Welcome To


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


Supurr salutations pawesome furriends

*waves paw*

Oh my supurr furriends, how are mew all, did mew miss me last week while I was sunning my on the exotic isle of Fiji?

I had a totally brilliant time until I got home and was promplty ambushed with an intervention.

Appurrently I have SABA...


"It's SEVERE ACUTE BOOK ADDICTION Amber!" Basil replied.

Well tell me something I don't know!!! MOL  But seriously what library cat doesn't have a penchant fur a book or two, or a few hundred?  It's purrfectly normal.

Then I was subjected to an hour and a half of stern talking regarding my spending habits and that I now owe Parsley £350.02p fur the heating bill in the library, plus £4.22p fur chocolate chip cookies fur the library mice and a further £57.88p fur books.  Ok Ok Ok I admit it... I have no income stream, I'm a cat fur Pete's sake [whoeffur the heck Pete is???] so why would I have an income stream? And yes I do take it fur granted that all my wishes will be granted as and when I want... almost...

Retreating to my library, I thought long and hard about what effuryone said, and realized that as an aging, senior pussy the tips aren't that great at the lap dancing club, and those cheapskate, pervert badgers are the wurst tippers effur!  Though I do enjoy the wurk and socializing plus it gets me out of the house, so I got my thinking cap on and did a bit of research looking fur ways to increase my monetary flow.

I quickly read The Secret, and tried to mentally WILL myself some wealth, with some hard-core meditation and visualization techniques connecting to the universal flow of abundance... *snorts loudly* aftur 5 FULL minutes of acute concentration there was no humongous pile of riches and wealth before me, that didn't wurk!

So I went and got a pile of Basil's secret primo, extra-strong catnip stash to imbibe, to raise my consciousness to previously unreached levels of connection to the cosmic flow of mega riches.


And then I tried going out into nature to get fully grounded, thus raising my consciousness even higher...


I was furry disappointed as aftur a further 3 mins and 48.2 seconds of intensely fierce and rather potent concentration nothing had happened again... AND I was sure that was the fastest, easiest way to mega abundance in less than 9 minutes.

WRONG!

So I went back to google, expanding my search criteria and soon realized that I was doing myself an epically epic disservice by not being part of the Amazon Affiliates Program, so guess what?

 I joined up immediately and from now on all the book links I share will be linked to it, so if mew do decide to purrchase anything I review I'll get a rather modest commission.

FREEDOM IS FINALLY MINE!

At last I can be an independent cat and won't effur have to ask beg fur a paw out, and right now I'm feeling like a really empowered and a thoroughly modern 21st century kitty! MOL

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

This week I'm sharing 

Tea with Milk and Murder 

(Oxford Tearoom Mysteries ~ Book 2)


by 

HY Hanna

Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

While at an Oxford cocktail party, tearoom owner Gemma Rose overhears a sinister conversation minutes before a University student is fatally poisoned. Could there be a connection? And could her best friend Cassie's new boyfriend have anything to do with the murder?

*    *    *

Mew may remember I reviewed book 1 of this series a while ago and really enjoyed it, so before I jetted off to Fiji I decided to get as many of the series as I could in the audio version, so I had something to binge listen to while I was away.

Book 2 is fab, I originally gave book 1 a four paw rating but as I started to listen to book 2 and the story flowed, I felt the author had really got in her stride with the characters.

Muesli the cute tabby cat is also present, as mew know how much it bugs me when there's supposedly a kitty in the storyline and then the kitty hardly appears throughout.

As mew know I won't spoilerize anything fur mew, as I feel it's impawtant fur effuryone to make their own minds up about things, but I will say this; I really, really enjoyed this and am currently just finishing book 4*, so if that doesn't tell mew something, then I don't know what will! MOL

[*I didn't have as much free time as I thought, but what happened in Fiji, stays in Fiji.]
