Con Report: Balticon 60

I’m here, once again, with a late con report! As always, I had a blast at Balticon this year. This event is a fantastic way to connect with fans, fellow nerds, other industry professionals, and old friends. Though Balticon has phenomenal online programming, I decided to only participate in in-person events this year. Since this is a “local” event for me (I worked 2 blocks away from the host ho

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. :))
