Welcome To
With Amber ~ The Self-Appointed Biblio-Kitty
Wunderpurr greetings fellow book lovers
Here's hoping mew've had a truly fabulous week thus far.
Last week, mew may remember that I had a little issue regarding buying more credits from Audible and the P.A. was most unsympathetic to my plight.
Anyhoo the other day the P.A. decided to buy this:
Mew can read all about the Tank on Fridays post, but while Basil and the guys were off doing something else I decided that critical action was needed to get my point across regarding my 'zero' credit position at Audible, so I got my furry caboose in that tank, drove it into the lounge and faced the P.A. who was sitting on the sofa watching some Ancient Aliens show on the TV with her headphones on.
Please turn your speakers on to get the full effect
So there I was sitting in my tank, the P.A. completely riveted to watching something about some pyramids in a dry and dusty desert a gazillion years ago and completely oblivious to the fact that I was in the room, in my tank, fully armed and highly and most unequivocally dangerous!
Well I couldn't believe it when she finally glanced my way, took her headphones off and said. "Oh wow Amber, don't you look completely adorable in the little tank!"
This was so NOT the reaction I was expecting, and then she had the utter nerve to say. "You're just so cute!"
CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!
ARE MEW FREAKING KIDDING ME???
I AM A HIGHLY SKILLED AND DANGEROUS KITTY COMMANDO AND I HAVE A FULLY ARMED TANK POINTED AT MEW AND MEW CALL ME CUTE, ARE MEW RETARDED OR SOMETHING?
Then... then, she had the gall to laugh, yes mew heard me, she laughed in my face, like what kind of nutjob is she? Who would be laughing when the barrel of a tank was aimed at them, LIKE OMC!!! Mew know I really do sometimes wunder about her sanity, or lack thereof as obviously she has no sense of danger at all.
Trying to keep my composure because at this point I was bristling all offur, my paw was shaking just above the fire button and I said, my voice as cold as ice. "I need more credits or else!"
What do mew think the P.A.'s reaction to that was?
And if mew could meme my picture, what would it say?
We'll finish this story next week...
Anyhoo it's time to get stuck into this weeks book pick.
This week on book reviews with Amber, I'm sharing

A Spirited Tail
(Mystic Notch Cozy Mystery Series Book 2)
By
Here's the book blurb courtesy of Amazon UK:
Middle-aged bookstore owner Willa Chance is looking forward to the opportunity of appraising a valuable private library that hasn't seen the light of day for fifty years ... until she finds a dead body in the backyard and the ghost of the home's previous owner anxiously waiting for her inside.
Hampered by the persistent ghost who insists on keeping secrets from her, Willa navigates a sea of confusing clues as she struggles to uncover the connection between the recent murder and two murders fifty years ago.
Is the answer contained in the secret she found in the library? Or the unusual bequest left by the long-dead owner of the house? Or maybe it has something to do with the mysterious journal that everyone seems to be after.
Once again, Willa's cat Pandora has to help her figure out the clues, while she and the other cats of Mystic Notch try to keep vital mystical knowledge from getting into the wrong hands.
Can Willa discover the identity of the killer in time or will she end up being the fourth victim?

I reviewed Book 1 & then Book 5 don't ask me why I was doing a 'backwards road-round' thing because I have no idea! MOL But here we are with book 2, which is totally pawesome, Pandora is back with all her usual gusto trying to train Willa to help keep evil away from Mystic Notch.
As the previous novels it is furry hard to put down, furry hard as the story is so well plotted and mew just can't help but have to see what happens next.
I love this series so much and can't praise it enough. I do prefer the audio versions as the narrator brings the story to life in such a fabulous way and each character has their own voice so mew can just see the action unfolding in your minds eye as mew're listening to it.
Brilliant, read it, but my advice is listen to it!
Paperback copy: 354 pages
Audio Edition: 7 hours
