The boy the mole the fox and the horse

 

The boy the mole the fox and the horse by Charlie Mackesy

This is a small book with lot of pictures/sketches by the author. It took about 30mins to read this book.

It's one of the best book I have read in recent times. I must have read it 5 to 6 times. It's beautifully soothing experience. 

The book is also made into a movie. Equally soothing to watch.

As the author says this book is for everyone... from eight to eighty :)

My rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My favourite quote from the book 

"What's the bravest thing you have ever said?" Asked the boy

"Help" said the horse.

The art of purring by David Michie

 

Another super lovely book by David Michie. I finished reading the book The art of purring in 4 days. It's a small book of 200 pages. You can finish it in one day. I was trying to read Friendship with God in parallel. 

This is book 2 of the series of 5 books: The Dalai Lama's Cat.  I read the first book thrice if I am right. I bought the book 2 long ago. I already bought book 3: The power of meow. However to break the pattern, I will temporarily pause and read something else before I come back to book 3.

Just like book 1, The art of purring is beautifully written by David Michie. He is such a good writer. Lovely narration from a cat's view. He makes you walk around like a cat in your mind. The light sense of humour, subtle twists in the story, casual way of including spiritual teachings.....no overdoing of purring just to fit into the title of the book..... yet so relevant. I felt fresh reading this book. Just like book 1, I loved it. My rating: 5/5
