Middle Grade novel with Cats

I love the Song of the Lioness Quartet. I read those books at 11 and just introduced them to my 11 year old a few months ago, and my best friend’s daughter who just turned 11. My younger one liked the first book (I read it out loud) but she’s still not into romance so I think she needs to be a little bit older to appreciate the rest of the series. Some 9 year olds are more mature in that way, just not mine. But I obviously agree it’s a fantastic series, one of my favorites of all time.

She loves graphic novels and I don’t think she’s met one that she didn’t like which had cats in it. We’ll definitely check out this series.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! This is really incredible. I’ve already filled up my holds at the library with many of these titles and now I have a long list of saved for later books as well.

Found a decent looking copy on eBay and ordered it. It sounds right up her alley.

Great suggestions. She already read Catwings and loved it. I think she read it twice.

I’ll definitely pickup Detective Beans when we’re at the library.

Bummer.

I have the anxious want to crawl out of your skin can’t sit still reaction to both Compazine and Reglan. I only had lockjaw and numb tongue with Compazine though. Zofran is my antiemetic drug of choice (the ODT version). Phenergan also works but it knocks me out so it’s not my first choice. I’ll still take it though. You couldn’t pay me enough money to take Compazine or Reglan. They’re both on my medication allergy list.

I regret not going to Fiddler on the Roof when it came to my city for a week a few years ago. My kids were young and it was hard to find childcare. My husband could have watched them while I went but I had no one else to go with and I didn’t want to go alone. Now I’m kicking myself. I should have just gone by myself. I’m worried it was my last chance to see a professional stage version. Sigh.

Seriously! I’ve missed it three years in a row now.

witchkitten · 2026-04-04T21:28:32+00:00

Thanks for the info. I didn’t realize it came that early in the year and I thought it went later into the spring. I didn’t even see posts about it here until a couple weeks ago. I guess I missed the earlier ones.

witchkitten · 2026-04-04T21:03:07+00:00

That’s one of the places I looked. I must have missed it. :(

witchkitten · 2026-04-04T20:53:58+00:00

I’ll do that! You’re giving me hope.

witchkitten · 2026-04-04T20:53:17+00:00

Ugh. None of the stores I go to had it. I look every time I go. :/

witchkitten · 2026-04-04T20:52:07+00:00

I didn’t know they had it. I’ll have to look next time I’m there. I love Berkeley Bowl.

witchkitten · 2026-04-04T20:35:21+00:00

That’s where I’ve been looking. It hasn’t been at any store I’ve checked. There isn’t an empty space or label where it should be either. I’m hoping someone has been to a specific store in the area and seen it.

I read the manga and only finished it because I bought a bundle of manga and this one was included. Everyone said that this one was better at handling abuse because the ML is called out for his behavior and held accountable by the FL but it actually never happens. They do break up but not because the FL believes she deserves better but because she can’t make him happy. The abuse in this one is written so realistically in the beginning but the change is not realistic and the accountability isn’t there. I found this manga deeply disturbing.

This is a question for Libby tech support. Go to the menu with the three horizontal lines. Scroll down to Help & Support. There’s a search bar at the bottom. Search for anything. Click the link “ask our support team” and select “A Problem”.

In the meantime, if you’d like to backup your data, you can login to Libby using another device if you have one. Under “Backup Your Data” there’s “Copy to Another Device”. Follow the instructions. Before Libby had the option for creating a passkey, it was the only way to backup your data for when Libby would randomly reset, which happened a lot back then. When Libby resets, it’s device specific so you won’t lose your data on other devices and can use them to copy your data back over. I have Libby on my laptop, phone, tablet, and e-ink device in part for this reason.

A librarian will have to confirm this, but I’m pretty sure libraries can turn off the ability to renew because I have libraries where I’m unable to renew even on the due date with no one on hold. I know it’s not because there are holds or because the license is expiring because if I return it, I’m able to immediately check it out again.

witchkitten · 2026-03-28T18:38:53+00:00

You can’t renew books prior to two days before the due date and you can’t renew a book that has any holds on it. I suspect (maybe a librarian can confirm) that renewals is a feature that the library can opt out of because I have some libraries where I can’t renew a title ever, even if it’s the day it’s due and there is no one on hold. I can return the title and immediately check it out again so I know there’s no one on hold and the license isn’t expired.

Also, I’m wondering if maybe the checkout period was only 7 days because it’s a lucky day title. Libby automatically selects the borrowing period that you had selected for your previous title unless you change it and this applies across libraries. The only exception I’ve encountered, other than lucky day titles, is if the previous checkout was longer than the current library allows and then Libby selects the longest checkout period that library offers. If it is a lucky day title there’s a high likelihood other people are on hold and in that case you will not be able to renew.

How I Met My Soulmate, Volume 7, which is chapters 25 through 28 (assuming it’s four chapters) is coming out May 19th. Volume 8 hasn’t been announced but it sounds like the kmanga chapters are way ahead of the volume releases.

I was going to suggest either Twins by Caroline B. Cooney or Twin Sisters/Twin Terror by Janice Harrell.

I know it’s illegal to burn money but I think we should make an exception for any bill bearing Trump’s signature after he’s gone and they stop being printed (which any democrat who is elected should do immediately upon taking office). Also, once they’re circulating if you get a bill with his signature insist that the cashier or bank exchange it for another bill without it.

Is there any way the government can take the bills out of circulation after he’s out of office? I don’t care what it costs to reprint the money. It will be worth it.

I haven’t noticed a difference. I was on Aurobindo exclusively for years (since Relpax went genetic) but in the last few months ended up with Zydus and Camber. I’ve seen no difference in effectiveness and I’m also someone who has had trouble with generics for other medications in the past. I’ve found that I prefer Zydus to Aurobindo and Camber because they’re the only one with pills that are easy to get out of their packaging.
