Review: A Kid’s Guide to Cats: How to Train, Care for, and Play and Communicate with Your Amazing Pet!

A Kid’s Guide to Cats: How to Train, Care for, and Play and Communicate with Your Amazing Pet! A Kid’s Guide to Cats: How to Train, Care for, and Play and Communicate with Your Amazing Pet! by Arden Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an excellent and informative guide to looking after cats, designed for children. It has lovely, colourful illustrations and photographs throughout. It is packed with useful information, not only on how to care for your cat, but also on how to cheaply make toys, boxes, scratching posts and so on. I really love the fact that as well as the basics (food, water, vets etc), it also tells you how to train your cat - both for fun, and to make necessary things (eg nail trims, vet trips etc) far less stressful for you and your cat.

This guide wouldn’t be suitable for very young children (though you could read it to them), but is very much aimed at the child (or children) taking responsibility for looking after the pet themselves. If I had a child who wanted a cat, this would definitely be the guide I’d buy for them.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Sweet Mercies

Sweet Mercies by Anne Booth My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved Small Miracles, so I was thrilled to be offered a copy of Sweet Mercies (the sequel) to review. I was such a joy to return and spend time with the Sisters of Saint Philomena again. I loved the sense of community, both in the convent, and the wider area. It’s wonderful to see how all the characters are getting on, they feel like old friends. I especially loved the kittens, and their interactions with Sister Cecilia. The plot was great, I loved all the different threads running through the book, and the way they intertwined. I enjoyed the sense of history, and the way it all comes together in the end. Overall, this book was a joy to read, full of community and kindness. I really hope that there will be more books in the series. I’d love to learn more about Sister Cecilia’s past. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. View all my reviews

Review: The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter

The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter by Sue Moorcroft My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Sue Moorcroft books, and Christmas books, so I was excited to be invited to read The Christmas Love Letters. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the story relating to the love letters, and how they (eventually) brought people together. I loved the setting. Nelson’s Bar is clearly a beautiful place near the sea, and all the snow made the book seem extra Christmassy. The characters were also great. I loved Maddy, and the way she’s coped under difficult circumstances, and given Lyla such a lovely childhood. I really liked Raff too, and in fact all the other characters, with the exception of Harris. I understand his reasons, but that is not how you treat anyone you care about! Sue Moorcroft has produced another beautifully romantic and Christmassy story. I highly recomme

Review: The Ice Garden

The Ice Garden by Guy Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars A magical tale. I really enjoyed this book. I so felt for the main character, as I’m allergic to the sun too (though not to anything like the same extent). It is nice to see a book where disability is not magically fixed, but seen as something you have to learn to live with. View all my reviews
