Chili Bruce isn't much for my reading when I should be admiring him!

Years ago, a dear friend suggested the book, "Outlander" to me, believing that I'd enjoy it.

I scoffed, ignored the advice, and read other books.

Until a few months ago, that is.

Once I started reading the stories, I didn't stop until I'd read all available books in the series: eight, and then read the novellas and side series books by the author.

And then, I watched the DVD's of the television show.

When Book #9 was published, I put my name on the library list to get a copy...and it's arrived!

One grows with the characters, and lives with them, especially books of over 900 pages.

Too bad I have a full-time job, otherwise I'd read all day, every day.

As how this relates to cats, well, there is one cat in the storyline, Adso, who owns the main characters, Jamie and Clair.

And you can tell that Chili Bruce has an opinion on reading, see image above.

Am thankful for good books, good characters, good writers, and libraries!

A few days ago, Shirley Rousseau Murphy's Facebook page reported that there will be no more Joe Grey books.

I discovered Joe Grey in 2009, while on a 6-month layoff from my job.

There was a lot of time to read!

I purchased every book, instead of checking them out from the library...that's how much I LOVE Joe Grey!

After that, every new book was snapped up on the day it was released.

All good things come to an end, but wait...there's more!

While researching the series, I've just discovered that all of the books are on audiobook.

Woo Hoo!

I've already re-read all of the books many times, but now...I get to listen to them!

Sad to see Joe Grey, Dulcie, and their furry and human families fade away, but I'll never forget these fabulous stories.

And for those who don't know the series...I'll let you in on a secret:

Joe Grey...the cat...can talk!

And he feels it's his duty to assist the local police in solving crime.
