Book-a-book of the Month Club discussion

As we start reading The Travelling Cat Chronicles, feel free to share your first impressions here.

I couldn’t get this from the library so I bought it. The book will be delivered on Friday so I will start it then.

Oh! I thought your last message was that you could find it at the library! I hope I am not making things too complicated for you! :)

Not at all! I love owning books :) someone borrowed it before I had it reserved so I would have had to wait. I looked at the book and decided it’s worth the cost. Really looking forward to reading it :)

Whew! Good to know - I hope you enjoy!

I think this book was written for me. I’ve only read one chapter but I don’t want it to end! We have a random cat that has become ours so it’s really speaking to me.

Awesome! So cool that you are connecting to it!

I was able to get the audiobook from Overdrive, so I'll be "reading" slower than usual. I am really looking forward to this one.

Feel like this is a book I will re-read with a highlighter at hand- so many wonderful thought provoking sentences. I love this is a book I would have never picked up as I’m not a ‘cat person’ but it’s so much more than that- good choice!

I loved the style of this book. So sweet!

This is a beautiful story. I don't know if it's simply the translation process, but this feels like a Haruki Murakami or a Kazuo Ishiguro. Very calm, smooth and sweet "voice."

Finally got started on this today - LOVE IT so far. The pages just fly by!
