This was an excellent reading week. Having TWO A+ books certainly helped! If you haven’t had a chance to get into Kingfisher, I can’t recommend her work highly enough. She’s just plain awesome, and she’s fun! And Molly O’Neill’s Greenteeth was just lovely and magical and lyrical and OMG it’s her debut. So if you’re looking for excellent reads, there are two right there! The Girl from Greenwich Street was marvelously compelling – which is hard to do when it’s easy to look up how the story ends. Even the two that weren’t quite up to the others were still fun for this reader because they were part of series(es) that I’m faithfully following.
It’s fortunate for me that the books were good, because that cold is STILL lingering and I haven’t stopped coughing even yet. On that front it’s been a DAMN long week but the books have certainly helped. The cats are starting to give me the evil eye because I’m incapable of sitting still and being QUIET for them to take care of me.
Today’s cat picture is of a combo we haven’t seen a lot of since Tuna and George started buddying up. That’s Tuna in the top ‘bunk’, but it’s Luna in the bottom bunk. The top is usually for checking out the ‘kitty television’ in the backyard but this time it seems as if the humans were more interesting than whatever was going on outside!

Well done on the book selection! I’m glad your reads have been good. I will definitely look these books up. I have yet to find my four- and five-star books this year. Hopefully, you will make a full recovery soon and finally leave your cats to take care of you, haha. My mother has seven cats! Two of them I rescued when I was in high school, so technically, they are mine, but I live with her in Italy. I do miss my felines; yours are so cute.Happy reading, and keep the good book rolling 🙂
I have 2 cats too and love the phrase ‘kitty television! My oldest cat is a Tuxedo, she was being given away at a WM with her siblings. Her “kitty television is the L.R. window. My youngest cat is a Domestic Shorthair that someone put with her siblings inside a unlocked work truck where my son works after they were born. I bottle fed her until she was weened and then my son wanted to take her and find a home for her. I told him no way, her home was with me. Her “kitty television’s are my bedroom windows.
