You should seriously read that series, I think you'd really enjoy it. Start with "Kitty and the Midnight Hour." P.S. It's not cats, it's werewolves. ;)

The books you read are crazy! The names always seem like the book is so intense! And whenever I see the word 'Kitty' I always think, must be Hanna! Her and her obsession with cats! HAHAHAH xDDD

BTW, your default picture cracks me up. That's literally my life too. I'm always doing the most LAZY things ever. Normally, I have a book in hand, some tv show/movie is playing, and I'm playing with my animals, mostly my cat. LOL. :))
