1. Miss Cuddlywumps sounds like a great (and smart) kitty, Emmy. We will have to check out this book. 🙂

   And Joanie, we hope you get that gremlin thing sorted out!

   1. Thank you 🙂

2. Sounds like a pawsome book!

   1. It is 🙂

3. The Words by Jean-Paul Sartre, Why I Write by George Orwell (okay so I’ve read it before but it bears reading again and again…) Les Fleurs du Mal by Baudelaire and Rape of the Fair Country by Alexander Cordell.

   1. Why I Write sounds good, I recently read a biography about Orwell.

4. I have heard so many good things about the Miss Cuddlywumps series. I really need to read it!

   P.S. Did you get the gremlins wet, Joanie? I hear if you get a gremlin wet they’ll multiply. Oh, and don’t feed them after midnight!

   1. I think you will love it. No, she didn’t feed them or get them wet 🙂

5. That sounds like my kind of book.We are going to have to check that one out. Great Spark. You all have a great Tuesday.

   1. Thank you. XO

6. An investigative cat — mine only investigate the food bowl! It does sound like a fascinating read.

   Thinking before we speak is a great place to start adding good to the world.

   1. That is all mine investigate too 🙂

7. That sounds like a fun read. What better than an investigative cat? They are curious enough!

   1. They sure are 🙂

8. Joanie cracks me up with her gremlins… I think she is counting them! I need to check the link for Cuddlywumps. I am not going to PROcrastinate with this book. I like that it is a series. I think that is a “thoughtful” Spark.

   1. I think you will enjoy Cuddlywumps. Glad you liked the Spark.

9. Joanie…you gotta get those gremlins under control!

   1. We put them in the closet for now.

10. We are reading Black Cats Tell All … Mr. M plans to blog about this, tomorrow, but it’s a beautiful book that any cat lover would love to get as a gift (that’s a hint – Christmas is coming….)

    1. I am glad you like it 🙂

11. Thanks, Emmy, for posing with our book! We’re thrilled that you liked it 🙂

    1. I can’t wait to read the rest of them 🙂

12. Joanie did you add fertilizers to your gremlins? LOL!

    1. MOL! 🙂

13. Love the gremlins and kitty photo and the kitty looking at the book too!

    Happy Week to you,

    ***nose rubsss*** Siddhartha Henry xxxx

    1. Joanie is going to let the gremlins sleep for a while in the closet. I think you and your mum would enjoy The Cuddlywump Chronicles, the first book had me guessing who done it. XO

       1. LadyMum told mee to tell you Joanie “DO NOT give thee Gremmylinss water after middynite!!” Shee sayss they do notty fingss if they get water…..EEKKK!!!!
          Thee Cuddlywump Chronickullss sound purrty kewl Aunty Ellen. An wee fink wee know who did thee murder..it was big-eared Steve or thee Sheila lady who keepss showin uppy where shee should not bee…

          1. Don’t tell Joanie, but these are not gremlins, they are furbies 🙂 You are a clever boy to figure out who dunnit. XO and love from your auntie.

             1. Mew mew mew mee knowss Aunty!! LadyMum showed mee fotoss’ of Furbiess an then Gremlins….wee not tell Joanie…mee not want to hert her feelinss!
                Guess what> Inn thee book wee reedin thee Poe-lice arrested the Sheila lady’ss son! Mee still finkss that this Sheila lady did it or at leest helped…

             2. Joanie read a book about training your gremlin so she wanted one- MOL!
                I bet you are correct that Sheila dunnit. XO

19. Uhoh – looks like you’ve had a Gremlin invasion! That book series sounds like it would be tons of fun!!! We also like your sparks quote – in fact we love all the sparks quotes we’ve read today………….

    Hugs, Teddy

    1. I enjoyed all the quotes today too. XO

20. I am so happy to find something new to read! Love reading books! Love your share. Such a great day! P.I. kitty! I Just love it! HUGS and enjoy your week!

    1. Thank you 🙂 I hope you have a great week too. XO

21. That sounds like a pretty good book but don’t let the gremlins get it Joanie!

    1. I won’t 🙂

22. Sounds like a fun read. It would be a definite departure from the suspense and horror short stories I’m reading. Don’t feed the gremlins after midnight!

    1. She doesn’t feed them at all 🙂

23. Thanks, ladies. I have not read that series.

    Oh, Joanie! Gremlins can be very difficult. Especially if you feed them after midnight or get them wet! We are Gremlin fans here, though. We like to watch them at Christmas. “Ho-ho-Hi-ho…”

    Great Sparks, my friend! I agree, too. HUGS!

    1. Joanie is sick of the gremlins, too much work. 🙂 Glad you like my spark. XO

    Dezi and Raena

27. A Bump in the Road is going right onto my wishlist. The cat on the cover looks so much like my old Caligula cat. Come see what I’m reading this week.

    1. You will love it 🙂

28. That’s a lot of gremlins! That book sounds very interesting so we’ll have to check it out!

    1. They are noisy 🙂

31. Oh WoW! We have not read any of Ms Cuddywumpus’ books, but we have been a follower for a long time. We will have to read one of her books! And wow! You have quite a collection of Gremlins…That is scary!

35. I’ve been reading “Reality Shifts” by Cynthia Sue Larson. Ms. Cuddywumpus’ book series looks pretty good!

    1. I haven’t heard of that one, I will look it up.

36. Maybe if Joanie tries to cuddle up with a gremlin or two, te ‘problem’ might be resolved?? MOL!

    A wise spark!
    And I hope you have fun reading that book…

    1. I will give her your advice 🙂

37. Ellen,
