Tempest in the Tea Leaves (A Fortune Teller Mystery)
10 journalers for this copy...
Like Furball, I am not a believer in fortune tellers, et. al, but that did not stop me from loving this book. Sunny is a bit of a ditz, and for sure an odd ball, especially in her family, so I could really relate. I was a little struck by her being dumb enough to tell everything to every suspect, and I found the whole "partner" thing a bit far-fetched, but what the heck?
Absolutely love "Morty" the cat -- I, too, believe he is more than just a ghost -- and enjoyed the way the author took typical mystifying cat behavior and gave it another meaning: the way they disappear to who-knows-where for as long as they please, the way they seem to be able to move from one side of the room to the other in the blink of an eye, the attitude, and the seeming to know what is about to happen. Now that I think about, "The Cat Who" series also seems to capitalize on all of those, but I don't enjoy those books nearly as much as I did this one. Think I will keep my eye out for more in this series, given how much I liked the quirky characters.
Debating between saving this for MaryZee's cat-themed book box and doing something else with it, but what? Heck, I may take it to Ireland -- we shall see what the spirits tell me is best.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
"Don't ever apologize to an author for buying something in paperback, or taking it out from a library (that's what they're there for. Use your library). Don't apologize to this author for buying books second hand, or getting them from bookcrossing or borrowing a friend's copy. What's important to me is that people read the books and enjoy them, and that, at some point in there, the book was bought by someone. And that people who like things, tell other people. The most important thing is that people read... "
— Neil Gaiman

Tea was the key word here, but I've had had my fortune told (from cards and the palm of my hand) and some of it has come true. Looking forward to reading this, thanks everybody (several familiar bookcrossers along the line).
Edit: This teapot and two mugs I managed to get home unharmed in my rucksack when interrailing in York in 1986. Dragging these all through Europe - madness!
It says "First in a new series" in the cover. All you Oxfordians (6of8, Soozreader and Annelis), remember what Ann Granger told her literary agent said: "Readers love series. Publishers love series. And how many book is a series? At least five! Second is a sequel, third makes a trilogy, fourth a quartet, but five is a series." I would not mind reading more of this series.
Edit: Here is Ann Granger telling already about the seventh book... Or at least having seven fingers up on her lecture at the Oxford Convention 2015.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.
I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.
When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

I read the book today, not at all my cup of tea; ha! No pun intended 😐
But I very much like the idea of helping books travel in this way and would like to release more writings into the wild for others to find and read. Hopefully enjoy or perhaps leave them pondering.
Ironically I'm interested in dementia, which this book touches on and which inspires me to release a wonderful book on that subject: Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healy, in the hope it helps those of us fortunate enough to have all our faculties, understand those struggling as they begin to loose theirs.
I intend to leave this book in a coffee shop in Norwich City, where I hope it will be found .
