She still refused to look at him, but she could feel the heated flush of anger again in her cheeks. “Cooperate with the guards. For your own sake,” he continued. “Be good yourself, Captain,” she said […]
This is just a quick post about something that’s been on my mind for a while. It’s sad that there are so many preconceived ideas about YA novels, ideas that show those who speak about them, very often haven’t read any. I’m writing for adults, children and Young Adults and in one of my writer’s […]

Beauty is a Sleeping Cat 
That *is* brilliant. I want one!
Isn’t it? It’s such a great idea and you can put it up in two different ways. Either they can go up in the front or you turn it around and they can peep out and walk up in the back.
OMG, I need one of these. That is genius!! My cats would love it. 🙂
I enjoy the idea more and more. I’m just a bit afraid they would push each other of the top shelf. They are very wild cats.
The shelf is beautiful!! I love how compact it is. I don’t have cats but i still like the design.
I think it’s perfect. I really hope I can get one. They would totally love it.
Excellent!! I don’t have cats, but I think it’s brilliant. Your cats won’t be able to chew books up there. They’re going to miss the taste of paper.
The idea of eating books makes me think of Sam Savage’s book : Firmin. Have you read it?
No, I don’t know it. Is it not about a rat? I love rats but can’t have one now. He is the book chewer, she doesn’t but she is the climber, so she would sleep up there while he would still chew on the books on the floor or on my bed, never on the shelves. He just loves to rip paper and I had to let go of the bad habit of chucking bills on the floor.
Firmin is about a rat who loves books. At first he loves eating books and then he loves reading them. He lives in a bookstore. It’s a rather sad tale about loneliness, the difficulty to accept difference and a wonderful tribute to literature.
I suspect Sam Savage chose a rat because of “rat de bibliothèque”, there are references to France and French literature.
There’s a review on my blog if you’re interested.
It does sound like a book I would like, thanks. I will read your review.
