Summary

Fire, smoke, and ash consume the continent in the darkest chapter yet in The Call of the Rift series 
		 
The Battle of Tjarnnaast left its mark: Katja is adrift, haunted by her memories of the battle and dark visions of a desolate wasteland. Her only guidance is her parents’ cryptic messages from the spirit world. On their instructions, Katja goes south to track down her mercenary friend Tiernan. Maybe together, they can find the Rúonbattai’s elusive cleric leader, defeat their ranks forever, and end the war. Then Katja could finally go home — if she can decide where home is.
		 
Yet Tiernan is missing, and Katja’s best hope of rescuing him is by striking unlikely alliances — with untrustworthy acquaintances and new allies hiding dangerous secrets. Druids whisper of dry winters and warming oceans and the war-torn nation is a tinderbox ready to ignite. Katja must use everything in her power, from her water magic to her hand in marriage, to battle the growing flames. If they erupt into a wildfire, everyone and everything she loves will burn with them.
		 
About the Series
		 
Set in two parallel worlds, this series follows Kateiko Rin, a headstrong teenage girl with the power to shapeshift and control water, as she grows up in the war-torn coastal rainforest. As the worlds diverge, so do the versions of herself. Orphaned Kako takes up arms to protect her people, while refugee Katja finds purpose as a healer. Each girl’s fiction is the other’s truth — in love, war, and everything in between. The prospect of a rift opening between worlds poses a question to characters and readers: if you could cross into another version of your life, would you? The Call of the Rift series has been praised for its intricate plotting, meticulous worldbuilding, and expert writing, from author Jae Waller, a talented newcomer to YA fantasy fiction. The series appeals to the mature reader of YA fantasy looking for romantic content, women-led fiction, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC representation, and complex worlds and characters. It began in 2018 with The Call of the Rift: Flight and will conclude with the fifth book in the series, The Call of the Rift: Fuse, in 2025.
Available since: 05/23/2023.
Print length: 488 pages.

    Cat Grooming - Keeping Your...

    Grooming is an essential aspect of caring for your cat, extending far beyond aesthetics. It plays a crucial role in maintaining your feline friend's overall health and well-being. While cats are naturally fastidious creatures that often handle much of their grooming on their own, they still rely on you for additional care to ensure they remain healthy, comfortable, and happy. 
The benefits of grooming your cat are numerous. Regular grooming helps to remove loose hair and reduce shedding, which is especially important for minimizing hairballs—a common issue for many cats. Grooming also allows you to identify potential health problems early, such as skin irritations, parasites, or lumps, which may otherwise go unnoticed. By keeping their coat and skin in good condition, grooming contributes to your cat's comfort and can even improve their mood. 
Each cat has unique grooming needs based on factors such as their breed, coat length, and age. Long-haired cats, like Persians or Maine Coons, require more frequent brushing to prevent matting and tangling, while short-haired breeds, like American Shorthairs, may need less frequent attention. Senior cats and those with special needs might require gentle handling and extra care to ensure their grooming sessions are stress-free.

    The Elephant Of My Heart

    "The Elephant of My Heart" is an unusual children's story. Jessica Clements, the author and narrator, had a normal childhood until she was nine years old. That was when her life changed dramatically when she had a brain haemorrhage. It was in her hospital bed that she heard a knock at her door. She got up and opened the door and there was an elephant! It turned out he was the Animal of her Heart. This elephant took her on an amazing inner journey to meet all of her other animals. They are a snake, a dragonfly, a phoenix, its fleas, a black panther and a goldfish. They taught her that the scars that criss-cross her head can be seen in a different way because now they are sutured with a black panther’s whisker and held by a dragonfly. This gave Jessica a new way of looking at her scars. It reframed them offering a more positive way of being with them. 
This is a book written in the childish voice. It dispels the notion of hiding from trauma and instead makes it the main character. It is this that each of the animals Jessica meets takes her to. Reassuring her that there is a life beyond major brain injury and that it is full of fun, light, self love and self-belief. This makes it a wonderful story that can be enjoyed by children from the ages of 4 and above. 
The preface are letters written by Elizabeth Clements, Jessica's mother explaining why Jessica came to be in the hospital. These provide the background for the adult readers. 
"I love children's books like this that weave in wisdom and humour for adults. There's a thread of playfulness expressed through the quirky creatures....The imagery is captivating, and there's an atmosphere of mystery and subtlety which is often absent in modern children's books. This story ripples through the heart and mind long after finishing it." Mr S Freedman 
"A book filled with words of wisdom and healing offered within a most enchanting and heart-warming story." SCC
