This week I read A Cat Called Dog by Jem Vanston which I received free to review from Netgalley. It is a sweet tale of a young cat who was raised by dogs and therefore thinks and acts in a more doglike fashion. He is taken under the wing of a more mature cat named George, and together with George and his friends he must save George’ s mistress from disaster. The book is exactly what it claims to be; a light, fluffy tale which passed a couple of pleasant hours. Cat and dog lovers will certainly recognise some of the behavioural traits mentioned in the book. It is funny and engaging, but classic literature it is not. I gave A Cat Called Dog three and a half stars out of five. The Assassin and the Pirate Lord by Sarah J. Maas Genres: Epic Fantasy Format: eBook Pages: 416Amazon • Kobo • iTunes I was not familiar with Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series, and this novella seemed an excellent way to get started as it was less than a dollar on Amazon. I really enjoyed what I read, and I will certainly be reading more of her work….

Hello and welcome to another reading roundup. Since my last roundup I have read two pretty good books which I’d like to share with you. [book-info]I received an Advance Reader Copy of The Poisoned Blade by Kate Elliott at BEA. It’s been on my TBR for a while, but it’s only recently I read it. The Poisoned Blade is the second book in a planned trilogy (I believe) and continues the story of Jessamy, a young woman caught between two cultures whose passion in life is playing the game of Fives. In this second book, Jes is drawn into court politics and has to deal with the fallout of her decisions in book one. I listened to The Poisoned Blade in audiobook format and very much enjoyed Georgia Dolenz’s narration. What I liked The characters. I really liked our protagonist, Jessamy. Her conflicts between her love for the Fives, her need to protect her family, the limitations placed on her by her heritage and her affection for Kal were expertly written. The pacing.
