He’s cunning. He’s brilliant… He is a Cat

Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat Volume 1 by Johnny Marciano

by Leave a Comment

Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat Volume 1 had two things going for it when I picked it up: First, it was a short novel and second, it was something I normally did not read fitting the criteria of this year (read novels and things not normally read). Klawde is a new series (volume two and volume three are also out; volume four due in May 2020) by Johnny Marciano and Emily Chenoweth. It is humorous, a little raunchy at times and is a slightly different […]

Delightful stubbornness

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

by Leave a Comment

A Man Called Ove is about a delightfully stubborn widower in Sweden. He has a strict logic that he applies to the world. He yearns for consistency and routine. Anyone who deviates from the order is likely inefficient and an idiot in his mind. He is suspicious of most things and prefers to abstain from all social things. I enjoyed his rising frustration at the computer store when he attempts to buy a computer. Despite his crankiness, Ove fell in love with a woman named […]

SumoKitty: scourge of mice

SumoKitty by David Biedrzycki

by Leave a Comment

David Biedrzycki has a cute book about a cat that shows the sumo wrestlers a few tricks after they show him how to be the best kitty he knows how to be. Yet, I am much more interested in the real SumoKitty (only shown in a brief photograph cameo at the end) that inspired the book SumoKitty. And I want to know more about Sumo wrestlers as the terminology that is given on the page alongside the story is nice, but I want more.  And […]

Awww kittens are soooo cute! They just snuggle up on the pages and just are…cute! They are fluffy and adorable and sweet and look so cute in their hardhats. Must post to social media. Never mind that these kittens in Kitten Construction Company: Meet the House Kittens by John Patrick Green are architects, plumbers, electricians and more. These kittens know how to build! They know how to light things up! They know how to plumb the plumbing! Never mind how cute they are… just take them […]

Time Spent With Cats is Never Wasted

The Complete Chi's Sweet Home, Part 1 by Kanata Konami, Ed Chavez (Translator)

by Leave a Comment

I’m pretty sure I’ve never read manga before I picked up The Complete Chi’s Sweet Home. I know some of the reasons I didn’t pick one up before, (honestly, I blame Sailor Moon TV Show – I didn’t like it at all and there’s something about the overly large eyes typical of manga that bothers me) but it was mostly just a decision I had made that the manga/comics section of the bookstore or library wasn’t for me. I was wrong. While I read more […]
