This week I'm reading...
First Chapter...
Since I moved to the cozy town of Wetumpka, Alabama, I get a lot of grief for my posh British accent. Of course, most of the humans I run across can't hear me, but the local felines are vainglorious creatures. While many are cultured and well fed, they fail to appreciate that to my refined ears, they sound like Foghorn Leghorn or some refugee from Gone with the Wind. By the time they finish a sentence I've had lunch and a nap.
Teaser...
One of the side effects of binge watching Cumberbatch as Sherlock is that I grew up speaking in a British accent.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
I instantly fell in love with the narrator, her attitude, and her observations. Putting this on my to read list right now.
ReplyDeletesounds like a riot: a cat with a Polish accent? hilarious

ReplyDeleteI'd like to know more about the plot before I'd read this one.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds like fun! Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THE STOLEN MARRIAGE”
ReplyDeleteHa! I agree, this one sounds fun and funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about reading a book narrated by a cat, although I do like that she/he was raised by way of Cumberbatch's voice! Sounds like fun. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLOL - this sounds so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the cat with an accent getting grief from other cats! This looks fun!
