If you’re a fan of the Cat in the Stacks Mystery series then you are as excited as we are about the release of Out of Circulation this Tuesday. To celebrate the release we are giving away TWO copies – one paperback and one Kindle copy.
Everyone in Athena, Mississippi, knows Charlie Harris, the librarian with a rescued Maine coon cat named Diesel. He’s returned to his hometown to immerse himself in books, but when a feud erupts between the town’s richest ladies, the writing on the wall spells murder.
The Ducote sisters are in a tiff with Vera Cassity over the location of this year’s library fundraising gala, and Charlie would rather curl up in a corner than get into the fray. It seems everyone–even his housekeeper Azalea–has it in for Vera. And at the gala, she gives them good reason, with a public display of rancor aimed at anyone who gets in her way.
But those bitter words wind up being her last. When Charlie discovers Azalea standing over Vera’s dead body, it’s up to him–with a little help from Diesel–to clear Azalea’s name, and catch a killer before his last chapter is finished.

I love Diesel!!! Can’t wait to see what he is up to!
Murder Past Due.. Paperback..
I was hooked when first I discovered Diesel and the Cat in the Stacks Mysteries. These books and Diesel is the reason we went and adopted a cat two weeks ago. Love love love this series! One day I hope to adopt a Maine Coon of my own…
My favorite so far is Lilian Jackson Braun’s The Cat Who… but that is the only series featuring a cat that I’ve read so far! But I have several others on my reading list!
lol forgot to mention which version… and I’d take either (no preference.)
The Sofie Kelly Magical Cat series are my favorite cat cozy books.
My favorite cat sleuth is KoKo, from The Cat Who series; I have several others that feature cats but right now they are all boxed up from my move this fall. Can hardly wait to unpack all my books and settle in for a l-o-n-g read! The Miranda James books are right up there in popularity too!
My favorite series with a cat is the Cat Who series by Lilian Jackson Braun. It was because of that series that I always wanted a cat. And now I have one!
I absolutely adore Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s books..the series is my all-time favorite “cat book” series…(Paperback) Would love to add another cat series to my list!
Opps! Me too, if choose I would love paper version as well. I adore the feel and smell of a cozy mystery, don’t you?
Since I had a Siamese cat of my own growing up who was equally as smart as KoKo, I have to go for Lillian Jackson Braun’s cat who series. But I love cat mysteries and look forward to meeting Diesel
My favourite is Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen series, there is a cat Moishe in it. I’d love to have a kindle version.
I love Charlie and Diesel and can’t wait for this new book to come out (in paperback, please) but my absolute favorite cat in a series is Prozac in Laura Levine’s Jaine Austen series. She’s an absolute riot!
I have to agree with many others and say that Koko and Yum Yum are my favourite fictional felines. I started reading “The Cat Who” series when I was in grade six and I’ve been hooked ever since!
All of the early Cat Who books! My favorite is probably The Cat who Turned On and Off!
The Cat Who Knew Too Much.
All of the Cat Who books are great!
Love cats. They’re smarter than most humans!
I can’t pick just one title from the series by Lillian Jackson Braun. That would be like asking me if I could eat just one piece of chocolate.
I love Diesel! So much fun. He is definitely in my top 3 favorite series with the others being Sofie Kelly’s Magical Cats and Leann Sweeney’s Cat series.
I love Diesel. I also love KoKo from the Cat Who books.
I like the cat in the stacks series, I love books with cats and books involved, makes me feel at home. Thank you for the chance to win
I really liked the book.. Bruja Brouhaha by Rochelle Staab
I would like a paperback book if I win
I have loved the Cat Who books, but since meeting Diesel he has taken over my heart. Who can resist a Maine Coon cat.
I would love the Kindle version
I love cats but have not the pleasure of reading a cozy mystery featuring a cat. I would love this to be the first book.

I like the cat in Kari Lee Townsend’s Fortune Teller mysteries so far. I’m still trying to figure out if he’s a ghost cat or not!
I love her books too!
The first cat mysteries I read were the Cat Who series, so they are my favorite.
This looks like one my daughter will love!

I love The Cats in Trouble Series by Leeann Sweeny. I’ve never read this series but it siunds good. I’d take either versions.
If love the Cat Who mysteries, but with the passing of the author, I need to pick a new author whose books I am excited about. Not just because this is the book featured, but Diesel is my current cat favorite. I would really enjoy the paperback .
Don’t have a favorite cat mystery.
I have several of this series on my to be read shelf, and Im anxious to read them.
I think the cat named Moishie in the Joanne Fluke’s series is cute. =)
I would love the paperback version.
File M for Murder by Miranda James has got to be my favorite. I love Diesel that cat and if he were human, I bet he would have a lot to say. I would love a chance to win this book!
Oops I forgot to add in my comment above that I would love to receive the paperback version
LOVE the Cat Who series…I think the first is still my favorite. Paperback please
Any of Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swenson’s Mysteries
The Cat Who – I read so many. Can’t pick my favorite!
I still love The Cat Who mysteries by Lillian Jackson Braun! They were my first cat cozies, it’s hard to beat ‘em!
I love the Cat in the Stack series. Diesel is one my favorite cats besides my own kitty (Ms. Abby.) I would love the paperback version.
Read the first one in the series…..I love Diesel! I would love to win either format!

You keep putting up so many wonderful books. Is it possible to win them all?
The Cat Who….so wonderful. I read it to my own kitties…lol
Sounds like a great series — paperback
I love Lillian Jackson Braun’s Cat Who series. I even once had a cat I named KoKo. (I simplified the spelling.)
Murder Past Due, loved it!
I’ve read all of Lillian Jackson Braun’s “The Cat Who…” series and all of Joanne Fluke – Hanna Swenson series. I am looking forward to the chance to win a new book with a cat in it. Thanks for the chance.
The Cat Who is my favorite series…but I’ve been wanting to read this series as well.
I am in the US and I would choose the paperback version. Thanks so much!
My favorite cat cozy is Wish You Were Here, the first in the Mrs Murphy series by Rita Mae Brown. I also love Charlie and Diesel. I’d like the kindle version if i win.
The Mrs Murphy cozies, of course!
Kindle for me – thanks!
Oh, Diesel! It’s amazing how many great series there are with cats, but my favorite is Rita Mae Brown’s (and Sneaky Pie Brown’s) Mrs. Murphy series.
I would love to win the paperback. Thanks!
New to this series. But I do love cozy mysteries.
I love The Cats in Trouble Series by Leeann Sweeny. And Rita Mae Brown’s series with Sneaky Pie Brown (until the last one). Anything with cats in it has to be good right???? LOL!! I also love this series.
I love cozies with library themes. It will be interesting to see what happens when tempers flare!

While there are several favorite cats to choose from, in the feline group I have to say that Diesel stole my heart from the get go. I love this series.
I do love diesel but it was “The Cat Who” series that got me started on cat detective stories.
I have not read any which had a cat. Would live the paperback version. Thank you.
Koko and Yum Yum in the “Cat Who” series.
One of the early books, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern would be one of my favourites.
Like many other commenters, Koko by Lilian Jackson Braun was my first introduction to the genre. But I also love the Cats in Troubly by Leann Sweeney, and Miss Marple in the booktown series.
I Like Leann Sweeney’s cat series, and I just bought one of the Miranda James books….I hope I win.,
Paperback! This one looks adorable!
paperback version please. I like the series written by Lilian Jackson Braun
i have three cats we adopted, we feed them.
I love The Cat Who… series. Koko and YumYum were great cats. I really miss them now that their author has passed.

I perfer paperback. I’ve read most of Lillian Jackson Braun but I love finding new kitty cozies.
My favorite cat series is The Cat Who by Lilian Jackson Braun. Sometime I’ll have to read The Big Kitty, a book I got last year.
U.S. – paperback (I don’t own a computer or e-reader).
I like Chakra from Annette Blair’s Vintage Magic Mysteries series.
Mrs.Murphy in Rita Mae Brown’s series.
Kindle version.
I’ve read a few mystery’s with cats as the key player… just can’t think of one off hand, and there’s a lot of books i’d have to sort through… but I love cats, so I read a lot of books with and about them
