I don't really understand #internationalcatday🐱 because EVERY DAY is Cat Day, hence why I am a little grumpy. Also the screens do not have my fish game on then, or my bird watching videos, and do you see any snacks? What kind of celebration is this?
I want to see the manager.

Get a needle in your eye, look spacey for a while. Fair swap!

I wake up, pull back the covers, and get this look from Toby

I get it, baby boy. I wish I could stay hiding away from the world all day too.

#catsky

Went outside to move things JUST IN CASE #stormfloris gets miffed with us and found the blackberry bush had hidden some berries from the birds. Not many but enough for me.

#fruit #blackberries🍇 #gardening

Time to do this again...

Judge away!

"Let's watch High Fidelity.", he said. "We have the DVD somewhere."

"I'm writing." (This was technically true, although I was in the blank screen staring part of the process)

"In a bit then."

"Well it might wake up the muse."

It's not really procrastinating if it's warming up my brain, is it?

A sweet love story with a whole bunch of murder. 😘 Another touching and hilarious book from @brynneweaver.bsky.social - an absolute joy.

Yep, there are a COUPLE of content warnings but it's heart wrenching and warming in equal measures!

Then he got really comfortable... And I gave up my plans to sleep a little more.

Mummy got out of bed for a few minutes and there was a warm spot so what was I supposed to do? Let it go cold?

No. I will not be moving. I need my beauty sleep and I've had a busy night. There are chairs downstairs for her to sleep on.

That moment when you have created a nest on the couch. You have a book and a snack. The cushions are hitting your back in the right spot and there is a blanket for your feet. Everything is right with the world and you will never be more comfortable.

Except

YOU LEFT YOUR TEA IN THE KITCHEN.

😥

So, it's #nationalpaperbackbookday and we are celebrating with tea and by not leaving the house.

I am just starting Leather and Lark by @brynneweaver.bsky.social ; and my husband is halfway through 'Til Death Do Us Bard @wordsofrablack.bsky.social

Are you celebrating with a book too?

#booksky

This book! Beautiful prose, and an ending that left me breathless. Highly recommend!

I arrived in this house 2 years old today!

I made the people my personal slaves and took over this house. Since then I have put my nose into everything and covered the rest in fur.

They love me and my wet paws, and I love them. Especially the cuddles and food.

#catsky

I adored this book. The story is fast paced and full of big realistic characters. @poppyfitzwrites.bsky.social 's writing made me really feel for Caleb and Eloise and their relationship.

I will be reading more of this series in the future!

A paperback copy of In The Likely Event by Rebecca Yarros

I'm not crying. I have allergies or something.

Heartbreaking, big big romance, wonderful realistic characters, exciting story, and everything you could want in a romance.

Perfect.

@rebeccayarros.bsky.social proves she is the best again.

Things I researched today for the book:

What pyres smell like after the fire goes out
What a sword wound looks like
What broken ribs feel like after the bandage comes off
Healing herbs

A cup of coffee and the corner of a laptop

What is it about coffee shops that make the words flow? I'm listening to the same music that I do at home, I'm using the same laptop, I'm the same level of tired that I always am and yet the characters are behaving and I can remember the point of my plot.

The hardback edition of A Dance of Lies by Brittney Arena

This truly beautiful book, A Dance of Lies, by @brittneyarena.bsky.social is the next to be devoted. I have been intrigued by this story about a disabled dancer turned spy since I first heard about it and it has languished on my shelf for too long.

#booksky

If I didn't already love her already...
Rebecca Yarros is an Aaron Sorkin fan! 😍

Nothing like being watched when you are eating... (The black and white is not my cat).

#catsky

That we could all be as peaceful in our sleep.

#catsky

There's nothing on TV anyway so you might as well watch me eat.

Yes, I know it's a footstool but, well, all four feet are on it so what are you complaining about?

#catsky

My husband and I both forgot the words "typo".

They are now word gremlins.

Yep. It's one of those days.

#writersky

It's all rubbish. I am sad kitty. It's raining so much that I can't go outside.

Tuna would make it better.

*Dramatic sigh*

#catsky

The gorgeousness of this book on the outside gives me great hope for the inside. I am very much looking forward to starting this!

#booksky

I went outside today!

*1 The Eucalyptus tree is now way too tall. Should probably sort that.
*2-4 The dog roses (I think) are going over but they are still pretty with the apples that are almost ready to pick.
*5 one of the just green bushes now had these things on it... Do I try to eat them?

Banned books are dangerous. One minute you're reading, the next you're thinking. Stay safe out there. #writersofsky #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity

Picture of the paperback Caught Up by Navessa Allen

New paperback day!

Not usually a fan of motorbikes so am reserving judgement on that side, but I know I like the author's style so it should be a lot of fun!

#booksky

It's too hot to stand up and eat. I'm taking all my food lying down now. (Just off camera - the big fan blowing cool air on my fur).
