Presenting Tabby in Cat Couture

Tabby: If life is like a stage and we're all merely players then it's all about what will I wear next; right?






A simple pink t-shirt for basic, everyday wear.









The Sweater Girl: Tell Me The Truth Purrlease, Do These Stripes Make Me Look Fat?













For evening wear you simply can't go wrong with sparkly hot pink!









Yawn! Modeling is such hard work!





Coming soon to a theatre near you: SLEEP OF THE DEVIL CAT!





If Piers Gaveston is the Lord of Misrule in mommy's book (THE CONFESSION OF PIERS GAVESTON) then I'm her Lady of Misrule, and with this court jester cap and collar I'm also all set for Mardi Gras!









But, on the other hand...I think I'd rather just go to sleep.






With the exception of the court jester's cap, Tabby has been dressed for this photo shoot in a lavish wardrobe purchased from www.mymeow-wear.com

Not My Daughter by Barbara Delinsky

Author Barbara Delinsky has a talent for choosing thought-provoking situations chock-full of real life drama to spin her stories around, and "Not My Daughter" is no exception.

Dedicated high school principal Susan Tate is a sterling example of what, with will and determination, a hardworking single mother can accomplish, that life doesn't always have to spiral down for a teenage mom. Her seventeen-year-old daughter, Lily, is her pride and joy, a model student, pretty, smart, and full of promise, and the two share a wonderful, close relationship...until Lily joyfully announces that she is pregnant.

But this is no typical teenage pregnancy, it is not an accident resulting from negligence, a broken condom, a forgotten pill, or a failure to take preventative measures, it was planned as part of a pregnancy pact between Lily and her closest friends, all of whom have decided they want to be mothers before their lives are cluttered up with college, careers, husbands, and other concerns, blithely overlooking all the difficulties and problems that assail teenage mothers.

As the pact becomes public knowledge Susan, as the high school principal ,finds herself at the center of a maelstrom of controversy as her own past is dredged up and, despite all her hardwork to prevent her own daughter and other young girls from going through what she did, her job is soon at risk, and even her own fitness as a mother is called into question.

"Not My Daughter" is a gripping and provocative story about choices and their consequences, the blame game, and the ties that bind mothers and daughters. I think this book would make an excellent choice for discussion groups and also for mothers and daughters .

To win a signed copy of The Boleyn Wife leave your email address in the comments section below. Contest is open to U.S. residents only (I'm sorry I cannot ship internationally or to APO/Military addresses). Contest ends February 2nd.
Description:
Shy, plain Lady Jane Parker feels out of place in Henry VIII's courtly world of glamour and intrigue--until she meets the handsome George Boleyn. Overjoyed when their fathers arrange a match, her dreams of a loving union are waylaid when she meets George's sister, Anne. For George is completely devoted to his sister, and cold and indifferent to his bride. As Anne acquires a wide circle of admirers, including King Henry, Jane's resentment grows. But if becoming Henry's queen makes Anne the most powerful woman in England, it also makes her highly vulnerable. And as Henry, desperate for a male heir, begins to tire of his mercurial wife, the stage is set for the ultimate betrayal...
Encompassing the reigns of five of Henry's queens, THE BOLEYN WIFE is an unforgettable story of ambition, lust, and jealousy, of the power of love to change the course of history, and of the terrible price of revenge.
