Greetings! We've picked up a tiny, tiny, tiny little kitten in the neighbor's garden a couple of weeks ago. I took him to the vet this morning and she doesn't think he is much older than 6 weeks (I know - aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh). My husband calls him "Stinkie". That roughly translates to Smelly Cat. Yea! I've got my own Smelly Cat. So today's Cover Characteristics will be dedicated to my brand new Smelly Cat. We'll get you some Perfume my boy. 


Not the easiest of book covers to find... But I did manage to find a few and even added one or two to my reading list.

My favorite Covers (yes, all 3. Okay, you choose):

23208065 26625494 31291543


Such beautiful covers! But I don't know if I want to read it though. Has anybody else read it and will you recommend it? 

But I know I will read the next ones:

16089247 1400099  12886063


The next one is great cover, but not my reading preference at all. 

16089919



There you have it. My selection of books featuring perfume on the cover. Please share your covers with me as well!

Wait! Before you go, let's all sing together for my brand new Smelly Cat:

    Hopefully your smelly cat won't stay smelly for too long! I'm sure he's a cutie even if he is smelly. So it turns out I love covers with perfume bottles because these are all amazing. I'm curious about The Perfume Collector and the Book of Lost Fragrances and that whole series at the top looks amazing!

      He's not smelly at all! It's just my husband who says so. I will be posting a new Book Travelling Thursdays later today, featuring Smelly Cat again. Stay posted!

      The Perfume Collector has been on my shelf for some time, don't know when I'll get to it, but I hope it's soon.

      Thanks for stopping by Katherine!

    Haha, do you sing Smelly Cat to him? I wanna see a picture though, he sounds cute!

    Wow, you did great at this topic! I didn't even think of the Sineater's Daughter covers. Those are gorgeous. You win the perfume topic lol. (I didn't even bother making a post because I had literally no covers.) And I agree that the pink in the last one is super pretty. The Book of Lost Fragrances is nice too.

      Oh Goodness no - I sound even worse than Phoebe when singing! The first day or two that we had him he was crying the whole time and he had one terrible voice! I wanted to call him Florence Foster Jenkins.... I will be posting another Book Travelling Thursdays later today and Smelly Cat will feature there again (thanks to you and yes, I will include a picture).

      Those covers of the Sineater's Daughter really is gorgeous! But I don't know if I want to read the books. Have you read them?

      Thanks for the visit Kristen!

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m
