And the kids are back in school. It\u2019s a perfect time to cozy down with the kids and read before bedtime.<\/p>\n<p>Those of us without small children can choose grown-up books and enjoy a fantasy, science fiction story, adventure, or a good mystery while sipping chamomile tea and nibbling on dark chocolates treats. Oh yes, let\u2019s light the fireplace and don those comfy slippers, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t read any of the Klepto Cat Mysteries, this would be a good time to do it. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2035\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MainecoonCatnapped-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MainecoonCatnapped-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MainecoonCatnapped-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MainecoonCatnapped.jpg 745w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Maybe it\u2019s on your to-do list. You\u2019ll read one or finish the last one you started when you have time. Make time. Give yourself this gift. Make it a priority because you really want to do it.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who don\u2019t know, the Klepto Cat Mysteries are cozy mysteries for adults. They feature a precocious cat named Rags who can\u2019t keep his paws off other people\u2019s things and some of the things he finds help to solve a crime or a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently 31 books in the Klepto Cat Mystery series and, according to fans, they continue to delight and mystify readers. A comment I get often is, \u201cI love Rags.\u201d And he gleans this adoration even though he\u2019s an ordinary cat. He doesn\u2019t speak in the stories. He doesn\u2019t have a point of view\u2014the stories are human-driven. But boy is Rags large and in charge in the stories.<\/p>\n<p>If you like light reading, mysteries, and cats, I think you\u2019ll enjoy the Klepto Cat Mysteries.<\/p>\n<p>Start with Book One: <em>Catnapped<\/em>. Or read Book Twenty-nine, <em>The Meowmoirs of a Klepto Cat<\/em> to get an overview of the series. Has anyone read this book, yet? I\u2019d love some feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Book 31 is out in print. Purchase <em>FURever Bound<\/em> at Amazon.com. The Kindle version should be available sometime next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October has been deemed National Book Month as it\u2019s starting to cool down in most parts of the U.S. It\u2019s getting dark early.
