                                                My Hobby

My hobby is reading books. At the moment my favourite book, or rather, books are "Warriors". It is a series of novels written by four authors — Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Tui Sutherland and Victoria Holmes, who collectively use the pseudonym Erin Hunter.

The series is very big. I have already read the original six books known as "Warriors: The Prophecies Begin".

The series is about feral cats (о бездомных котах). There are several warrior cat clans which are depicted in great detail. We learn a lot about the clans' culture and history. There is a lot of fighting and some epic battles, which makes the books exciting. Generally, the themes of the books are quite deep and serious, for example, there are such themes as being an outsider, loyalty, relationships and death.

I like the plot of the books and I enjoy reading them because I love cats. I also like that the characters of the series can be a mix of good and evil.
