"A Street Cat Named Bob" Book review

Hey, Jess here!

I just had a huge spider in my room. I know I said that I love animals, but spiders not so much. At least not the big ones and especially not in my room (I don't want them making a nest). That doesn't mean they have to die if you ask me. No I just get them outside, that's all. But! On to what I actually wanted to talk about:

Some may have noticed that I have read this book quite recently. And I really liked this book, so I will say something about it. Maybe some others will get interested too, that would be great. I won't be going into the story much, because I don't want to ruin anything for potential readers.

"A Street Cat Named Bob"
As the title may suggest, it is about a cat. But not just any cat. The author is in fact also the main character in this story, well, the human main character, haha. This man, James, is the one who finds the cat, Bob. But it could also be said that it's the other way around. James has no idea wat has happened to Bob in the past, but along the story he tells about all kinds of hints he get from mostly Bob's behaviour. It seems that Bob didn't have the easiest life so to say, but neither has James.

During the story you read about how they grow closer to each other and how James' life chances drastically.

In my opinion it's noticable that James isn't what you call a professional author (he actually mentions this at the end of the book). But this doesn't make the story any less great. Sometimes is felt things were repeated often, things like form of speech or certain events. But when you look back, you'll notice how things were not as similar as you first thought. Also, many times it was kind of hard to put the book down. There weren't exciting things like battles or the like. But there are events that makes you want to know what happens next as soon as possible.

To wrap things up, this story gives you hope. Hope things will get right in the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a story to make them smile... or who loves cats (like I do), haha.

To be continued...

"Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade" Book review

Hey, Jess here! Me, a huge fan of the Assassins Creed game series, is also a hug fan of the Assassins Creed book series. What a coincidence! No, not really, haha. I can't remember when I discovered the books, but I'm definitely sure that I did. Though there is a little catch. Not all the books have been written according to the chronological order from the games. This won't be a problem at all, I'll just follow the games' order and I'll mention in what year the books have been written. Easy peasy lemon squeezy (or something like that)! Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade This book was written in 2011 by Oliver Bowden. This is not the first book he's written, but the story is about Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad who is the first Assassin from the first game. Right of the bat I want to talk about the thing I find the most awesome about the books Bowden has written about Assassins Creed. His books don't just follow the stories of the games. It&

God research: 2. Hou Yi

Hey, Jess here! So I kind of let the game decide for me which god I was going to discuss next. In Smite there is a game mode that's called Assault. In this game mode you het a random god picked out for and you have to do it with that one. Though you do have the option to switch with one of your teammates, but only if they want that too. Because of this, I said to myself "whichever one you get to play with, that will be the one you'll discuss next". And so it happened... Hou Yi in the right upper corner, next to the World Tree, taking aim at the suns.   Hou Yi is from the Chinese mythology and he was a famous archer. He is mostly known from the myth of the Ten Suns. This story is one of the most famous Chinese myths and takes place in prehistoric times. Back then a week consisted of 10 days instead of 7. For every day there was a sun and a sun bearer, also called a Jun-raven, that would take place in the sky for that day. These sun bearers were the sons of

God Research: 7. Chang'e

Hey, Jess here! Quite a while ago already, I wrote about Hou Yi. In this story I mentioned the name Chang'e a few times, because she is Hou Yi's wife. Then it so happened that I were to play Chang'e in a match of Assault in Smite, so now it's time to talk about her. Just like her husband, Chang'e is from the Chinese mythology. She is a beautiful woman who now lives on the moon.  This makes her the moon goddess. But she wasn't always that. There are at least two versions of her story and some details have even more variations. Version 1 Source: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e#/ media/File:Chang%27e_flies_to_the_moon_-_Project_ Gutenberg_eText_15250.jpg When Chang'e still was a young, but already beautiful girl, she actually carried the name Heng'e. At that time she worked in the Jade Emperor's palace which was in heaven. In this palace resided the immortals, good people and also fairies. But one day, Heng'e broke a very
