Cat's People (by Tanya Guerrero)
I am definitely not a cat person, but the synopsis appeal to me and so I took a chance. The book was okay. There were some positive and funny aspects to the story, i.e., the people who are part of the Brooklyn neighborhood each come up with their own names for the cat ... and the cat has created names for each of the humans. I felt like it was really more of a YA book. Each chapter gives you a different character’s point of view ... even the cat! One major negative comment is

Claws Out ~ Cat Café #9 (by Cate Conte)
While I have only read a few of the books in the Cat Café series by Cate Conte, I am a fan. I am not a cat fan, but this series has so much more to offer that I can enjoy my time with Maddie and her crew. The trip to Provincetown, Massachusetts is full of action and, of course, murder. So you are off on an adventure in the new Cat Café food truck. There are a lot of suspects and plenty of clues to keep Maddie working to discover who is guilty of murder. I enjoyed this latest

The Flightless Birds of New Hope (by Farah Naz Rishi)
I anticipated reading this book and the premise sounded promising. Unfortunately, I just found it irritating. Every character ... from the siblings ... to the cockatoo ... got on my last nerve. The relationship of brothers and sister is dysfunctional and getting through the pages was a chore. It could be where I am at this point in time, but this book did not appeal to me. I was happy that there was a positive ending to the book, though. Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union
