That they hear "cat" when you're describing books with cat themes or characters, and then they perk up and want to see what's going on and jump up to see for themselves?<br /><br />As you can tell, I'm really pondering this.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-21612459910450458292011-06-21T16:41:38.697-05:002011-06-21T16:41:38.697-05:00Isn't that great, Kris?

When I started working on the video, Jinx was the only one in the room. I certainly had no idea Stormy would come out, and decide to take part.<br /><br />I'll have to go back and try Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter some day. I started it, and just couldn't get into it. Maybe it was my mood at the time. I'll try again sometime.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-87330464996526412962011-06-21T03:14:01.426-05:002011-06-21T03:14:01.426-05:00Lots of many good books in July, many to add to th...Lots of many good books in July, many to add to the TBR list.<br /><br />Those cats are just adorable. How is it that one of them, this time, Stormy, always come in on cue, when a cat-featured mystery is being discussed? It's uncanny. (Jinx has done it.)<br /><br />One book to add to the books mentioned here, but which is a terrific read is Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin.<br /><br />I can't say enough about this book, which is a mystery, but is about friendship and more. It took my breath away, made me cry, then impressed a friend and her father.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-36027031694320709872011-06-20T07:15:40.808-05:002011-06-20T07:15:40.808-05:00Yes, Beth.

Stormy didn't make enough of her cameo appearance, so I had to allow the boys to have a shot at it.<br /><br />July has a good selection of books.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-21593282605485704072011-06-19T22:03:35.809-05:002011-06-19T22:03:35.809-05:00My goodness, I will have to add so many of these t...My goodness, I will have to add so many of these to my reading list!

He's usually sleeping in the bedroom when I do the book chats. He's not a morning cat. Dickens was one of the kittens born behind a bookcase in my Florida house. He's named after Charles Dickens, and he's a sweetie.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-83957644882435507442011-06-19T07:31:10.000-05:002011-06-19T07:31:10.000-05:00Fun as always, Lesa.

You're right, Elizabeth.<br /><br />Dickens is a big boy. The friend who stayed when I went to Ohio referred to him as a pillow that purrs.
