Hello to all my Friends!

Summer Vacation is just around the corner and last year when I was hosting the Wednesday GEDCT and one of the questions on a chat I posted was...

...I am looking for suggestions on some good summer reading material...Please share some of your favorite reads...

I will start....One of my favorite series to read is by Author Lilian Jackson Braun - The Cat Who...Series

They are fun, mystery type stories that include 2 Siamese cats..Koko and Yum Yum and the man they live with (who is also an author) and other quirky character that get mixed up in crazy capers.
