and I ended up snuggling against the P.A.'s slippers to keep warm!

This is the P.A., just to let you guys know that it wasn't that cold, and Amber is being a little dramatic, she had her bed in front of the woodburner and was as warm as toast, so please don't listen to the tall tails! LOL

Don't mew believe a word of what the P.A. says, it was pawsitively BALTIC! So much so that I nearly called Cat Line to report such heinous travesties!

It's a good thing I am so thoughtful and kind, that I didn't make the call, well only because my bed was moved closer to the woodburner! 

Anyhoo, let's have a 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’ll be ______________ for Christmas.

2. I am eager to see ____________open his/her gift.

3. ‘Twas the night before Christmas and I _________.

4. I _________ the day after Christmas.

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

1. I’ll be at home for Christmas. I'm cooking lunch and really looking forward to it.

2. I am eager to see ____________open his/her gift. Ahhhh, we don't really do gift-giving, so I can't answer that question. 

3. ‘Twas the night before Christmas and I ate lots of things I shouldn't!  LOL

4. I ate lots of things I shouldn't the day after Christmas. You see I got my crystal ball out and saw it all unfold! LOL

This week's top book pick is...

The Twelve Cats of Christmas 

by 

Kandy Radzinski

 Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:   

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me four Siamese, three climbing cats, two cats asleep, and a white cat with a red bow. This irresistible collection of festive felines features cats intently gazing out windows, mischievously playing with rolls of ribbon, contentedly lapping up milk, and relaxing in a variety of other friendly, familiar poses. 

>^.^<

Guys, I did have another book planned for mew today, but sadly I didn't realize it didn't have a cat in it until it was too late! I looked at the cover and saw what I thought was a cat, but it turned out to be a squirrel! MOL  (Glasses are needed!)

So I'm sharing one of my all-time favourite Catmas books with mew instead.

"Ooooooooh look, my new book!" 

What did I think of The Twelve Cats of Christmas? I loved it, it's as simple as that!

I thought the illustrations were epic, the updated cat-themed verses were purrfect and all in all a thoroughly enjoyable little book.

This is such a fun book, and I'm so happy that I have a copy in the library. 

It's purrfect for all ages and it would make the most fabulous pressie for anypawdy who loves cats.

Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library featuring **The Twelve Cats of Christmas** by Kandy Radzinski 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 furstly,

 

The B Team had a private New Years Eve pawty in the bunker at BBHQ as Nottinghamshire was put into Tier Four Lockdown on Wednesday, and the strange thing is the cases in our county were decreasing daily and then we get locked down again.

Mew know what I'm finding really strange right now in the UK; on the news on Wednesday evening it was announced that 21,000 people were in hospital with Covid-19 in the UK and there were a 1000 new cases the day before, so this vaccine that we have, well we have two vaccines now - so all of those people in the hospitals, are they getting the vaccine furst? And does the vaccine wurk if mew already have covid, and then what about the 1000's of new cases each day, are they getting the vaccine?

They are also now airlifting covid patients to hospitals all over the country too, surely if these peeps were given the vaccine, the hospital cases would drop tremendously and take the pressure off the NHS, and if new cases were vaccinated as soon as they appeared wouldn't this also slow the spread and begin the start of eradicating the virus altogether?

Why is no one asking these questions, as another long term lockdown will destroy even more businesses and livelihoods?

What do mew guys think to all of this?

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

1. My focus word for 2021 is _________.

2. I didn't get to _________ this year, but I hope to in 2021.

3. The year 2020 taught me _________.

4. _________ is one of my biggest goals for 2021.

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

1. My focus word for 2021 is balance.

2. I didn't get to go on holiday this year, but I hope to in 2021.

3. The year 2020 taught me that there are a lot of selfish, stupid idiots about - more than I originally thought! There are also a lot of good people too, though sadly the selfish idiots are ruining it for everyone.

4. Trying to get back to writing my books is one of my biggest goals for 2021.

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

I did review this gorgeous book at the beginning of 2019, but as I think it's so delightful I'm sharing it again today.

Feline Fiction on Fridays #86 at Amber's Library featuring **The Twelve Cats of Christmas** by Kandy Radzinski

Welcome To

With Amber ~ The Best Library Kitty in the entire Mewton~Clawson Parish

Supurr salutations pawesome furriends

*waves paw*

Hello gorgeous library guests and welcome to my private library and welcome to my furst review of 2019!

Now the book I'm reviewing today was meant fur last Friday, though sadly due to the Catmas Post, that and our Postman being on the missing list, [I hope the Kraken hasn't eaten him - OOPS!] it didn't arrive until last Caturday - fluffing typical! MOL

So anyhoo, I'm still sharing this as I think it's absolutely fan'cat'stic!

Furstly though I have a little Pet Peeve...

"Parsley where are mew?" I shouted. "I have a complaint!"

Parsley peered cautiously around the door into the library and replied." Yes Amber, how may I help mew?"

"Parsley I have a Pet Peeve and I need to get it off my fur right now!" I replied.

Parsley groaned inwardly and thought, 'OMC I just hope it's not as dramatic as last time!' 

"Sure Amber, what is it?" Parsley asked rather guardedly. "As mew know I haven't done any Pet Peeve posts in a while... but fur mew I can make it happen!"

"Good, now come in and sit down while I explain what's bugging my boggle," I instructed.

Parsley came in and sat on the rug. "Why the unhappy face?" he asked.

"What do mew mean, unhappy face?" I snapped. "THIS IS MY HAPPY FACE!"

'Oh heck!' Parsley murmured and began to back slowly out of the room.

Stay tuned fur Pet Peeves with Parsley tomorrow to find out what my boggle was this week, and now I think it's time to share my top book pick.

This week I'm sharing
