  1. Very pleased that you’re joining in again, and what a wonderful list. I’ve read and enjoyed The Cat Who Caught a Killer and will be reading the third of the series for ReadingtheMeow. I’ve come across the Campus Cat book but was a little wary since it seems the cat is harmed and I don’t handle that too well.

    1. Thanks for the content warning about The Case of the Campus Cat. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it too well either. I will look through my collection for something else to read instead.
