She fell asleep between my knees!!

Aww your kitty is so cute. I’m going to BEA this year, too, and I’m excited but also really nervous.
YOUR CAT IS ADORABLE. And I’m not really as huge pet person, so that’s quite the compliment from me 😉
How did you like Mara Dyer? I’m so obsessed with that series! It sucks they keep delaying the release of book three for no bloody reason
(Thanks for mentioning Little Birdie btw 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the discussion!)
THANK YOU! 🙂 Haha wow high praise! She is pretty cute. I think she could probably turn anybody into a cat lover 😉
I thought TUoMD was okay and actually almost just stopped reading the series…but then I read and REALLY liked TEoMD and now I’m so so so excited for the third book! As of right now, it should be coming out in November, right? I didn’t realize they were postponing it. I hate when that happens 😦
I’m happy you’re feeling less stressed because being stressed is never fun. Sucks that you’re sick though, hope you get better soon! And aww, your kitten is ADORABLE. It makes me feel even sadder that I can’t have one (my mum has allergies!)
Oooh and thanks for the links! I always love seeing these compilations. Great way to find new bloggers! xx
Awwww she’s so cute!!! She has that little eye squish thing going on ❤
Okay – final thoughts on Crash Into You???
AMAAAAAAAAAZING.
Goodreads review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/932012707?book_show_action=false
AHHHH I love every part of that review! I thought you’d be able to connect with Rachel a bit more than Beth. She was the easiest for me to relate to as well 😀
ABBY AND ETHAN. NOW. We should write the book and just get it over with 😀
I’m SO excited for Abby and Ethan. It needs to happen RIGHT NOW. I bet you that’s the next book, though. I would be shocked if it wasn’t. It’s just the waiting that’s killing me!!!
Your cat is so cute! Too bad I can’t have cats because my dad has asthma. Sadly, I am not going to BEA but I’m really excited for everyone who is going. 🙂 I shall go someday!
ADORABLE KITTY! 😀
I’m so jealous of everyone who is just about to go off to BEA. I wish I could afford to fly out to NY – transatlantic flights are so expensive 😮
