My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It hasn’t been that long ago that I got a phone call while I was at my writers’ meeting that my Panda, a beautiful tuxedo cat, had passed away while playing with his cat mate. Must have been a heart attack, we had decided, but we miss him lots. So when I saw the cover of this book with a near twin to Panda, I had to pick it up. It didn’t hurt that it was free. (Now it is $3.99)

What a great way to teach a historical event, through the eyes of the cat, and sometimes the dog. These two pets are on a ship that is in the war. This is not from an American point of view but rather from the British side. That is a part of history not taught in our US schools so this is a cool way to teach about ship and the war and how it might have felt to be a cat with bombs and guns going off. Poor little creatures can’t understand yet they do their best for the nice people who take care of them.

Often I found the narrative from the cat’s mind seemed either too smart or not smart enough. In other words, in my life with cats this point of view often didn’t ring true. But then again, who knows what those furry friends think anyway? It’s worth the read, and I think sailors would love it even more.

Review: Odds and Ends by Audrey Claire

Odds and Ends (Margot and Odds Cozy Mystery Book 1)Odds and Ends by Audrey Claire
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It made me sad that I didn’t like this story more. After all it has a female main character who is not a teenager, is, in fact, a senior citizen. They can have adventures, too, you know! But I’m afraid I could never relate to the main character. She seems so helpless and often foolish. And the other characters were equally less than real.

I did like the cat.

Maybe you will like it more. Could be I am distracted by the move and all. Maybe I’ll try it again after my life settles down.
