Millie 😺 📚 🦔💚

We’re so happy to welcome @tia-phoebe.bsky.social to #CatChatBookClub here & we’re most grateful to them for sharing mum’s thoughts on this bookish book! A super thread.

Thanks go to @phoebeb.bsky.social for this super thread about haunted house stories! #CatChatBookClub😸 👻

Woo hoo! This sounds a super seasonal read! Thank mew @rachelgoes262.bsky.social 😸 #CatChatBookClub

Thanks to @rachelgoes262.bsky.social for sharing thoughts about this book. What a shame about the ending! 🙀 #CatChatBookClub

And finally, for the spooky season, Mum is rereading a book which she first brought to #CatChatBookClub 5 yrs ago: Frankenstein. Mum remembered how much she enjoyed the read & so decided to revisit it. She has almost finished & has been very moved by this story, once again. (Her notes are from 2021)

Another recent read of mum’s is “The Paris Library” by Janet Skeslien Charles (a thoughtful gift from a friend) which would fit the #CatChatBookClub “Heartwarming” theme this month. The story is told via alternating locations & two different time periods & mum enjoyed it….

Mum chose a “spine-chilling” book as her main #CatChatBookClub read, this month. “The Burning Girls” by C J Tudor isn’t her usual choice of genre but she absolutely loved it & was gripped from page 1. So many brilliant twists, turns & revelations…& it didn’t completely terrify!

Welcome to October 2026 #CatChatBookClub 😺📚 This month we’ve been choosing between books which are SPINE-CHILLING or HEARTWARMING! Or maybe you have read something completely different! 😹 Join in by using club hashtag & tell us about your reading choices - scary or not 👻

📣 Just a gentle reminder that it’s our #CatChatBookClub meet-up TOMORROW, Sunday 25 October 2026 at 8pm UK time 😸 🎃 👻 All welcome 📚 (NB UK clocks go back 1 hour on Saturday night!)

Hooray for #Friyay & mum’s been out on a little #Hedgewatch of her own. Here are some photos of the latest postbox topper 📮 🧶 which she saw, not far from our home. The clever mystery creator is embracing the spooky season! We think it’s supurrb! 🎃 🐉 💀

I’m contemplating this pumpkin as I dedicate my #HedgewatchForGriffen today 🌈 Sending huge amounts of love & paw hugs 🐾 to Griffen’s family who miss him terribly 😿 Run free dear pal. Until we meet again… ♥️

Thanks go to everyone who contributed to our #CatChatBookClub September meet up & made it such an enjoyable occasion. Our TBR list is even longer than ever now 😹 We’re off to bed now & will catch up tomorrow with any posts we missed. Here’s a reminder of our October theme 😸 👻

Has anyone else read this? Is it worth persevering? 🤔 #CatChatBookClub @delaneykirk.bsky.social

thanks for the advisory! LR Wright, is a recent favorite. Her Albert and Cassandra series is very atmospheric. Set near Vancouver which is fun - she describes the countryside. And the characters are great. Probably authored in 1970’s? Not cozy but not too violent, fun reads.

📣 Looking ahead to October #CatChatBookClub & of course we’re heading into the spooky season. We know not everyone enjoys scary books, so we give you a choice: “Spine-Chilling or Heartwarming” Which will you choose? 🤔 Tweetup on Sunday 25 October 2026 at 8pm UK time 😸 🎃 👻

Thanks go to @delaneykirk.bsky.social for sharing this with #CatChatBookClub

I really liked Whistler. A little sad but shows the impact an adult can have in a short time on a impressionable child. #catchatbookclub

There’s cake for all at #catchatbookclub 😸 🍰

Mum’s off-theme read this month, was “Helle & Death” by Oskar Jensen. Sadly she didn’t enjoy it at all despite the setting being full of promise for an Agatha Christie type of parody. Mum found the plot weak & didn’t like the characters. A disappointing twist too #CatChatBookClub

#catchatbookclub

Mum’s tenuous link to the #CatChatBookClub theme is “Diary of a Somebody” by Brian Bilston. Written in diary form, some of the action was in Autumn 😹 🍂 Mum first read it in 2022 & has longed to reread it since as she enjoyed it so much. Her notes from now & then are attached.

Mum’s September reading included 1 on-theme book, 1 with a tenuous link to theme & 1 off-theme! Here’s her thoughts about the book she chose which purrfectly fit the Autumnal #CatChatBookClub theme. She really loved the short stories by Agatha Christie: 😸🧡 🍂 🍁

Our August #CatChatBookClub theme gave mum the opportunity to read “My Beloved Monster” as recommended by dear @munchpudding.bsky.social & his lovely mum. My mum says that it is one of the most wonderful books she has ever read. A stunning account of a human-cat relationship ❤️ Do read it. Non-fic.
