**FELINE FICTION FIX** Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #293 featuring **A Cat's Guide To Bonding with Dragons** by Chris Behrsin PLUS Friendly Fill-Ins

Hello meautiful library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today and this week, I've been feeling a little melancholy, and whether that's because another birthday is nearly upon me, I don't know.

I'm nearly 22, for cods sake, that's like 300 years old in human years, and I've still got all my fur! MOL

Anyhoo, I hope mew'll all come to my birthday pawty next Purrsday, the 24th of October as Pandora and I are having another spook'a'licious night of fun here at BBHQ, and we'd love it if mew joined us.

 

A quick word of warning, for fluff's sake stay away from Humphrey's latest drinks offering. He's been making catnip cider, and he's called it Stong Claw Catnip Cider or S-C-C-C for short. I did partake in a wee dram of it the other evening, and I lost two days of my life! MOL

 So I'm just giving a quick heads up, just in case he offers mew a bottle of it.

Anyhoo, let's 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. My favourite Halloween movie is _____________________.

2. People always ask me for my recipe for _______________________.

3. I go to _________ when I need help.

4. If I had to spend a night in a haunted house, I would bring _________ with me.

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

1. My favourite Halloween movie is Hocus Pocus. A classic of its time and still great fun.

2. People always ask me for my recipe for my Yorkshire puddings. They're legendary in the entire Mewton-Clawson district and beyond. If you like a really good Yorkshire pudding, I can make that happen! LOL 

3. I go to _________ when I need help. It would depend on the type of help I may require, as to whom I would approach, but I have a nice little cache of peeps I can rely on. But usually, it is my furbulous husband, aka Cat Dad, who is always first on my Call for Help list! LOL

4. If I had to spend a night in a haunted house, I would bring _________ with me. Well, it depends on whether it was a good haunted house or a bad haunted house, but I always find it best to be prepared with these things, so I would have a full ghost-busting kit with me just in case, oh and a fluffy blanket and matching pillow, and a torch, with a backup torch! LOL

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

This week's top book pick is...

A Cat's Guide To Bonding with Dragons

Dragoncat Book 1

by 

Chris Behrsin

       Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

The unlikely duo who might just save the world

Ben must be the hungriest cat ever…

One moment, he was enjoying a breakfast of salmon trimmings in his home in South Wales. The next, he was teleported across time and space onto the cold stone floor of an evil warlock.

Locked in the warlock’s tower through day and night, Ben may have to serve him for a while. He'll hate this, especially having to hunt those infernal demon rats when the warlock doesn’t feed him well at all.

So, what did I think of Dragoncat Book One? 

Mew will think I've got dragons on the brain, but honestly, I could have done with this guide before I embarked on my disastrous dragon-riding escapades the other week. Let me tell mew, it was a tail-spinning adventure that I could have used some tips for! MOL 

In A Cat's Guide to Bonding with Dragons, mew will embark on a whimsical adventure that brings together an unlikely duo in a quest to save the world, and we know all about saving the world! MOL

The tale begins with Ben, a purrpetually hungry Bengal cat, who is unceremoniously transported to the cold, stone floor of an evil warlock's tower after enjoying a breakfast of salmon trimmings in South Wales. Locked in the tower, Ben faces the daunting task of serving the warlock and hunting infernal demon rats while struggling with the warlock's inadequate provisions.

Meanwhile, at a distant dragon academy, a bored dragon awaits a suitable bond to ride into battle against the forces of evil. As the dragon yearns for a companion with the dexterity to fulfil this role, a thrilling and heartwarming journey unfolds, promising excitement, humour, and a heartwarming tale of friendship.

The world-building is supurr fun, but what really steals the show are the characters. As the story unfolds, the plot takes shape, creating a highly readable and amusing book that will leave mew feeling connected and invested in the characters' journey. The book is filled with wit and charm, making this a delightful read for anypawdy who enjoys a good adventure with a touch of humour. A Cat's Guide to Bonding with Dragons is a captivating tale that will leave mew wholly invested in the unlikely duo's thrilling escapades.

And here's the best part, this title is available in the Kindle Unlimited catalogue, so mew can dive into this delightful adventure as part of your subscription.

A Totally Top Paw start to a nine-book series!

And mew know how much I love a long series! MOL

Ages: 8 -18 years, but anypawdy who loves a book with a cat in it!

Paperback: 214 pages

Audio: 7 hours 40 mins

**FELINE FICTION FIX** Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #292 featuring **A Not So Purrfect Hex** by D. Watts PLUS Friendly Fill-Ins

Hello meautiful library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today, and this week it's been rather quiet in the library, and the mice are getting ready to take a three day vacation to the pub across the road. Apparently, there's a mini food festival, so they're going to help themselves and try all the delicacies on offer.

And I know that they're having time off, and I refused Melvyn's request last week, but this is why. The mice are off, so Melvyn can't be. Mew know it's simple staff logistics, and I don't know why some purrsons just can't grasp it!

This was me yesterday, enjoying the heated floor in the catservatory, and I must say it is rather therapeutic for my old, arthritic bones!

And yes, I know I've got eye snot, but I did warn the P.A. most vehemently that I WAS NOT IN THE MOOD to have my face cleaned, and if she wanted to keep all her digits, she needed to step away from the flannel! MOL

Anyhoo let's 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 _____________________ when I feel overwhelmed.

2. My favorite streaming service is_____________________.

3. I try to help _________ when I can.

4. I could tell a scary story about _________.

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

1. I retreat at BBHQ when I feel overwhelmed. There's no place like home.

2. My favourite streaming service is Netflix. But even then, there's not much to watch because A: If it's a decent movie, I've probably already watched it. Or B: If it's a TV show, they usually cancel the ones I like after one season.

3. I try to help anipal charities when I can. The B Team just sent fifteen snuggle mats and a big bag full of toys to a cat rescue not far from Erin the Cat Princess.

4. I could tell a scary story about THE B TEAM! LOL! In fact, I've got lots of scary stories about The B Team! LOL And guess what? I've started to write The Purrminator, which is the adventure between The Clockwork Labyrinth and Claws of Terror, the scary story of how Basil went to meet The M Unit in 2033 to save Melvyn. So, if you'd like to read it, let me know, and I'll see if I can serialise it like the others.

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

A Not So Purrfect Hex

A Cotswold Cat Familiar Cozy Mystery Book 3

by 

D. Watts

       Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

Now, it seems her foes are more fur-midable than ever...Felicity Knight always tries to mind her own business, but coming to grips with being a witch makes total neutrality quite the trick...and that’s not to mention her untimely penchant for stumbling onto crime scenes.

When Felicity and her father, George, discover the body of a woman (whose local witch tour was followed by true horror), resistance is futile. It’s a case that must be cracked.

As if a new murder mystery isn’t enough for Felicity and her feline familiar, Atticus, something strange is brewing at The River Inn and needs attention. Spirits, however, prove stubborn, and addressing a haunting is daunting.

Previously reviewed books in The Cotswolds Cat Familiar Cozy Mystery Books

A Not So Purrfect Murder ~ Book One

A Not So Purrfect Culprit ~ Book Two

The other day, when I was picking a book to review today from my ever growing to-read list, I stumbled upon this one. And it's been quite a while since I reviewed books one and two, so I thought it would be nice to jump back into the series and see what happens next!

A Not So Purrfect Hex is the third instalment of D. Watts' Cotswold Cat Familiar Cozy Mystery series, and it doesn't disappoint at all, as mew are treated to a captivating tale filled with more intrigue and magic.

The story follows our protagonist, Felicity Knight, as she navigates the challenges of recently discovering she's a witch and trying to come to terms with her new powers. Not only that, her cat familiar, Atticus, who does have a pleasant amount of snark and cattitude happening, sometimes doesn't help the cause at all! MOL

And if that's not enough to deal with, she has the misfortune to stumble upon yet another mysterious crime scene in the quaint village she lives in. The story weaves together elements of witchcraft, a compelling murder mystery, and the supernatural, all set against the backdrop of the enchanting Cotswold countryside.

It has an engaging plot, and the characters continue to develop, so mew feel invested in their journey as mew read the series. There is a touch of romance, but nowhere near as spicy as last week's book. This a purrfect Sunday afternoon read and is sure to enchant readers who love cozy cat mysteries with a touch of the mystical and magical.

If mew are subscribed to Kindle Unlimited, it is available within their catalogue to read as part of your subscription.

Another Totally Top Paw Addition To The Series!
