A lazy Sunday afternoon… now this sounds like my kind of book :)

Cute review for a cute cat’s story. And that wrist rest of yours is rather cute as well!

Hope you’re having a blessed weekend with your loved ones! :)

Vivienne, welcome! Likewise, I never came across your blog before the Holiday Swap! I’m glad you liked the gifts. I’m so nervous about it as it looks like so many people give awesome gifts.

I didn’t know there were two translations! I did see the old copy of I Am a Cat at Japanese Foundation Library here, but they’re published in separate volumes and look old, so I insisted to read the newly published one. I thought they’re of the same translation. Apparently not!

Well I will continue reading my copy but I’d be interested to peek through the older translation when I see one. Apart from my qualms about the human names and food, the sentences actually flow rather nicely. I found it to be probably one of the better translated books.

You read really fast! I’m now sure you’ll finish it before I do. I got distracted by other books :)

Hi Mee, just to let you know I received my lovely Christmas gift this morning. It was lovely – thank you so much for sending the lovely gifts. I can’t believe I have never come across your blog before, especially as so many of my blogging friends visit you. I shall be back. Thanks for stopping by my blog too.
