Feline Fiction on Fridays #101 at Amber's Library featuring **The Tiger Fierce** by Timmy

Welcome To

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

Good morning dearest furriends

*WELCOME BACK TO THE LIBRARY*

Hello gorgeous library guests, did mew miss me over the summer jollies? I missed all of mew terribly, my library does seem awfully quiet when its closed fur the jolly holly's.

Anyhoo that aside, I'm bigger and better than ever before [yes, I may have put on a pound or two over the holidays] and I have news; as mew know I'm getting on in years - I'll be 17 next month - and have developed a rather crotchety demeanour in latter years.  So what does this mean exactly, I hear mew ask?

Well dearest furriends, it means I've got to an age where I feel it necessary to NOT suffer; fools, stupidity, ignoramuses, incompetence, foolish notions and books being placed on wrong shelves in my library etc, etc... just to name a few.

And I have an overwhelming need to express my grumpy-side and short-temperedness with wild abandon should the need arise - which it does more often than not - and apparently it's because I'm going through the *Meowopause. [*we can talk more about this in another post].

Therefore I decided I needed an outlet for my angry outbursts; which at times erupt out of the blue much like Vesuvius in AD 79, completely unexpected and extremely volatile.

 So as part of my therapy and wellness journey as prescribed by Dr. Basil Widdairs, who has these rather impurressive credentials:-
Ph.D. in Kitteh Psychology  

BSc (Hons) Headology  

Psy.D. Furry Logic

 MS. Fuzzy Logic and Woolly Thinking

MA. Common Sense   

I have now obtained my very own Angry Instagram Account [A.I.A.] to use as an 'angry outlet' which mew may follow at your own peril by clicking the link below:

@angry_amber_badtemperedkitty

As mew can see I'm expressing myself fully and loving it! MOL 

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

This week I'm sharing one of our new Instagram pals book...

The Tiger Fierce 

by 

Timmy

Here's A Small Snippet of The Book Blurb

About three-and-a-half years ago, Timmy put his paw to writing a guest post for a blog for the first time, and it turned out to be the most popular post of the year. He hasn't looked back since.

Most recently, he has demonstrated that it actually is possible to teach an old Cat new tricks. He has recently published a book, and has now converted into an ebook. You are looking at it. Enjoy!

>^.^<

So what did I think of Timmy's book, I thought it was 21 pages of utter adorableness!

Plus Timmy looks an awful lot like me, so how can I not like it! MOL 

The book is a collection of gorgeous photo's that tell the story of The Tiger Fierce aka Timmy; it is super cute and Timmy is actually epically handsome too, so drooling over looking at his photo's was an afternoon well spent.

This little book will make mew smile, and is purrfect if mew love cats - which of course mew do, as mew wouldn't be here with me if mew didn't! MOL

GOOD LUCK!!!

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

This week I'm sharing

The Timeless Teachings of Guru Zuzu

as told to

Tony Broadbent

Here's a small snippet of the book blurb:

When author Tony Broadbent began observing his cat Zuzu in all her daily wanderings, he found she led him to new pathways of thought, new insights, and an unexpected trove of wisdom.

In tribute to the beloved little Bombay pussycat he took as his teacher, Tony has collected some of the teachings of Guru Zuzu into this enchanting little book.

**Furstly I have to let mew all know that I was given a free copy of this book in exchange fur a fair review**

I loved this little book, the gems of wisdom are pawesome; Guru Zuzu was THE MASTER!

One of my fav quotes is on page 36 and it begins...

NEVER FORGET
WHO AND WHAT
YOU ARE

There are 5 more lines, but mew know I'm not going to spoilerize it fur mew! MOL

This is one of those books that mew read and suddenly mew remember to take a breath and furget about the hustle and bustle of 21st-century life - read the quotes, resonate with them, then feel refreshed and invigorated.  Look at the cute illustrations and smile, as they will make mew smile.

The Timeless Teachings of Guru Zuzu is epically epic and I loved it.  This would be the purrfect companion fur our Colouring with Cats ~ Mandalas on Monday's post.

Would I recommend it to mew?  If mew're looking fur a little inspiration, or purrhaps a different purrspective in your life I think mew'll really enjoy Guru Zuzu's wisdom, I know I did.

A really clever, interesting and entertaining little book.

Many thanks to Monique the Publicity Director at New World Library fur sending me a copy.

Feline Fiction on Tuesdays #99.5 at Amber's Library featuring **I Am Not A Skunk** by Ellen J. Pilch

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 much earlier in the week than normal, though there is a furry good reason fur this.

Last week I got a wunderful surprise in the post from my lovely Auwnty Ellen who writes the fabulous blog 15&Meowing, anyhoo I digress so in the envelope was her latest book fur younger readers which I thought was absolutely pawesome.

So I thought, fantastic I can review that next week... and then it hit me, not literally just figuratively that I only had one more review to go before my summer vay-cay and that was already booked up and had been fur a couple of weeks.

OMC, mew can imagine my horror when I realised I hadn't got a spare slot before my impending jolly hollies - OH MY WHAT A TODO!

So I had a little meltdown, while I considered my options...

Then it hit me again, not literally just figuratively that I'd have an inbetweener slot, so here we are with review 99.5! MOL 

ENJOY!!!!

Today I'm sharing

I Am Not A Skunk

by 

Ellen J. Pilch

Here's a small snippet of the book blurb:

I Am Not a Skunk is Ellen Pilch's second picture book. It is about a homeless kitty excited to find a family, but must first convince them she is not a skunk. It is loosely based on how the author's cat, Emmy came to live with her.

I reviewed Auwnty Ellen's furst book called Prancie's Prayer last October, which I heartily recommend, and I was absolutely delighted to get a surprise copy of; I Am Not A Skunk in the post.

This is such a cute book fur youngsters and adults alike, a great little story and it has NO SKUNKS in it whatsoeffur! MOL 

The illustrations are amazing and really do enhance the tale, but as mew know I don't do spoilers here, though I will say this, I think this is purrfect to teach younger readers compassion and kindness towards anipals, and I would recommend it without hesitation, and in my humble opinion it would make a purrfect gift fur any cat lover too.
