Happy Caturday

The book is a collection of multiple stories about Cats and Magic. I found the book full of adventures and high spirits. Definitely a good pick for one of those days when you don't want to step outside the house, but still want to have a whimsical experience.

I was contemplating initially how would I feel about reading the works of so many authors in a single place. But I am glad I picked this up, the stories give us a lot of variations on the baseline, and I real;y appreciate the creativity. After back-to-back average reads finally I stumbled upon something that makes me happy!
