Review: Rebel Cats! Brave Tales of Feisty Felines

Rebel Cats! Brave Tales of Feisty Felines Rebel Cats! Brave Tales of Feisty Felines by Kimberlie Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's an adorable book, full of stories of cats, who were or are famous in some way. Some of the stories are quite crazy - like the ones with cats, who traveled the world on the ships or planes, often by an accident. Other cats are brave and fight not only for themselves but also for their humans. I already knew that cats are our overlords, but I didn't know so many rulers actually loved cats. Others were afraid of them, though. I must also add that I'm lucky enough to meet one of the cats mentioned in the book - Doorkins from the Southwark Cathedral in London. She was amazing - queen of the cathedral. And so soft :)
Illustrations are also lovely, so big plus for that.
P.S. I know it's a kids' book, so what?

Review: The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy

Obraz
The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy by Jennifer McCartney My rating: 5 of 5 stars I think this is going to be a book, that I'll be giving as a gift to everyone :) Not that it's so deep and profound, but because it shows how to live simply. It's also funny and short. Perfect for reading in pieces or as a whole. Illustrations are super cute, too. And there's of course sloth - most adorable role model ever. He lives his life slowly, but that's the point - take your time, be good to yourself, screw what others think. So you know - live slow die whenever. Great stuff! View all my reviews

Review: Pill

Obraz
Pill by Robert Bennett My rating: 5 of 5 stars *I have received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher" I've requested this book, thinking that it's about how pills were created. It has turned out that it's something else, something so much better! The author tells the story of the Pill, the One that we pop every day (at least once), to be happy. Or chill, or fall asleep, or whatever. It's our new religion - psychopharmacology. Robert Bennett has a bit odd way of telling this story - he's showing us how the meds work through a series of examples: literature and movies mostly. It can be slightly annoying at times, but overall it makes the book easier to read. I truly enjoyed how the author is telling the story and how he's asking the questions about our reality/society. It's a book placed in the USA, but I believe it could be about any given civilised country. Psychotropic meds are gaining its popularity,...
