“America’s Favorite Cat”? I’ve never heard of this feline. The Best Cat Ever. The Best Cat Ever is a sequel to cat fancy books with other original titles like: The Cat Who Came for Christmas, and The Cat and the Curmudgeon. This is the “poignant conclusion to the saga of the haughty, endearing Polar Bear…” Someone wrote a saga about a cat? How can you write an entire saga about a freakin’ cat? The haughty, endearing polar bear, and his cranky, lovable human.” If that doesn’t grab you, then you should check for a pulse.

Amazon + J.K. Rowling

Amazon.com:

We’re incredibly excited to announce that Amazon has purchased J.K. Rowling’s The Tales of Beedle the Bard at an auction held by Sotheby’s in London. The book of five wizarding fairy tales, referenced in the last book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is one of only seven handmade copies in existence. The purchase price was £1,950,000, and Ms. Rowling is donating the proceeds to The Children’s Voice campaign, (at first I was like, “Hey, that’s a buttload of money”, but then I as like, “Oh, but you’re giving it to a charity… that’s nice, J.K., really nice”) a charity she co-founded to help improve the lives of institutionalized children across Europe.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard is extensively illustrated and handwritten by the bard herself–all 157 pages of it. It’s bound in brown Moroccan leather and embellished with five hand-chased hallmarked sterling silver ornaments and mounted moonstones.
