This sounds a lovely read 💚 Thanks go to @tia-phoebe.bsky.social for sharing it with us at #Catchatbookclub 😸
The fourth book Mum read this month was The Moonlight Gardening Club by Rosie Hannigan.
This was a lovely book about the therapeutic benefits of a community garden, planted with white and silvery plants to be best enjoyed under moonlight.

We’re so happy that @tia-phoebe.bsky.social mum enjoyed one of our reading recommendations! #Catchatbookclub
Mum’s third book was The Garden of Memories by Amanda James, reviewed by @milliemall.bsky.social in May (attached).
We loved this book and the way Rose’s retirement, and decision to bring her late husband’s garden back to life, turned a group of strangers into friends.💜

Mum’s chosen book, to fit the #CatChatBookClub MAGIC GARDEN theme, is “The Garden of Memories” by Amanda James. It really is a lovely, uplifting story in which the healing power of nature is central 💚 Mum enjoyed the escapism which this heartwarming tale brought to her 📖 😊

Another super review from @tia-phoebe.bsky.social We’re so glad mum enjoyed the book! #Catchatbookclub
Mum’s second book was Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent, reviewed last month by @milliemall.bsky.social who kindly sent Mum the book to read.
We loved this book and were intrigued by the mystery ‘Chorus’. Millie’s excellent review is attached. Definitely recommended.💜

For this month’s “Book from TBR pile” reading theme, at #CatChatBookClub mum chose “Guilty by Definition” by Susie Dent.
She really enjoyed the novel & her thoughts are attached.
UK pals may be familiar with Susie in Dictionary Corner on Countdown!
A cosy-ish crime. Recommended

It’s lovely to hear from @tia-phoebe.bsky.social at #Catchatbookclub here on BlueSky! 😸📚
Mum forgot to post here last night! Her first book was a recommendation, The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge & was perfect for this month’s theme.
We loved this book. There was a brave heroine, friendship, mystery, intrigue & adventure. Mum couldn’t put it down.💜

Our August #CatChatBookClub theme gave mum the opportunity to read “My Beloved Monster” as recommended by dear @munchpudding.bsky.social & his lovely mum. My mum says that it is one of the most wonderful books she has ever read. A stunning account of a human-cat relationship ❤️ Do read it. Non-fic.

Thank you @rachelgoes262.bsky.social for sharing this with us at #CatChatBookClub
It sounds like a book which we would all benefit from reading ❤️
I spent large parts of childhood & young adulthood homeless. My mom was a nurse. A lot of homeless have jobs. It’s only getting worse.

Most homeless books are by sociologists. This is by a journalist. He gets it. Well written & researched, heartfelt. @brian-goldstone.bsky.social

Thanks go to @amayna60.bsky.social for sharing this book recommendation with us at #CatChatBookClub 😺
I really enjoyed Playing for Love by Jeevani Charika, a four star romance from my TBR. Two people who know each other slightly from their business incubator bldg unknowingly team up in an online gaming competition. Both of them find bravery when they need to. #CatChatBookClub 📚💙
Happy Birthday!🍰

we're reading an excellent murder mystery that we've had for a while and was bought at a thrift store, so it's not new except to us 😸📚 Knit One, Kill Two - Maggie Sefton
