I enjoy stories set in another time and place. Learning about the fictional worlds in books is one of my favorite parts of reading. I want my heroes and heroines to be likable. While this does not mean flawless, I cannot get behind a character I do not like. If I do not like the character, I cannot cheer for him or her. If I cannot cheer for the character then I have no interest in their story. I enjoy stories about animals, C-dramas, and K-dramas. I am also always on the look-out for characters of African decent that do not center around their race and discrimination. I enjoy, tea, my poodle, my cat, and 1860s fashion. Steam on and Good cheer.

The Great Catnapping

The Great Catnapping by Emily Ecton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great story from Emily Ecton! Is is possible to ever get tired of these animals? Answer. No. The crew is back yet again in another adventure. This time Walt and the white cat (my favorite) are kidnapped for ransom! This story is as exciting as the rest and we get to see more of Bad Haircut Biscuit and meet two new animal helpers. An

H.R.H.’s Quotes

“Olivia remembered the moment she’d realized that every Black person she knew was touched by the horror of slavery. Sometimes Olivia felt it like a wound hidden deep under smooth skin—one that she didn’t remember receiving but that ached nonetheless.”
― Krystal Marquis, The Davenports

“I finally understood the gendered aspect of free will and fate. Father believed in making his own fortune because he was a man with choices laid out before him. Nai Nai and Mom believed in fate because they generally had to rely on the decisions of others. From my own experiences, I learned that our lives are a mixture of both.”
― Eve J. Chung, Daughters of Shandong

“Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't crowded with ten thousand things,
this is the best season of your life.”
