Welcome To
With Amber ~ The Best Library Kitty in the entire Mewton~Clawson Parish
*waves paw*
Hello gorgeous library guests and welcome to my private library.
Happy Friday gang and how's your week been? Mine has been relatively quiet in the library, the P.A. finally finished the big clear up and I'm purrleased to say that the new organisation of her stuff is much better, oh and I see that she's got the candle making paraphernalia out, so it looks like something is going to be happening imminently.
Although, I do know that Pandora is keen fur the P.A. to get her Crystal and Magickal Supply Shoppe sorted as that is still in a bit of a mess and needs a lot of rearranging, plus a stock take. Pandora has been looking for a shop counter on Fleabay, though most are far too expensive as she's aftur a vintage/antique vibe ~ yes Pandora does have rather expensive taste. I did say to her just the other day, "Pandora, if I were mew and needed a rather lovely shop counter, I'd go sweet talk Parsley as he's the one with a credit card."
"Great idea Amber!" Pandora replied in her funny, little foreign accent. "I know vhere he keeps it, so I'll just borrow it."
"Pawesome!" I laughed just imagining Parsley's face when he sees his next credit card bill! MOL OOPS!

And now I think it's time to share this weeks book.
This week I'm sharing
To Be A Cat
What would happen if a hooman could become a cat? Well, mew need to read this book to find out.
This is an absolutely fabulous read, Matt Haig is a veteran writer and tells the story of Barney Willow a rather unfortunate 12 year old, not unfortunate in his own right but unfortunate at the mercy of others. Bullied by other kids and even his headteacher, Barney thinks things can't get any wurse until one day he wakes up as a cat.
Now mew know the above paragraph had more info than I usually like to share, mew know the drill; **No Spoilers Here** but I had no option! MOL
So what did I think to, To Be A Cat?

So what did I think to, To Be A Cat?
I thought it was fluffing brilliant; comical, witty, dark, mysterious and bucket loads of fun!
I don't know what else to say apart from this is my newest fav book of 2019.
But the burning question of the day is... would I recommend it to mew? Yes, indeedy I would, purrfect fur all ages and the illustrations throughout are sure to add much flavour to your read.
A TOP READ!
Furry many thanks to HRH Princess Erin, fur kindly lending me her purrsonal copy, I have it nice and safe in the 'restricted access' part of my library so no other paws can get it!
