Want Books? is a weekly meme hosted here at Chachic’s Book Nook and features released books that you want but you can’t have for some reason. It can be because it’s not available in your country, in your library or you don’t have the money for it right now. Everyone is free to join, just grab the image above. Leave a comment with a link to your post so I can do a roundup with each post.
I first heard about The Girl With the Cat Tattoo by Theresa Weir from contemporary romance author Laura Florand. She mentioned that it’s a romance novel with scenes from a cat’s point of view! That seems like such a fun and unique book. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything from the point of view of a cat (or even a dog). I checked The Girl With the Cat Tattoo’s Goodreads page and it looks like it’s also recommended by Ruthie Knox.
Here’s the summary from Goodreads:
When a matchmaking cat takes it upon himself to find his young mistress a new mate, he accidentally stirs up memories better left forgotten.
Melody’s husband was murdered by what seemed a random act of violence. Two years later, the killer hasn’t been caught, and Melody is coping in unhealthy ways. During the day she’s a mild-mannered children’s librarian, but at night she’s a party girl, hanging out in bars, drinking with new friends, and often bringing home strange men. Although acquaintances have tried to keep in touch, Melody has cut herself off from most of the people in her old life. Max, her eccentric cat, doesn’t approve of her new friends, he’s tired of the parade of losers, and he finally takes it upon himself to find Melody a new man.
I have a feeling I’ll find the matchmaking cat funny. What about you, what book is at the top of your wishlist? Also, please let me know if you’ve read any of Theresa Weir’s books and what you thought of them.
This book sounds like it’ll be pretty funny! I don’t think I’ve ever read a romance that has a CAT as one of the points of view, so that’s definitely unique. I hope you get a chance to read it — I’d love to see your thoughts.
I know, it’s bound to be hilarious if it’s written from a cat’s POV. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to review it if I get the chance to read the book. 😛
