It's Caturday, but I'm feeling contrarian & I've had a lot of dog books lately – so, here are 4 featured items: funny, serious, & terrifying (for the spooky season)... & a cute photo of 2 cats (to earn the hashtag). Stop in for other pet books & much, much more!


@bookstodon

A photo of two adorable cats on a windowsill looking down into a kitchen sink. A caption reads, "We'd be happy to pre-clean these dishes for you."

Our final mystery is pulling back the veil with before and after pictures – a writer's desk as it was, and a writer's desk as it aspires to be.

Well, what did you expect from a writer of ?

@bookstodon

Order prevails on this writer's desk. Laptop, notebook, mug of tea. A few books for inspiration and plenty of space for great thinking.

Our next mystery is on the clock, or on the hourglass at least.

There's artwork in both two and three dimensions, as well as a handy dispenser for sticky tape. But who can it be?

This mystery from our issue is keeping things on the down low with laptop, cushions and a sofa. Extra points for the excellent colour matching between the natty throw and the spreadsheet…

Laptop, notebook, desk… standard kit for a . But why are all those hiding behind a curtain?

Our next author has gone walkabout and is working in a library. Note the cool shades propped behind the laptop, the studious workers on the next row of desks. But who and where could this possibly be?

With just around the corner, our first mystery is double screening it. There's an aquatic theme going on with that fish and that houseboat, and a jacket hanging on the door for a quick exit. But wait a minute… is that the roar of an engine?
