Greetings you all! So sorry that we missed you last week. The days whirl away in a blast of sunshine and 25 hour days. But still not enough hours to get to the blog as much as we would like to. I think I’m going to ask Daddy to trade my Nibbles for Bar One chocolates. That one extra hour a day might help my Mommy to read and blog a bit more. If you don’t know what a Bar One chocolate is, it’s the South African version of a Mars Bar. Just better.  Anyhows – what have you been up to? What books are new on your shelf? We have quite a few to share with you! Adding to the Litter I’m starting to pick up the trend here with my Mommy. When she is stressed out, or over-worked, her comfort drug is books. Let’s rather not complain about it at all. It could have been way worse.  For Review                  The Disappearance of Emily by Elizabeth Pantley – From the lovely author herself The Ice Swan by J’Nell Ciesielski – Netgalley The Journey (Death Island #1) by Kelsey Ketch – Lola’s Blog Tours Bookbub & Daily Deals    […]

Happy Valentine’s Day! I do hope you are all feeling loved today and spreading that love all around you. Even if it’s only on your cat. There are many hugs and kisses in our house today and I know that I should know how lucky and fortunate I am. I do know it and a small part of me, okay a huge chunk – feels I deserve it. It’s not my fault the Good Lord above decided to make me as cute and adorable as a little angel.  How have you all been doing? Yes, I can imagine how dreadful it must be missing us so much. Over the past 2 weeks, we’ve only managed 3 posts. Even more dreadful, I know. We are doing quite good. My Mommy’s hip is much better, but she is turning into one of those irritating Verimark advertisements – But wait! There’s more! After going for her annual medical check-up, she know also sports high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The blood pressure needs to be monitored, but the cholesterol needs a little pill every night.  Mommy and Daddy took a weekend breakaway last week and we were left home alone with our lovely […]

 Greetings all you lovely humans! How was your week? I can’t really tell you much as it felt as if I’ve hardly seen my Mommy at all. Strangest thing of all is that is actually suppose to be a big thing. Mommy was very busy at school and had lots of new enrolments. I would have preferred her rolling in at home though. And then karma kicked in. As she always does.  Women of a certain age, not quite Jane Fonda old and not quite capable of the Jane Fonda moves she pulled when she was young – are bound to hurt something by trying to pull those Jane Fonda moves. Instead of pulling the moves, my Mommy pulled a muscle in her hip. After hip-hopping (not the dance style, literally hopping on one hip) for a couple of days, she landed at the physio and came home on Thursday feeling bruised and sore and very sorry for herself. Of course I was right here to comfort her. Same thing on Friday, so thank you Karma! Unfortunately, she basically just went to sleep and didn’t do much reading or blogging at all.  Adding to the Litter      The Night […]

Greetings you all. First of all, a big big big big big big thank you to all of you for recommending watching Bridgerton on Netflix. It truly is the cure to many, many ailments. 2021 just got a bit better.  We are honestly not even going to complain about anything that happened this week and we actually can do quite a bit of that. But I’m quite sure The Dashing Duke of Hastings will just lift a condescending eyebrow and tell us to get over it in no uncertain terms.  Lady Whistledown’s scandalous society papers is exactly what we need to forget all about the world outside of Regency England. It’s never been my Mommy’s preferred reading destination or era, unless it’s Jane Austen or Georgette Heyer. Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes did a marvelous job of blending Regency England with modern day gossip and thrill seekers.  But wait, I think she is planning to do a post about this book-to-screen adaptation, so I better stop. Let’s talk books. Stacking the Shelves You are not going to believe this, but guess what my Mommy bought on Thursday: I know, I also didn’t see that one coming. And she’s done with […]

Greetings Dear Humans! How was your week? We’ve notice that there were a lot happening in the world outside our window this passed week, especially on the American Front. After 6 months of blogging, we’ve realized that we find out far more by reading everyone’s Sunday News than the news that get dished out on local and social networks. So please, do tell! We will sit quietly in our little corner of the world and just give a quick update of our week. The rest of the stage is all yours. Adding to the Litter For Review from Lola’s Blog Tours Purchased or Free Daily Deals       Scratching the Blog Pole We were remarkably busy this week! Mommy had a bit of schoolwork to do on Monday and Tuesday, but there were still plenty of time for some blogging. She will be back at work tomorrow morning, so don’t expect much in the upcoming week. *Sigh*. I’ll be alone. Only two dogs and 3 other cats for company. Oh woe is me.  On Monday, we did our very first Book Blitz. Sorry, correction here – I did my very first book blitz. So very chuffed with myself. Graphics are linked […]

 Greetings! It’s the Sunday after Christmas and the last one for 2020. Does anybody feel particularly nostalgic or like reminiscing the past year? We haven’t even done any planning for 2021 yet. My Mommy did receive a lovely new planner for 2021 and I guess maybe somewhere in the week she might start browsing through it and start to get excited for the new year that is just around the corner. How was your Christmas? Our Christmas Eve was lovely and Christmas day was rather quiet and uneventful. I was a very good girl this year regarding the tree, but the presents under the tree did tempt me a bit. I managed to control myself very well and only halfway destroyed two presents.   We’ve had a lovely, warm summer Christmas and if I were any of the holiday makers who are still not allowed on the beaches, no Christmas present will make me feel better at all.  Talking about presents, did you get a few nice ones? My aunt send my Mommy a whole bag of new clothes as she is the world’s best shopper and my Mommy the worst. She is normally here with us for Christmas and then […]
