About this listen
The O’Malleys have fostered dozens of cats in their bookshop over the past several years, but a new arrival named Regular is unlike any of their previous feline guests.
This is Regular’s tale, but it is also Mack and Mavis O’Malley’s. It is about two “finds of a lifetime”: Kris, their young apprentice, opens a box to reveal a book that may be so valuable that it could make national headlines, and the O’Malleys discover something even more wonderful that will change their lives forever.
This novel continues the adventures of the O’Malleys and the customers, neighbors, friends, and cats of their used and rare bookshop. Their funny and touching story, and Kris’, began in the first book of the Turning Pages series: Shelve Under C: A Tale of Used Books and Cats.

Story
A novel for everyone, Shelve Under C is a big, leaning stack of humor, heart, stray cat hairs, old book dust, mystery, family drama, longing, and hope. Used bookshops often have a cat or two roaming the aisles, sleeping on the shelves, or sleeping on the customers. Here is a novel all about one bookshop and its resident cats, Stomper and Buglit; and about Kris, a 12-year-old boy who apprentices in the shop. Kris is a little bit like the cats: he's a foster child getting used to a new family, and the cats are being fostered in the bookshop for the local shelter.

Story
My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

a good book
Only bad thing I could say is every one sound like they are older (40-50's) but one character is in there mid-twenties and honestly would have never guessed. But other than that it's pretty good. And maybe a bit of over-sharing
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
