Cat Thursday - Happy Birthday, Merida!


Welcome to the weekly meme that celebrates the wonders and sometime hilarity of cats! Join us by posting a favorite lolcat pic you may have come across, famous cat art or even share with us pics of your own beloved cat(s). It's all for the love of cats! Share the link to your post with your comment below.

Merida turned one year old on Monday. She is such a joy and has really helped fill the void that was left when my sweet Alice passed (though Alice can never be replaced). Her older sister, Arya still hasn't warmed up to her, but I'm hoping that someday they will get along. 

Here are various shots of Merida on her birthday (please ignore the lady in the picture lol) and over the weeks before. She was spayed in early May and her hair STILL has not grown back where they had to shave her. That belly! In some pics, she really looks like she's been on a bender. She's such a mess. You will also see she has a favorite chair (though she has taken to sleeping with me on my bed of late). 

We adore her and have been so lucky to add her to our family. Here's to many more years, Merida. I know your sister across the Rainbow Bridge wishes she could have celebrated with you too.

The Actual 9 Year #Blogiversary of True Book Addict


Yes, I'm almost two weeks late AND I think part of that is because...I celebrated the wrong damn blogiversary last year. I started this blog on August 5, 2009. 2009 to 2017 is not nine years, it's eight! Oh dear.


Anyway, this is officially nine years of blogging here and though I've slowed down, I'm not tired of it. It's my own little corner of the web and it's here when I feel like sharing about books and cats and whatever else. I'm not going to have any fanfare this year. That can be next year when it will be 10 YEARS! Wow!

A big thank you to everyone who loyally reads my blog. I appreciate you so much. This blog has been instrumental in opening my world to so many like-minded people who I now consider the best of friends. What greater reward could there be?

#CatThursday - #Authors and #Cats (67) Don DeLillo and Happy 16, Gabe!


Welcome to the weekly meme that celebrates the wonders and sometime hilarity of cats! Join us by posting a favorite lolcat pic you may have come across, famous cat art or even share with us pics of your own beloved cat(s). It's all for the love of cats! (share your post in the Mr. Linky below)

The second Cat Thursday of each month is Authors and Cats Thursday. Each time I will feature an author with their cat(s), or pictured with a cat(s).


Don DeLillo celebrates his birthday on November 20 (1936). This is the first image I've ever found of him with a cat. What a cute cat!

Don DeLillo is an American author best known for his novels, which paint detailed portraits of American life in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He currently lives outside of New York City.

Among the most influential American writers of the past decades, DeLillo has received, among author awards, a National Book Award (White Noise, 1985), a PEN/Faulkner Award (Mao II, 1991), and an American Book Award (Underworld, 1998). (Goodreads)

Today is my son Gabe's 16th birthday! I'm so proud of the young man he's becoming. He's doing so well in school and loves being on the football team, and playing guitar. My first born is a treasure and I love him so. Happy Birthday, son! 🎂💜

Cat Thursday - Happy Birthday, Alice and Arya


Welcome to the weekly meme that celebrates the wonders and sometime hilarity of cats! Join us by posting a favorite LOL cat pic you may have come across, famous cat art or even share with us pics of your own beloved cat(s). It's all for the love of cats! (share your post in the Mr. Linky below)

Yesterday was the girls' birthdays! Well, technically it was only Alice's. I know her exact birth date because the woman I adopted her from knew the exact date. Since Arya was a rescue, I have no idea when her birthday is. It was most likely late Fall based on the age she was when we got her, but to make things easy, I just decided to combine the dates. I'm so forgetful these days (as last week was evidence. lol). 

Arya is not fond of the boys holding her. Hence, the pic of her by herself. She really enjoyed the food. I had to stop her or she would have ate it all. Alice, my big eater, turned her nose up. She's never been a fan of wet food.

Oh, forgot to mention their ages. Alice is 9 and Arya is 5.

Happy Birthday, Gabe...my boy is 12 years old today!

 
How time flies! I know every parent that reads this can relate. It seems like only yesterday he was a baby in my arms and now he's twelve. One year away from being a teen, 4 (or 5) years away from driving, and only 6 years away from being an adult. Ugh! Make the time slow down!

The pic above is from his birthday party last weekend. =O)

Happy Birthday, son! I love you!

45 years young?


I read a great quote earlier...Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be again. 

I like that!

Today I'm spending the day with my wonderful sons. I couldn't think of a better birthday present.

Happy Birthday, Page Turner Book Tours!



PTBT opened their doors a year ago and has grown from strength to strength working with some amazing authors along the way. This year the official .com site was opened, a dedicated team of graphics designers joined the team and PTBT became the official host for all tours under 5 Prince Publishing.

The story doesn’t stop there…

There are already plans for further improvements and many more tours to be held in the future along with further charity work. 

We hope that you will check them out at this link: http://pageturnerbooktours.com

During July PTBT are offering the following discounts:

1 week tour - 1 additional day
2 week tour - $63.75 - 2 additional days
3 week tour - $85 - 3 additional days
4 week tour - $170 - 4 additional days

These discounts are good for a year AS LONG AS the tour is booked and paid for in July 2013.

“Working for Page Turner Book Tours has been amazing. I have met some amazing people, worked with some fantastic books and been privileged to be part of some amazing journeys. I know there will be great things to come for PTBT and I am excited to meet every request, author and to discover the wonderful books that I work with. Thank you to everyone on the past year who has worked with PTBT you are all amazing and I am so have been part of your journey. Here’s to the next fantastic year!” ~ Kate, Owner/Tour Coordinator PTBT

“I have been blessed to have had a long professional relationship with Kate and Page Turner Book Tours. Her organization of the tours and cover launches has always exceeded our expectations. She is thorough and knows what she’s doing. I believed enough in the company that Page Turner Book Tours is the official coordinator for 5 Prince Publishing. Kate sets up tours for our cover/book launches, for each of our authors, as well as book tours. Her prices are very fair and that helps individuals and small businesses. I give Kate and Page Turner Book Tours 5 STARS, for their consistently good service, well managed tours, and comfort level when working with them. If you are looking to promote yourself or your book I highly recommend Page Turner Book Tours.” - Bernadette Soehner, CEO, 5 Prince Publishing, Lost And Found Tour Details

“I enjoyed working with Page Turner Book Tours in 2012 for my second Lash Series Book, Shadow Man. Kate was able to arrange far more stops than I’d initially hoped for, and also garnered my book several five star reviews! The spreadsheet she gave me to work from had all the relevant contact information to write tailored engaging posts for each site, and she fulfilled every part of the agreement to create and deliver signature prizes for the tour. She tried her very best to make my tour the best it could be. The best recommendation is that I will be using her services again this summer to promote another coauthored work!

Service: At least half of service is value for the money spent. Kate gives great packages and I feel I got a very good value for the money I spent with her. She was knowledgeable and answered my questions in a timely fashion. I especially appreciated the reviews as part of the package, of which almost all were favorable.

Communication: the other half of service for this type of promotion is communication, and Kate was very good in that aspect as well. For my tour, I had a total of 5 interviews to complete, along with 12 guest posts. She got me info for topics and interview questions as soon as she had them, which helped me stay ahead and on time with my side of the tour.

Overall tour running: 5 stars” Tara Fox Hall, Author, Lash Tour Details

“I have had the pleasure of working with Page Turner Book Tours for just a few short months. When I first contacted Kate and told her what I was looking for, she helped walk me through everything that they could do, what it would entail on my part as well as what was to be expected from her and Page Turner Book Tours. 

Every time I have any questions Kate is sure to replay quickly. I have not encountered many problems while working with Page Turner Book Tours other than a few Bloggers did not follow through on their end. Which, I by no means, hold against Page Turner Book Tours. 
Kate does a wonderful job communicating what is needed by all her bloggers, if you are interested then you just let her know and she does the rest. All you have to do as a blogger is set it up to go on your scheduled date. 

Overall I think Kate and Page Turner Book Tours do a wonderful job with their Press Releases, Interviews, Book reviews and scheduling who needs to be where and what time. I would give Page Turner Book Tours 5 out of 5 stars!” ~ Marie, 5 Prince Publishing

“Page Turner Book Tours is a great resource for authors and I have personally found Kate and her tour company to be worth their weight in gold! I have worked with Kate on book tours for myself and I have even joined book tours for other authors as a host. Each time I have found Kate to be absolutely wonderful to work with. With many tours running consecutively Kate is adept and masterful as she customizes each tour to the specific author and his/her book.

Kate is a marvelous coordinator and I can’t wait to work with her in the future on a book tour. If you are looking for a company to schedule a tour, than I recommend working with Kate at Page Turner Book Tours. She will customize a tour specifically for you and work with book bloggers making your tour run as easy as possible leaving you with a sense of satisfaction and a great tour experience!
Page Turner Book tours is definitely a five star company!” M.M. Shelley, Murder On Mars Tour Details

Enjoy! (share your post in the Mr. Linky below)

Alice's 6th birthday was this past Sunday. We're lucky because we know the exact date of her birth, February 24 (thanks to the nice people we got her from all those years ago). We couldn't be any more lucky. She is a wonderful part of our family...sweet and good-natured. And she's awesome for accepting her new little sister, Arya, with open arms paws. Happy Birthday, you gorgeous, black beauty! Of course, the boys had to get in on the act. ;O)







Alice wasn't exactly loving it this year. LOL!
