Pride and Prejudice and Kitties by Jane Austen, Pamela Jane, and Deborah Guyol
What if Jane Austen's
Pride and Prejudice was told from a cat's point of view? On the heels of
smash hits like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and I Can Has
Cheezburger, this hilarious mash-up by children's author Pamela Jane and
photographer Deborah Guyol spins a fresh, quirky take on two of the
things we just can't get enough of: classic cats and classic Jane.
Pride
and Prejudice and Kitties juxtaposes wacky photos of cats with the
wicked humor of Jane Austen, and it's just in time for the 200-year
anniversary of the publication of the original Pride and Prejudice.
Soulful Mr. Darcy gazes at Elizabeth Bennet in fascination; hysterical
Mrs. Bennet yowls that no one understands her; somnolent Mr. Hurst
passes out on the sofa after dinner; arrogant Lady Catherine hisses at
Elizabeth. Each photo includes a hilarious caption that goes along with
the text of Pride and Prejudice, told from a feline perspective.
Pride
and Prejudice and Kitties is a book for cat-lovers, Austen-lovers, and
people who love to laugh--in other words, just about everyone. The
adorable meets the absurd!

On Earth,
seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander was taught to never peek, but if she
hopes to survive life on her new planet, Loge, her eyes must never shut.
Because Zeus will do anything to save the Ancients from their dying
planet, and he has a plan.
Thousands of humans crossed over to
Loge after a poisonous neurotoxin released into Earth's atmosphere,
nearly killing them. They sought refuge in hopes of finding a new life,
but what they became were slaves, built to wage war against their home
planet. That is, unless Ari and Jackson can stop them. But on Loge,
nothing is as it seems...and no one can be trusted.

Week in Review:
Tiddles is a suave, carefree kitty cat whose only pleasures in life are eating mice, wooing the ladies, and being generally apathetic toward his owner, Jake. But when a toxic spill occurs outside of town, Tiddles finds himself savagely attacked by a nasty-looking radioactive field mouse, and he wakes up as one of the undead. However, he still retains a bit of compassion and refrains - for now - from zombie bacchanalian delights, such as eating living beings' brains! Umm...any brains at all!
However, Tiddles, a.k.a Zombie Cat, is decomposing rapidly and would prefer to live a normal life in the zombie apocalypse with his owner. But will Jake let in his former cuddly pet, or will ZC be doomed to roam the streets trying to avoid the inevitable pull of his undead yearnings? (From Goodreads)
Best Bits: This book is awesome! It's equal bits comedy and horror. I knew from the outset that I was going to love it. I'm a cat person, and Tiddles looks quite a bit like my first cat, Fluffy. Tiddles is a total ladies man...before his insides end up on the outside. The fact that he wants to go home to his owner (despite being hungry for brains) makes him the coolest zombie ever...That and his ability to dance like a popstar. Jake and Zombie Cat (R.I.P? Tiddles) make quite a pair, and had me shaking with laughter.
So, if you know someone who is both cat-loving and zombie-fearing I'd suggest this hilarious adult picture book!
It did get me thinking, would I let my cat in if he was a zombie?
