catathon readathon

We are excited to link up with Top Ten Tuesdays, hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

Hello everyone,

Today’s post is a freebie so I will post about the Catathon Readathon, a 48-hour readathon that will take place on April 20th-21st. Myself, Abigail from Abigail’s Cup of Tea, Christin from Christin_Rene_, and Melanie from Mels_Reads_ will host the event. We have hosted this readathon once before, and it was a lot of fun! The event will mostly be hosted on Bookstagram; and we invite all bloggers to join and post about their readathon weekends on their blogs and socials!

So today my cat Olivia and I are providing you with our top ten recommendations for our readathon! Five recs for each prompt. Please note I have read all of those listed below except for the two I plan to read for the readathon. Let’s start with the first prompt.

Top Recommendations for:
“Catnip Comforts: A book that brings you comfort or joy”

Title: Before the Coffee Gets Cold
Author: Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Geoffrey Trousselot (Translator)
Thoughts: Four individuals visit a cafe that promises to transport visitors through time; a very comforting Japanese-translated read!

Title: Oddball: A “Sarah’s Scribbles” collection
Author: Sarah Andersen
Thoughts: I loved this comic book! Although it is not solely based on cats, it has hilarious comments about daily life with cat-related themes throughout.

Title: Rascal
Author: Jean-Luc Deglin, Edward Gauvin (Translator)
Thoughts: This is an absolutely adorable graphic novel featuring a cute cat named Rascal!

Title: A Tale of Two Tabbies
Author: Kathi Daley
Thoughts: “Whales and Tails” is a murder mystery series, and I highly recommend the seventh book. It revolves around cats and has become one of my favourite books, bringing me a lot of joy.

Title: Cat’s Café
Author: Matt Tarpley
Thoughts: SO CUTE. I enjoyed this graphic novel! It’s sure to bring you those cozy, comfy vibes.

Top Recommendations for:
“A cat-related book you’re excited to read”

Title: Chapter and Curse, The Cambridge Bookshop Series #1
Author: Elizabeth Penney
Thoughts: This is one of my favourite cozy mystery series and it features a cat named Puck! The best part about this series is that book 2, “A Treacherous Tale,” is just as good, or even better! I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Title: The Wildings
Author: Nilanjana Roy, Prabha Mallya (Illustrator)
Thoughts: I’ve heard about this book and have really wanted to read it! It’s about a group of cats in Delhi. One day, an orange kitten joins their group and their whole world is transformed. Sounds great!

Title: A Cat Story
Author: Ursula Murray Husted
Thoughts: I loved this! It takes place in Valletta and follows two cats, Cilla and Betto, on an adventure to find their forever homes.

Title: The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book (Volume 14)
Author: Bill Watterson
Thoughts: Classic! This comic book series features a fictional tiger named Hobbes who is the best friend of the mischievous Calvin. I love it so much!

Title: The Fatal Folio
Author: Elizabeth Penney
Thoughts: This is book number 3 of the Cambridge Bookshop Series and is a personal pick for me since I can’t wait to finish this series!

Therefore my Purr-sonal Picks for the readathon are ….

Both of these books are cat-related books, but I want to use The Fatal Folio also as a book that brings me comfort or joy since this is a series I have absolutely loved! I’m very excited to read The Wildings for the readathon and am sure this will also bring joy as well!
