I just finished reading The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B by Teresa Toten, an author I don’t think I have read before. What a great book! Toten writes about Adam Spencer Ross, a teen battling OCD, and his family and group relationships as well as the girl in group that he falls in love with and vows to “save.”

In response to my Adopt a Cat Month post, I got a number of responses from readers with stories and pictures of their kitties. So I thought I would put the pictures together in a little gallery! You can send me your furbaby at pdworkman.author@gmail.com to be included!
In 1974, The American Human Association started Adopt a Cat Month (June, of course.)
Not everyone wants to or should adopt a cat, but there are a lot of kitties out there who need good homes, despite the best efforts of many people to keep them safe and keep the population down. A lot of people believe that cats should be allowed to run wild outside, which contributes to the problem of cat nuisances, unwanted and feral kittens, and the number of cats whose lives are shortened by vehicles, bullies, or coyotes or other natural predators.

It has been a strange week for reading! I started with one book that I did not finish, went on to an audiobook that was produced like a radio play, and then a couple of other quickies, one a holiday (Christmas) special and the other: The Princess Bride. Usually I have one or two books to pick from, this time I had four. I listened to the audiobook of The Princess Bride, which is, unfortunately, abridged. I’ll have to read the full text another time. But that’s what I’ve got, so that’s what we’ll go with.

It’s hard to believe that it has been sixteen years since Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight hit the scene. On the other hand, it has been almost that long since I last read it, and there is a lot that I only have vague impressions of. When I saw Midnight Sun, a retelling of Twilight from Edward’s perspective at my library, I thought “why not?” I enjoyed Twilight (though not as much as The Host—I am far more interested in action/suspense than romance) and it’s always nice to have something added to the canon.

Father’s Day is coming! How about some books to celebrate dads?
Many of the characters in my books are or were street kids and/or foster kids and they tend to have abusive or absent fathers. So I thought I would highlight a couple of them who had good relationships with their dads. I have also pulled together a sampling of other books showcasing good father/child relationships. I hope you find something here that you like!
