Thanks for the review. 'Tomb of Sand’ is one of the engrossing book I read recently. The translation is impeccable, captures the nuances of the language and tone nicely. And I agree, it’s always good to thank your pets!

Two things:

1. This is one of many reasons why I love this newsletter. I never would've considered this book if it weren't for your thoughtful review. Thank you.

2. More cat content in the future, please!!!

Thanks, friend! If I could share a photo of her here in the comments I would. In the meantime, Daisy Rockwell and I have traded cat photos on Twitter. NBD, lol! Lola and Princess Leia have a similar look!

On its own, this book might not find its way into my hands or even my house. It sounds lovely but complicated. Your review has got me thinking about it -- It could be one of those I will fall into when I least expect it. I love the excerpt, too. Thank you for this one.

I've said it before (I think) and I'll say it again: who they thanked is my favorite! This book had totally escaped me, and I'm so excited you put it on my radar!

Thanks, Cassie! I’m glad you like the feature. It was fortunate that this book, in addition to being great, had wonderful feline acknowledgements. If you read it, I’d love to get your take!
