It's Walkin' and Readin' Wednesday!
As seen on a recent neighborhood walk:
Mocha
Porch Twins
Thought there was only one cat when I'd stopped.
Driveway kitten
Window Tuxie

Recommended audiobooks:
A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers
Narrated by Courtney Patterson, Claire Christie, Brittany Wilkerson, and Stephanie Willis
Published: February 11, 2020
Goodreads blurb: "A young witch is cursed to relive a doomed love affair through many lifetimes, as both troubled muse and frustrated artist."
My two cents: Maybe a tiny bit long, but wow, the ending!
The Washington Poe Series by M. W. Craven
1 The Puppet Show (2018)
2 Black Summer (2019)
3 The Curator (2020)
4 Dead Ground (2021)
5 The Botanist (2022)
Cut Short - 7 short stories (2023)
6 The Mercy Chair (2024)
7 The Final Vow (2025)
8 The Killer's Mark (2026)
All narrated by John Banks
M. W. Craven blurb: "Meet Detective Sergeant Washington Poe. Dark, cynical, ruthless; he lives a monastic existence in a shepherd’s croft on the most desolate moorland in Cumbria. Even his secrets have secrets. He has a past he keeps there and another past he doesn’t yet know about . . ."
My two cents: Terrific police procedurals, even if Poe and his team rarely follow instructions.
A bit gruesome, with sharp and witty dialogue, and a male author who can write convincing female characters.
Chasing Evil: Shocking Crimes, Supernatural Forces, and an FBI Agent’s Search for Hope and Justice by Robert Hilland and John Edward
Narrated by Robert Hilland and John Edward
Published: September 2, 2025
Goodreads blurb: "How a skeptical FBI agent reached out to a famous psychic for help on a baffling case—and the twenty-five-year crime-solving journey that followed."
My two cents: Not for the faint of heart, as some bad people are caught and properly sentenced. Not all cases were neatly sewn up, and the struggle to find evidence was the true story here. Fascinating, but there isn't a snowball's chance of me ever becoming a cop.

Everyone comes to see you when you walk by
ReplyDeleteI agree, Ruby!
DeleteReally enjoyed seeing the porch kitties because I saw their Shadows behind them and it may look like there was a pure black cat. And then the two in the big window! You have a wide variety of books here. I do tend to stay away from the ones that are grizzly.
ReplyDeletewow! great photo walk of all the kitties and interesting book reading ~ Hugs ^_^
ReplyDeleteI want to go for a walk with you. All the beauty you see.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to my Wordless Wednesday blog hop.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
We love seeing the walk kitties.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the collection of neighborhood sweeties!
ReplyDeleteI love all the sweeties you get to see. I have walked uncounted miles. Up hill, as they say and down dale (and truthfully I have) but I have yet to see any sweet blessings outside or even in a window,
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, my dear. It's fun to find a hidden kitty. :D Happy Reading (errr... listening - LOL)!
ReplyDeleteQuite the neighbourhood for cats there. Mocha shimmers!
ReplyDeleteSO many cute kitties. I read Chasing Evil and enjoyed it despite the subject matter. I do believe some people do have the gift of talking to the dead.
ReplyDeletePrecious babies! I plan to name a kitty Mocha one day. It was one of the names I considered for Mudpie, in fact.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do see some adorable and beautiful kitties on your walks!
ReplyDeleteThose books look kind of scary!
Your neighborhood felines are looking good.
ReplyDeleteWow, you find some excellent reads.
Que lindos son. Me encanta. Saludos desde España
ReplyDeleteLove seeing all the kitties you get to see on your neighborhood walks.
