又進入book stock up season~~~

Books, Cats, and Bloody Murders!!! What more could you ask for?  These are the perfect ingredients likely making up an ideal book that I will avidly add to my already sprawling "collection" (more like random motleys of books, really).  But anyways, I am totally bewitched by mysteries (as I've always been) that involve cats, little remote/scenic towns, libraries, herbs, cheese/flower shops, decadent cuisines, and....you get the idea~~~ so with these long list of keywords in mind (meaning MANY potential targets), I headed to my local B&N (for lack of better options) and started browsing up and down the mystery aisles....and.....ta da~~~~ here are the finds of the day~~~~ (I'm such a hopelessly bibliophile-spendthrift)

Kate Carlisle - Homicide in Hardcover (The Bibliophile Mysteries)

Kate Carlisle - If Books Could Kill (The Bibliophile Mysteries)

Lorna Barrett - Bookmarked for Death (The Book Town Mysteries)

 Avery Aames - The Long Quiche Goodbye (The Cheese Shop Mysteries)

and finally... (for the moment, at least)

Nancy Pickard - The Secret Ingredient Murders (A Eugenia Potter Mystery)

Oh, and the one I'm reading right now...you know, I DO believe I was meant to pick up this book which triggered a whole new passion for this mystery genre I never paid much attention to before.  The other day, I just sauntered into the B&N as I always do, and I was supposedly looking for Victorian Period novels, but I just happened to shot a random glance at the mystery shelves, and this book stood itself out...I saw the cover and I just had to have it...

Rebecca M. Hale - How to Wash a Cat

And I discovered Susan Wittig Albert, she writes the China Bayles Herb Mysteries and the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter Mysteries, and other Victorian/Edwardian setting mysteries!!  Imagine the delight of finding an author that writes all the "right things"!!!  (Well, they are RIGHT things to me).  Anyways, I couldn't wait logging into my Amazon account...i know, i know...and then I read her blog, and found this lovely lovely saying:

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.--Jorge Luis Borges

I meow for that~~~~
