🐈 The time has come...let's see who your favorite fictional cat characters are! 🐈
A few that come to mind for me:
Moggett (Sabriel, Garth Nix; presents as a cat, so that counts). Whiskers (Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion books; winged black and white cat) Pixel (The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, Heinlein) Tailchaser (Tailchaser's Song, Tad Williams) The Cat in the Hat (Seuss, Dr.) Otsuka (Kafka On the Shore, Murakami) Jiji (Kiki's Delivery Service, Eiko Kadono)
Any favorites from the rest of you? 😁
EDIT: So many good ones. Have to run off to meetings but I'll be back to check the thread. Does the cat from the video game Stray count? Did that cat have a name? I loved the game

Book 6 is A Court of Splintered Harmony and Book 7 is A Court of Forgotten Melody!!!
What do you guys think of the covers?? I have to say I’m a bit confused with the colors? Do we think they’re the final versions? Whose POVs do you think we’re getting? I think maybe ACOSH has something to do with the Bone Carver? And finally, I can’t help but notice a certain similitude with the spider on ACOFM and a certain creature from TOG👀 Give me all your insights!!!

A very interesting and entertaining read! I liked it more than the movie, despite it dragging a bit in the middle and the message being as subtle as a brick to the face, it was very well crafted. Only thing I can't excuse is Lex being the most annoying child character ever created!

Hi all! I’m curious to hear others’ thoughts on buying expensive special editions of books? I’ve been getting ads for Folio Society recently and I’m on the fence whether to buy one of their editions of a favourite book of mine. On one hand, the art is absolutely beautiful and I would love to have a hardback copy like this of a story I adore. On the other hand — I’m not sure how much I would read that edition, or even look at it. I’ve been partial to ebooks lately, I’m running out of shelf space, and I feel like I’d be nervous to handle such an expensive book.
So I guess my questions are: if you personally buy collector’s editions of books, are they mostly for display or do you read them? What makes it worth it for you? Or if you don’t buy editions like this, what makes you feel they’re not worth it?

[EDIT: I didn't mean "manic" literally, hence the "mini-". But I think I'm just-about-to-fall-off-the-rails loopy because I haven't eaten since this morning and my blood sugar is low. Sorry for causing misunderstandings.]
I got inspired by other people's really epic personal shelves and wanted to set mine up similarly. So what am I starting with? Wholesale copying of some quests I joined, just those entire lists becoming my shelves. Regardless of whether I have any intention to read any given book (definitely not giving Sarah J. Maas the time of day even if I were into that genre).
Probably a bad idea, since my shelves are supposed to be mine, and why should I add books I don't want to my library?
Sigh. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
