Wordy on Wednesday with Biblio-Kitty Amber #56 featuring Finding Mya

Welcome To

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

Supurr salutations pawesome furriends

*wavy paws*

Do mew know how much I've missed mew all?  I've missed mew all terribly so this last couple of weeks and I'm thrilled to be back at last!

Mew may remember last Friday when Basil mentioned that I'd run out of Audible Credits again, this is true and when I tried to renew my plan early on my iPhone it wouldn't let me and immediately I was transported back to last year when the exact same thing happened...

SHOCK!

DENIAL!

But then the P.A. said. "Amber, let's log in to your account on the desk-top computer and check your account status before you start plotting all manner of things like last year!"

"Oh good idea!" I concurred, taking a firm grip of my raging emotions before I was engulfed in a complete meltdown.

So off we went to the P.A.'s office in the Sky-Lounge and logged into my account, and mew'll neffur believe it, we were able to renew my memfurship early so now I have a basket full of lovely credits to spend!

I'm so excited as mew can imagine as I've got so many new books lined up to share with mew that I can barely contain myself, I'm so happy I could burst with joy, but I won't because that would be horribly messy! MOL 

So lets jump in with this weeks supurr special book as I've been waiting to share this with mew since the start of the year.

Here's me with Herms, pawesome leader of the Wonderpurr Gang and all things Purranormal!!! 

Finding Mya

by

Kimberley Koz

Book Blurb:

Eight-year-old Mya has a magical relationship with her grandma's foster kitten, Herman. They talk to each other. Not with words. With tickle thoughts! It’s love at first sight, and they plan to live Happily Ever After. Then the worst happens. Mya's vacation ends, and Herman is given to a woman whose dog treats cats like chew toys. He escapes danger, but the road to finding Mya is scary and tough. She promised to leave picture-maps along the way to her home. All Herman has to do is follow them and he will live Happily Ever After in the safety of Mya’s arms. It's a wonderful plan. Too bad it goes wrong right from the start.

As mew know I really love Herms, and I reviewed

Sherlock Herms Purranormal Mysteries: The Case of the Dancing Ghosts

last year, and it was fabulous.  So I'm delighted to finally review Finding Mya.  So what did I think, I thought it was freakin marvellous.  There were many times when I had leaky eyes and I was feeling Herms stress, but I knew deep down that it would all end up ok... and that made me read faster and faster!  But mew know I hate to give spoilers, so I'll say this; it's a lovely, well thought out story with so many wonderpurr characters along the way.  There are a couple of bitter-sweet moments, but mew know effury big adventure needs those moments to make the joyous ones even better.

I have to mention the totally adorable illustrations, they are gorgeously cute and really made me smile.

If mew're a fan of Herms, and mew haven't read it, then I think mew really need to get a copy as soon as pawsible!

Wordy on Wednesday with Humphrey ~ Review of Murder Past Due

with

Humphrey

Wednesday greetings supurr furiends

Today, as mew may have already surmised Humphrey is here sharing this week's top book pick.

We know many of mew are literary kitties and love a good yarn, purrdon the pun, and yes string, yarn, twine, cord and the like are all most marvellous time wasters but if mew have free time to spare Humphrey thinks mew may enjoy this novel.

Now as the P.A. has to go to work daily to meet our demanding demands, then be at our beck and call fur the remaining hours in the day, plus all the other jobs that need doing, she doesn't have time to sit and read, so she listens [as do we] to audiobooks while she toils - she calls it multi-tasking - she's listened to audiobooks since being a small fry and finds it most enjoyable.

Offur the years she's gone from spoken wurd cassettes to CD's and finally in 2009 to the Audible App, which she says is a truly terrific invention. She also has a Kindle with a gazillion books on, waiting to be read but unless we develop some cloning tech in the secret bunker they aren't going to be read anytime soon! MOL

So anyhoo, let's get back to Humphrey top book pick.

BBHQ Purrsonal Copy

Murder Past Due is the furst novel in the Cat in the Stacks series by Miranda James.

It features a supurr smart Maine coon kitty called Diesel who rather casually assists his hooman, Charlie Harris in the solving of murders.

While we won't ruin anything by 'spoilerizing' this novel fur mew, we can say it was fun to listen too, with great narration and a good set of plot twists to keep mew listening and entertained.  It's classed as a Cozy Mystery so it's basically a PG rating, thus if mew're looking fur a light read this is absolutely purrfect. 

The audio version is 8 hours 46 mins long, just in case mew're were wundering how many treat breaks and naps mew can fit in between chapters! MOL

And if mew've already read it or listened to it, what did mew think?

Just so mew don't get lost with Humphrey's ratings, he made a rather nifty little diagram which he calls:
