"I’m IN LOVE. I genuinely have no words to describe how much this book got me.
The Ghost Cat by Alex Howard @HouseDoctorAlex had me SOBBING and trust me, that takes a lot. A retelling of 120 years of Edinburgh history through the eyes of a cat?! I was " Read more of this review » |

"I absolutely loved The Library Cat! 🐈📚 There’s something so special about Library Cat, and just like Grimalkin from The Ghost Cat, you simply can’t help but love him. ❤️

"This is an auto-buy author for me, and this has been my favourite so far.
It took about 50 pages to start, but then I was hooked. Books like this are exactly why I love fiction so much. This one has so much heart. It filled my cup and the cat’s sauce" Read more of this review » |

“How sad,” said Eilidh, her breath seeming to labor. “That there is no mention, from our good lord, about our beloved beasties and Grimalkin joining us in the afterlife. I shall see, my darling Alfie, I doubt not that. But our wee fluffy pals...always so noble! Always so loyal. With us through so much.”

“The novel rights of Peter Pan were eventually bought by Hodder & Stoughton in 1911. Upon his death, Barrie bequeathed the rights of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. The hospital still earns royalties for every Peter and Wendy–related film, book or play produced or shown to this day.”

“And then two thoughts entered his head: one was of his mother; her eyes gummed together and her tortoiseshell stripes vibrant and gold as she licked him along his sticky fur as a newborn kitten. It was an image he had never had before during his whole life, but here it was now so clear and bright he could almost touch it. And then Eilidh...her smiling lips and rosy face looking down at him as he curled up near the fireside in 1902, tired and woozy.”
