Hot Off The Presses!

Cat Shining Bright by Shirley Rousseau Murphy came out today, and I drove to the local bookstore to purchase a copy on my lunch break. Even managed to read a couple of chapters...

Has that new book smell!
I wore my Hula Cats socks in honor

I started reading The Joey Grey Mysteries in 2009, when I discovered the series while kicking around the public library.  Went out and purchased every book already published, and read them in order. Now as new books appear, I drive to the bookstore and buy!  Yes, they are cheaper if pre-ordered, but the act of picking it off the shelf is now a thrill that I relish.  A routine, if you will...and we all know how much cats LOVE routine!

Shhh...don't tell The Hubby; he thinks I only pick up books at the resale shops.

    1. Since I go to the library so much, I rarely buy books anymore, but this series has been a favorite since 2009, and I have every one.

  9. With all the cat mysteries I have read, I don't think I've ever read any of this series. Can you believe it?! I know I am missing out. :)

    1. Are you kidding? When I first discovered "The Cat Who Could Read Backwards", I was hooked and I read every one after that in order. I reread some of my favorites from time to time...do you?
