How to Cheat Your Own Death by Kristen Perrin, Castle Knoll Files series book #3

Narrated by Alexandra Dowling & Jaye Jacobs

Two murders decades apart appear to be tied to the artwork of Annie's mother, and her never-before-seen father just appears at the same time.

Tales of huge amounts of missing money, stolen heirlooms, nasty family infighting, and if Annie isn't careful, she'll lose more than her heart.

The Bookbinder's Secret, by A.D. Bell

Narrated by Olivia Vinall

 

"A young bookbinder begins a hunt for the truth when a confession hidden beneath the binding of a burned book reveals a story of forbidden love, lost fortune, and murder, in 1901 Oxford." - Goodreads

Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture by Ross King

Narrated by James Cameron Stewart

"At first denounced as a madman, Brunelleschi literally reinvented the field of architecture amid plagues, wars, and political feuds to raise seventy million pounds of metal, wood, and marble hundreds of feet in the air." - Amazon

Henry Update:

Henry's appetite has diminished, and his lethargy returned.

Hoping it's all an aftershock to the vet visit, or the binding powder had a immediate effect, and he's reacting to some internal feeling.

I'll be on him to eat something, even if I have to tear open a dozen churu sticks.

May 12 is National Limerick Day!

Here are a few that I made up using a limerick-creating app, which I've promptly forgotten:

 Henry

There once was a cat named Henry,  
Whose whiskers were long and quite fancy.  
He’d pounce on a mouse,  
Then lounge in the house,  
A feline both bold and so dandy!

Da Boyz

Two black cats, twins sleek and sly,

In moonlight would prowl and then fly.

With eyes gleaming bright,

They vanished from sight—

Mischief kings under night’s velvet sky!

Eastside Cats

There once were some Eastside Cats,

Who lounged on their sunny mats.

With whiskers so bright,

They purred through the night,

And chased all the neighborhood rats.

An additional bit of comedy in the Irish vein:

Henry Update:

Our dear boyo has had diarrhea for too long, so off we went to the vet's office Monday morning.

He's been lethargic too, so we made additions to his med routine:

New antibiotic (on order).

Return to daily steroids.

Fiber supplement.

Weighed in at 10.68 lbs; he was 9.16 lbs on April 20. 👍🏻

He put up a fight getting into that crate, which I always take as a good sign! 👍🏻

Follow-up vet visit in a month. 👍🏻

Henry is a trooper, and although he hid under the dresser when first home again, he reappeared after only a short while, ate everything (including his new fiber supplement), and asked for brushies, which he most certainly received.

Someone managed to wrench her back while loading that carrier, and a nice late afternoon out-of-nowhere nap with The H Man snugged up against was just the ticket!

Celestial Paddy O'Malley's fur colors looked terrific against the green, no?

In some ways, Henry resembles Paddy:

Outside to Inside

My special dude

Henry Update:

Yes, that's me he's using as a pillow.
