Such great book clubs opened up and grew in #AnipalBluesky2025! @pomchipuppy.bsky.social #Tinkerbellstorytime, @milliemall.bsky.social #catchatbookclub, @oliverbear.bsky.social #FurryReaders, and @puppybookclub.bsky.social #PuppyBookClub! Something for everyone! #AnipalBluesky2025 💜🌻🥰🥂

These are mum’s very favourite reads of 2025. One is non-fiction and one fiction. She was incredibly moved by both ❤️ #Catchatbookclub

Hi Millie! 👋🐾 I'll post a few of my favourite books from this year as I can. I'll link so people can read the summary. I've finally got back to reading after almost 18 months of vision issues that made it very difficult. First up - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. goodreads.com/book/show/50...

Here's another thread with more book suggestions if you want more. I'll be adding some throughout the day as I think of them. bsky.app/profile/mill...

This sounds like a great read! Thanks @teresalouise.bsky.social #CatChatBookClub 😸

This woman’s family is downright horrid, but it has a happy ending. I’m just glad she stood up for herself. I think I was a little shocked at how horrible the family was bc I was expecting a light, fluffy read. #catchatbookclub

Some super reviews for #Catchatbookclub from @jolo729.bsky.social 😸 🎄

Mum also read “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, as she does every Christmas. It’s a wonderful classic read for the festive season ❤️ 🎄 #CatChatBookClub

Mum’s choice of book for December 2025 was The Winter Spirits, as recommended by @lisaclayton.bsky.social Mum absolutely loved these short stories & highly recommends the book to anyone who likes spooky reads that aren’t terrifying! 😸❤️ 🎄 #CatChatBookClub

Spike says he’s got a cracker joke for day 17 of the #HedgewatchXmas Advent Calendar. Q: What’s a hedgehog’s favourite fruit? A: A spineapple of course! Well he thought it was funny anyway. Here’s the stage if you want to have a go. #Hedgewatch.

Whoop whoop! What an honour & a purrleasure! 😹😹 #Hedgewatch #Hedgewatchxmas @catincharge.bsky.social

Just catching up on #catchatbookclub. Always great to get some new ideas for the list! We didn't read any non fiction this month (except textbooks😫) but we loved this audiobook. It was a really well written story, and also great narration! 😺😺

Starting my next book about a lifelong friendship and the storms they go through #catchatbookclub #littlebearbookclub

Check out these mysteries 📚 recommended by @dagmarfaye.bsky.social #catchatbookclub 😸 📚

Hooman also read ‘The Sleeping And The Dead’ and ‘The Healers’ by Ann Cleeves and ‘The Wire In The Blood’ by Val McDermid! #CatChatBookClub

Oohh, there’s a #CatChatBookClub?!? So exciting!! For non-fiction, hooman read ‘On Tyranny’ by Timothy Snyder. Plus ‘1984’ by George Orwell and ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ by Margaret Atwood, which are supposed to be fiction but seem all to real at the moment.

📣 Looking ahead to December #CatChatBookClub & we’ll embrace our traditional FESTIVE theme, which everyone enjoys so much! 😸 🎄 Our meet-up will be on the fourth Sunday of the month, 28th December, 8pm UK time. Let us know of any book recommendations which pals might enjoy 📚

#catchatbookclub blind date with a book. Not sure if I’m ready for this type of book, but it’s ok so far. It’s been a busy month. We will see if I finish it before it’s due back to the library. It won’t bother me either way.

Off theme, this month, mum read “Cold Comfort Farm” by Stella Gibbons, the choice of our village book club, which follows orphaned Flora Poste, who goes to live with her eccentric relatives, the Starkadders, on a gloomy Sussex farm #CatChatBookClub

For Non-Fiction November #CatChatBookClub choice, Mum read “One Garden Against the World” by the wonderful @katebradbury.bsky.social It puts into words everything that mum feels passionately in her heart about the natural world 💚 Hedgehogs feature prominently! We urge EVERYONE to read it

Welcome to #CatChatBookClub 😺📚 Purrlease join us for book-chat. For the month of November, some of us have been reading NON-FICTION books! Enjoy noms & join in! 🧁☕️ Tell us what you read, non-fiction or not!😺 Don’t furget to include #CatChatBookClub hashtag in your posts!

📣 Just a reminder that our #CatChatBookClub meet-up is tomorrow, Sunday 23 November. All are welcome to join us at 8pm UK time 😸 📚 We look forward to hearing about the books you’ve been reading!

#CatChatBookClub Friends.

hooray, one of the 2 libraries I belong to, has this as e-book-thanks! Sometimes I read serious novels but sometimes I want a quick thriller and sounds like this fits that! #catchatbookclub My own thriller recs are old- early Tess Gerritsen (the Surgeon); early Patricia Cornwell (Body Farm).

📣 1 of 2: Looking ahead to next month’s #CatChatBookClub, we’ll embrace our traditional “Non-Fiction-November” theme (not compulsory of course). I hope you’re happier about it than I look in the pic 😹 Biographies, true crime, history books, cookery books, craft/hobbies books…

A third book which mum read & which fits the #CatChatBookClub theme is “The Hike” by Lucy Clarke. As a group of female friends go on a hiking trip in challenging terrain, tension and foreboding are in abundance! 🙀 A fast paced thriller altho not ‘outstanding’ in mum’s view.

As well as the “Fright”📕 mum also embraced the “Delight” aspect of our October #CatChatBookClub theme. Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series has brought her lots of joy over recent years so she was keen to read the latest installment! It did not disappoint! Mum LOVED it 😁

The first book mum chose, for our October #CatChatBookClub theme, was The Small Hand by Susan Hill. Our dear friends @lisaclayton.bsky.social introduced us to this author a few years ago, so she’s our ‘go-to’ now for spooky stories that don’t completely traumatise us!🙀😹👻 We loved it!

Welcome to October #CatChatBookClub 😺📚 This month we’ve been choosing between books to give us FRIGHTS & books to give us DELIGHT! Or maybe you have read something completely different! 😹 Join in by using club hashtag & tell us about your reading choice - scary or not 👻

I like potatoes. And books. #CatChatBookClub

Currently reading this. Has anyone else read it? #CatChatBookClub

My sister’s husband died almost 2 years ago and I read this to see if I thought it would help her. Joan Didion is very honest in discussing her overwhelming grief over a year’s time in her husband’s sudden death. #CatChatBookClub

Read this and really enjoyed. Written by a security officer at the Metropolitan Museum for 10 years. Lots of interesting observations. #CatChatBookClub

Starting my next a book. Janie was convicted of killing her mother. Her sentence was overturned & now she is out looking for the real killer #catchatbookclub #littlebearbookub

I thought the movie, The Prince of Tides, was better than the book. Usually I think books are better. #CatChatBookClub

📣 Looking ahead to August 2025 #CatChatBookClub & our tweetup will be on 31 Aug (fifth Sunday) so we don’t clash with #Nipfest2025 😹 We have a pawsome member-suggestion for our theme “My Favourite Book of All-Time” 😸❤️ 📚 (Continued 1 of 2….)

I also think books are often better than the movies. One exception for me was The Devil Wears Prada. I saw the movie first and thought the book would be even better. Ended up being disappointed and preferring the movie. Meryl Streep lifts up anything she is in. #CatChatBookClub
