*waves paw*

Hello gorgeous library guests and welcome to my private library

What a week we've had, our pawty finally ended, Halloween is done fur another year and the winners of our Birthday Give-Away have been announced. And I'm feeling much better too, so great news all round! MOL


Oh, I have such exciting news, mew remember last month, when we got the Golden Ticket to go to the Manchester Pet Show and Bob the Street Cat was there?  Well mew'll neffur guess what... something furry wunderpurr happened aftur the P.A. and Dad left. As the queue was so huge to meet Bob in purrson, one of the fabulous organisers who the P.A. knows at the show furry kindly asked Bob to sign a couple of books fur me, and HE DID!!!! 

OH MY COD Bob, the main dude actually wrote my name, can mew believe it!!! I feel so humbled and blessed, in fact I thought Catmas had come early! MOL

The lovely lady got him to dedicate one to me purrsonally, which I shall cherish fur effur and effur and effur. 

AND I've got another one to give away to one lucky reader here. So later in the month we'll be having a little competition to win a signed copy of Bobs book, how exciting is that? EPICALLY EXCITING!

Bob, if mew effur read this; thank mew so much fur signing the books, mew have no idea how happy mew made me, oodles of purrs Amber.

  And aftur all that excitement, I shall peel myself off the ceiling and I think it's time to share this weeks top pick.

This week I'm sharing

Complete Series: Eli Carter & The Ghost Hackers - Paranormal Mysteries Books 1-3

by

Angela Pepper


Here's a little snippet of the book blurbs:

BOOK 1:

Eli Carter is a smart (yet strange) guy trapped in a dead-end career.

When he meets smooth-talking Khan Hart, a self-proclaimed necromancer, he's given the opportunity to become a hero.

BOOK 2:

Former delivery driver Eli Carter has a new job hunting ghosts.

His boss, smooth-talking Khan Hart, assures him their first official case is an easy one. A slam dunk. A home run.

BOOK 3:

Eli Carter is enjoying his new role as a para-professional, ridding the city of unwanted Disturbances.

A flurry of bookings brings the team to the suburbs, where residents are overrun with poltergeists and tiny dogs. They love the dogs, but want the ghosts gone.

*    *    *

I thought I'd share a paranormal cosy mystery series this week and what a fun series it is.

The author, Angela Pepper has written quite a few books and I've reviewed others before which mew can find by clicking here

Mew know I don't do spoilers, but I will say its highly entertaining and quite comical at times. Eli, the main character is a total oddball who has a rather bullish girlfriend and is stuck in an unsatisfactory job, until one day fate intervenes and opens up a whole new career path fur him.

Now mew may be wundering is there a cat in this series? Yes there is, but not in the conventional sense; the kitty character is a spooky cat-wraith, who while not having a huge role within the story, does pop up here and there.

I'm giving this series four and a half paws, fur the simple reason I wished it was longer as I felt it could have gone on fur at least another few books; by the end of book three the characters/plotline were starting to get really interesting, but that aside it is a fab little bite-sized series, which if mew love the paranormal vibe, mew'll really enjoy this.

Feline Fiction on Fridays #77 at Amber's Library featuring my **Top 10 Feline Halloween Books**

Welcome To

Supurr spooky salutations pawesome furriends

*waves paw and broomsitck*

The Witching Hour is almost upon us! 

MUWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAAAAA

Now I've got the obligatory cackling out of the way, let's talk books...

I've been searching fur the ultimate kitty Halloween novel fur ages and ended up compiling a modestly small list at Amazon; so I thought rather than just share one Halloween book, I'd share a list of all the one's I have paw-marked fur my library.  But before we dive into my Top 10 Feline Halloween Books, I thought mew all needed to see me in my uber cute orange costume; I make a purrfect familiar fur The P.A. MOL MOL [But don't tell her I called her a witch! MOL MOL] 
Quickly before we dive into book-wurld, I'll just mention that our joint Birthday Pawty is still raging in the bunker if mew want to stop by and have some cake, a drink or two and enter our fab Birthday Give-Away. We have a few pawty stragglers left in the forest but Deezul is doing his rounds and will herd them them up in no time!  I did warn them not to drink Smooch's Mind Bender Nip Cocktail; see what happened here on New Years Eve when we had some, and I've just had new intel that since then Smooch has tweaked the formula! EEEK! OOPS! MOL!



Now I think it's time to share my top reads fur Halloween 2018

**Top 10 Feline Halloween Books** 

Sorry we had to remove the links



Have mew read any of them? And if mew have, tell me all!!!

Just before I go and get snuggled in front of the woodburner fur the foreseeable future; many apologies from all The B Team that there wasn't Clockwurk Labyrinth Chapter this week, the Catnip Pumpkins and Spooky Haunted House Crafting with Cats project took precedence, but neffur fear we will begin the epically exciting conclusion next week!

And finally, Fudge will be here in the morning sharing our special Halloween Edition of Crafting with Cats.

*    *    *

Sadly it's time fur me to say BFN or bye-fur-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and I'll be back next week with another specially paw-picked book just fur mew. And don't furget that all my previous reviews can be found on my Book Review page, plus if mew'd like an exclusive Library Card fur speshal access to my library, just email me at:

Feline Fiction on Fridays at Amber's Library featuring ~ **Prancie's Prayer ** by Ellen J. Pilch ~ Review #75

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

Happy Friday guys and how's your week been?  

OH MY COD, my week was going swimmingly well until the P.A. saw that I was drinking rather a lot earlier in the week, so I was whizzed up to the vets on Wednesday morning fur a check-up - PFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT!!!

Anyhoo, I had a little kidney inflammation, so I had a blood test done and effurything was in their normal parameters except fur one of my kidney enzymes which was slightly elevated, so they did another test and the good news is all my levels are spot on - PHEW!

So I've been given a little medication to help sooth and reduce the inflammation and hopefully that will sort it out. But obviously the P.A. is watching me like a hawk and I feel like I'm under a microscope right now. 



I have arthritis too, which has been monitored offur the last few months since it started to appear, but now I'm at the stage where I need a little assistance with pain management, so the vets have given me some medicine to help with that too, and with a bit of luck I should be feeling oodles better in the next few days, thank cod.

Thank mew fur all the well wishes on FB and many thanks to my beautiful sisfurs at The Crotchety Cougars Club fur purring up a healing storm fur me, ladies mew are epically epic and I love mew all - muwah - kisses to mew all. 

Oh and just before we get to this weeks pawesome book, I have more good news ~ none of the other B Team memfurs have eaten my grass or pee'd on my bed, not mentioning any names, SMOOCH! MOL

And now I think it's time to share this weeks book.

This week I'm sharing

Here's the book blurb:

Prancie's Prayer is the story of an orange cat who finds herself homeless one cold winter. She has trouble finding something to eat and a warm place to sleep, but with a little help from above, she finds all of that and more in her wonderful forever home.

*    *    *

I was just admiring the cover before I settled in the Sky Lounge to read Prancie's Prayer when Fudge came in and asked...


Guess what? Fudge doesn't have a valid library card, or any library card fur that matter, so he isn't going to be reading Prancie's Prayer anytime soon! MOL


Anyhoo, let me tell mew about this gorgeous little book; it's written by our uber fab furriends from 15 and Meowing, mew should go check our their epic blog if mew haven't already, but I digress, Prancie's Prayer is such a delightful story and tells the tale of how Prancie got her furever home just before Catmas.

Abandoned and alone aftur being dumped by her previous peeps, Prancie had the extreme good fortune to arrive on the doorstep of Ellen, she really did pick the right house fur sure, and the rest is history; Prancie's purrayers were definitely answered.

There are full-page colour illustrations throughout which are absolutely amazing and really make the story come to life, and fur those of mew who have young children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews this would make a purrfect gift.  And if mew don't have any children, but love cats, I'm sure mew'd love it as much as I did.

I think this would make a pawesome gift fur Catmas, so if mew're looking for a really lovely tale, I cannot recommend Prancie's Prayer enough!

Thank mew Aunty Ellen and all at 15 & Meowing fur sending me my furry own purrsonal copy, and I've got it safely stashed away because it's all mine! MOL 


15 and Meowing are having a give-away to win a copy of Prancie's Prayer on Goodreads, and mew have until the 29th of October to enter!
