Journal Entry 1 by alkaline-kiwi from Auckland, Auckland Province New Zealand on Tuesday, July 12, 2011
Started reading this one but decided to send it on to a new BookCrosser who also loves cats.
Received today in mail as a surprise along with a bookring book I was listed for. Will give it a read as soon as I finish a few others - thanks for sending :) And also, thanks so much for the Bookcrossing labels you sent, much appreciated!

Read a couple of the stories but couldn't really get into it right now, life is getting in the way of my reading, LOL. I sent this on to Beth in Texas who is also a cat lover.....
Cool, another bonus book all the way from New Zealand! :) I love books about kitties, so will read this and release it to another fellow kitty lover!
thanks to you both!

Oooh, kitty cat tales? I don't even try to resist. Purrrfect time for some cat stories with some cats and hot chocolate... there seems to be plenty of authors in the book, so I'm sure any cat lover will love some authors they love (and try some others as new stories, why not). (Seriously.. just to list a few: Italo Calvino, Dorothy L. Sayers, Roald Dahl, Bram Stoker, Emile Zola, Edgar Allan Poe, and a bunch of others that I didn't recognize as much).
Maybe I'll read a few to my kitties as their evening fairy "tales" too...

Read some and skipped a few - I hate rating books by different authors when I liked some and some not so much. Some I enjoyed quite (and some skipped). ^_^

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Added to The Wild Thing Book Box.
Kitties. Christmas. Only thing missing is chocolate.
I am a sucker for cat stories and this had a decent mix. It was nice to reread Kipling's The Cat Who Walked By Himself and I enjoyed a taste of Patricia Highsmith. My favorite cat-based fairy tale, The White Cat, was there, in a slightly different form, as was Puss in Boots. Some of the stories I could have done without, or would have preferred in a shorter form, but it was a decent read for a hectic season.
This book is going to meet-up with me today and hopefully going home with someone else.
