Customer Reviews

Always up to my expectations

The cat who books are my favorite. LJ Braun is an amazing story teller, wholesome, funny and great sense of adventure. Reading about Pickax County and the other small towns take me right back to my youth in Michigan. Love all of her books!

You don't have to be a cat lover...

I have enjoyed several titles by this author. They are always a quick and easy read - very enjoyable!

Koko and Yum Yum Ho Ho!

Snippets of feline life from a favorite author provide light reading and an evening's worth of amusement. Find tales from the past and little insights to the duo's delightful designs on Qwilleran's definition of normal as well as bits recalling characters from the past. This is a good "popcorn" book for a long and blustery winter's night.
