A-Z Challenge Reflections

66 comments

Hi everyone! Today’s post is our reflections on the a-z challenge. This was our second year participating. I really enjoy writing posts for the challenge, but this year was certainly not as fun as last year because of Spooky’s illness and passing. The challenge did provide a distraction for me while grieving though. I will definitely participate next year and I am already trying to decide if I will do more books, or maybe blogging cats.
I was thrilled to find more cat blogs to follow including The Kitty Corner, ScootersTale, Six Cats and Counting and That’s Purrfect. If you don’t already follow these, you should check them out.

And for Toby’s Mom and anyone else , I am going to list all the books and authors I recommended so they will all be in one place for you.

A: Cleveland Amory ( The Cat Who Came for Christmas )

B: Basil the Bionic Cat by Cathrine Garnell , Bailey Boat Cat by Louise Kennedy

C: Casper the Commuting Cat by Susan Finden

D: Dewey the Small Town Library Cat by Vicki Myron

G: Grumpy Cat ( she has several books)

    1. Thank you, I loved your theme last year- I hope you change your mind and do it again.

  32. There were quite a few cat blogs. Perhaps they should make that a category on the linky list next year. It’d make them easier to find.

  33. I love reading about kitty books or books with kitties featured in them. This is a great list which mom said she will copy. xox

    1. I am glad she will copy it, maybe your Mom will read them all to you.
