And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!
1. I would love to find an easier way to dust. My house is filled with small items that collect dust, and I'm terribly allergic!
2. My October list includes finishing up my Halloween decorating, shopping for new Christmas decor and voting early.
3. I know better than to eat raw onion. Dad loves onion sandwiches, but they repeat on me for hours.
4. Hurting an animal should be illegal. Technically it is, but the penalties are nowhere near harsh enough.

Bell, Book and Corpses by T.C. LoTempio ~ Blog Tour with Book Review & Giveaway
It’s Halloween trick-or-treachery when murder pays a visit to a cursed mansion in the new Nick and Nora mystery . . .
Waincroft Manor has long been tied to rumors of witchcraft and fatal curses, and to Nora Charles, that makes it the perfect place for a Halloween fundraiser. But her first trip to the deserted old mansion turns out to be truly ghoulish when she discovers a dead body. What’s more, the corpse is laid out in a coffin—with two bite marks on its neck. Then the autopsy comes back showing that the body was drained of blood, and there’s no stopping the local gossips from whispering the word vampire to anyone who will listen.
Determined to dispel the rumors and save the fundraiser, Nora sets out to prove the murderer was quite human after all. Sifting through the clues, she learns of a bitter family rivalry that spans generations, and a more recent conflict that may point to the motive for the murder. And when Nick spells out a clue that proves to be the missing piece of the puzzle, Nora knows she’ll have to watch her back—because there’s a killer out there who wants to keep some secrets buried, and they’ll happily bury Nora right along with them . . .

Looking for the purrfect cozy to get into the Halloween spirit? Look no further than Bell, Book and Corpses. This 7th book in the Nick & Nora mystery series has it all - a creepy old mansion, rumors of witchcraft, curses, paranormal investigators, a dead body in a coffin, and vampires!
This story can easily be read as a standalone, but for newcomers to the series, Nick and Nora are a crime-solving team to be reckoned with. Nora runs the family sandwich shop, Hot Bread, while also working part-time for the online magazine Noir, where she writes about unsolved mysteries. Nick, a shining star among feline detectives, reveals key clues to Nora with the help of his favorite toy, Scrabble tiles.
Bell, Book and Corpses is chock full of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. And the final reveal of what Nick was trying to tell Nora with his beloved Scrabble tiles put the biggest smile on my face! He is one brilliant, unique kitty (and could he be any more adorable on the cover?) Four paws up!

While Toni Lotempio does not commit – or solve – murders in real life, she has no trouble doing it on paper. Her lifelong love of mysteries began early on when she was introduced to her first Nancy Drew mystery at age 10 – The Secret in the Old Attic. She and her cat pen the Nick and Nora mystery series originally from Berkley Prime Crime and now with Beyond the Page Publishing. They also write the Cat Rescue series from Crooked Lane and the Pet Shop series, originally published by Midnight Ink and rebranded last year as “Urban Tails Pet Shop Mysteries.” Book six in the Nick and Nora mysteries, A PURR BEFORE DYING, is released this February from Beyond the Page. There is also a new series, Tiffany Austin Food Blogger, coming out in April.

1. I have had Covid one time.
2. There is no acceptable excuse for hurting an animal.
3. I wish fall weather lasted all year long.
4. I probably look silly when I walk the neighborhood with dad with a death grip on his belt, but I don't care. Anything I can do to keep him upright I'll do.

Unsuccessful Selfies #PetPhotoFails
Meows from Mudpie!
Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop! After a wet, humid summer, we've had a pawsome month of weather. We didn't have a single drop of rain from the 9th to the 25th!!! I get to soak up the warm sun in the daytime and curl up on Mommy's nap at night. It's the best of both worlds!
