"Sleight Of Paw"

(A Magical Cats Mystery #2)

by

Sofie Kelly

"Small-town librarian Kathleen Paulson never wanted to be the crazy cat lady. But after Owen and Hercules followed her home, she realized her mind wasn't playing tricks on her-her cats have magical abilities."

I'm enjoying these Cozy Mysteries.  The second in the "A Magical Cats Mystery Series."  The heroine has no idea "how" her cats "do" what they do.  Nor does she have any special "abilities," herself.  It's a refreshing take on the "Cozy Paranormal Mystery" genre.

"Summers In France"

"Summers In France"

by

Kathryn M. Ireland

Delightful coffee-table-kind of a book.  Beautiful photos, interesting prose,  gathered from near 20 years of summers lived in France.  In the old farm house, which the author renovated, inside and out.

"If Books Could Kill"

"If Books Could Kill"

by

Kate Carlisle

-sigh-  Seduced by this particular cover art.  -sigh-  And it did sound promising.  But....  T'was way too much romantic chick-lit for me.  ("Dare" I say, kinda' too-good-to-be-true, and silly, chick-lit...)  

So I didn't really enjoy it, as a "cozy," for me, that is.  But!  To read other reader's takes on this book, please click here.

"Murder By Mocha"

"Murder By Mocha"

This is #10 in the "Coffeehouse Mystery" Series.  But the first one, I have read.  So I may well not have enjoyed the book, in the satisfying way, in which a Series Follower would.  I did enjoy the read, just not like others have. 

Another possibility (for my not being thrilled with it) is the sad fact that I can no longer enjoy real coffee or chocolate.  (Guess I liked the Coffeehouse atmosphere....)   But the choice of this book topic, was rather silly of me.   

All you who can enjoy both coffee and chocolate, have a ball with this cozy.  :-)  Read more of what others have said, by clicking here....

"A Deadly Grind"

"A Deadly Grind"

by

Victoria Hamilton

"When vintage cookware and cookbook collector Jaymie Leighton spies an original 1920s Hoosier brand kitchen cabinet at an estate auction, it’s love at first sight. Despite the protests of her sister that the 19th-century yellow-brick house they share in Michigan is already too cluttered with Jaymie’s “junk,” she successfully outbids the other buyers and........."

Another "Cozy," but this one could have been made better, by some editing...  For me, at least...

"Out Of Circulation"

"Out Of Circulation"

by

Miranda James

This is the 4th in a series (Cat In The Stacks Mysteries) and the first, I have read.  

A Maine Coon Cat is a great plot idea.  I love them.  But I actually got tired of hearing all about how he accompanied the hero, everywhere...  And hearing how every one doted on him.  Just me........

I'm sure the character growth, in the whole Series, is great.  Perhaps I should have begin, at the beginning....?

"Curiosity Thrilled The Cat"

"Curiosity Thrilled The Cat"

by

Sofie Kelly

Another fun "Cozy" Mystery.  

"When librarian Kathleen Paulson moved to Mayville Heights, Minnesota, she had no idea that two strays would nuzzle their way into her life."
 

Another librarian, and cats...  But these cats seem to have *interesting* abilities...  Also "but", they remain quite cat-like.  Which is refreshing.

Fun read...  Other than the "nit-pick" that the author named one cat "Owen," and then named a human character "Oren."  -sigh-  Had to concentrate, to keep the two names/cat/character straight.
