Overview

I found this on Edelweiss + a few months back. I enjoyed reading it and learning about the people discussed in the book. Being a lover of cats, I knew I would need to get a copy of this book, and I was so happy to see this on Read Now.

 

Writing

The writing of this book reads just like any other Non-Fiction about a celebrity does. You get to know what the person did, and how they qualified to be featured in this book. Where this book went in a new direction was just as the title said, it talked about the relationship the person had with their cats. Reading about how the person got their cat and how much they loved the cat was something very sweet to read. When I read Non-Fiction I hope to learn something, and I definitely learned about some of the people featured in this book that I didn’t know about previously. 

Pace

The pace of this book was good for the most part. I felt that in some places when talking about a person and their cat sometimes it felt rushed, and other times I felt it could be quicker. I don’t know if this is writing style or the fact that some of the people got a longer feature. Either way, while reading this I was starting to zone out, and my biggest issue with the book was the pacing. 

Photos

This book includes photos of the people and their cats. I thought the photos were well done because it adds more to learning about them to see the person and their cat. The photos enhance the story, and they don’t take away from learning about the person.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C
