“I and Pangur do each our task, and share our peaceful days.“

blurb
Chloeeberlein

Join a thoughtful monk and his white cat, Pangur, as they spend their days doing what they love most. The White Cat and the Monk is a warm story about friendship and finding joy in everyday routines.

This story celebrates friendship and doing what you love. Jo Ellen Bogart‘s retelling of an old Irish poem captures the peaceful life of a monk and his white cat, Pangur, who happily spend their days side by side

Yesterday was a massive day that ended with a tequila courtesy of Stew & a dunk at my ocean 🛀 out front for the 1st time this spring. It‘s the small things. This was last month‘s #authorofthemonth that I picked to read. I can‘t say, a 3rd of the way through, that I‘d read 1 of hers again. A surprising plot twist has just happened so I‘ll persevere like I always do. The 💦 was 🥶 but refreshing after my arvo walk & housework that morning.

#ToBwaiting These are a few titles being talked about for possible inclusion for next March‘s Tournament of Books. We should see the Long List in a couple of weeks.

I do hope Poor Deer is selected- I am enjoying the audiobook. Wild Houses was offered as an Audible freebie (or discount - can‘t recall) so I have it up for a listen soon.

squirrelbrain I‘ve read 3 of these, heard of 2 of them as rumours for the ToB, but Short War is completely new to me. Great choices! 4d
BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - it‘s too much fun! 🤩 4d
BarbaraBB Great choices and very plausible indeed for TOB 4d

Ruthiella Wow! I have only heard of the David Nichols book! It would be nice to see Claire Oshetsky at least in the longlist due to her long participation in the comments section. 4d
Chelsea.Poole I keep meaning to get around to Wild Houses. Maybe if it makes the list I‘ll finally read it. 4d
BkClubCare @Ruthiella - honest, so weird! That I feel like I know her?! I don‘t, but it does color my respect and awe for her books. Am I the weirdo? 3d
Bookwormjillk Great list! 3d
Megabooks The only one of these I know is Rejection. Off to look them up!! 2d

Suet624 @BarbaraBB it must have been published earlier over there. 😊 3d
Cuilin Stacked, the cover art looks like a Paul Henry. (edited) 3d
BarbaraBB I am closer to Ireland 😉 3d
Suet624 @Cuilin Now I have to go look at Paul Henry‘s work 3d
Cuilin @Suet624 he painted many scenes of the west coast of Ireland, early 1900‘s. 3d
Suet624 @Cuilin oh my gosh. I just watched a beautiful video about his work. Thank you for telling me about him. 3d
Cuilin @Suet624 you‘re welcome, I spent so much time in Achill growing up it that when it came time to pick an artist to study for my leaving, I chose Paul Henry. 3d
