"Out Of Circulation"

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"

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.

The 2nd book in the new "A Magical Bakery Mystery" Series, and I'm continuing to love it.

Elizabeth commented;

 "I absolutely love the world that Bailey Cates has created in the Magical Bakery series and how Katie's relationships are with all the other characters in the novels."

I agree!!!  And I like how the main characters are being more fleshed out, as well.  Making a standard plot line (of "heroine-has-two-guys-to-choose-from") much more interesting.

"Buried In A Bog"

"Buried In A Bog"

I loved it!  And it's the first in a new series, called "A County Cork Mystery Series."  Hooray!  More to look forward to.

Obviously set in Ireland, in a tiny little village, from whence came our heroine's Gran.  Who made her promise to visit there, after Gran's death.

Twists and turns...  Keep the reader interested...  Lots of background info, on Ireland and the Irish, given...

"Entwined"

"Entwined" by Heather Dixon

Who could resist that cover???  :-)

It's a book, based on the old faerie tale "The 12 Dancing Princesses."  

Actually, it was too long, for me.  Too much discription of all the dances, they learned.  Too many *trials* for our heroine.   It was like too many "Perils Of Pauline," and I get tired of books, which put the heroine through too many icky happenings.
