Hello everybody! I have my first follower goal! It's 50 followers, so if you're not following me, please follow, and I'll make sure to follow back. Thanks!

I hope you reach your goal! I am following but I hope you get 50 followers!

can u guys suggest some books to me, I like thriller and fantasy have a great day!

ooh sounds interesting thx!

Def 'The Land of Stories' by Chris Colfer and 'Front Desk' by Kelly Yang!

I would really suggest “So This is Love” by Elizabeth Lim. it’s my favorite book and it’s really sweet!

definitely gonna try it out thx!

I would suggest "always Emily"... But it's history, but it is a page turner.

YESS I read that before!!

@love-art I would recommend the book Holes because The book talks about a teenager, Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to Green Lake Camp for a crime he did not commit. He faces difficult situations in the camp, finds friends and enemies, and radically transforms his own character.

wow that sounds like a great story thx!

You could read Holes we read that in class and there is a movie too

The Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi! (8th grade and above) or Pretend She's Here by Luanne Rice.

yess i just got those books because of you THX!

Ooh! I have Shatter Me on my bookshelf! I haven’t read it yet, but I will after I finish the book series I’m on right now (The Inheritance Games)

Some books I enjoyed are Endling: The Last by Katherine Applegate, Promises to the Dead by Mary Downing Hahn, and the Kane Chronicles series by Rick Riordan. Happy reading!

oooh, they all sound amazing I'll definitely check them out. Thanks!
