The Goddess and the cat

This series is a wonderful place to escape to. I found Tamora when I was in my twenties. When this series celebrated its 40th anniversary Audible finally released them as audiobooks. I’ve read the series over and over through the years. Being able to listen to them is a nice blessing. I’m grateful for it and would love to see the rest of her books released the same way. Also I believe that Tamora’s daughter is an author as well. I will try to read her back lists as well as her mother’s. I’m grateful to read and listen to one of my favourite series in a new way. Being in this world with these characters is always a pleasure.
