hey guys! Good news, i am working on book quiz number two!!!!!!!!! (yes i have only done two with this one '-')

Nice, im working on book quiz 12 lolol, it seems easy but it is pretty hard good luck :D

I know!!! some are super difficult! I always am like did I do enough on this part of the book? or not!

That looks like a good book!

Hmmm haven't heard of that one!

Hi all! Thank you so much for voting on which book! Ill be writing my distant sister! (sorry to the people who wanted A way home) I'm super excited and am trying to decide the characters! P.S I will be dressing up orange and red, due to the California fire :( Whoevers with me, please dress up orange and red 2 thx

That is really cool. I have friends that are very close to the fire, have been evacuated, and even lost their homes.

That is such a nice thought!!!!

Great 👍 I will be looking for your book in my bookstore!

Yay! I can't wait to read it! Make sure to put it on DOGO! --BKS

This book is interesting (the shark book is) and I loved it. I did not even know anything (before I read the book) but I learned lots from the book. I learned that sharks can bite through hard lobster shell just to eat it. I love national geographic kids books my favorite.

Hallo everyone! I've been trying to beatbox and it sounds muffled. It seems all I can do is spit! XD does anyone have any tips or starters? --BKS

for start, try something like this: "better botter" i have not done anything like that before so i do not really know

Woah it sounds cool! I have tried to do boots and cuts and suck the sound between my teeth, but that's all. You almost doubled my list of "Noises I Make Beatboxing!" I also found I got considerably better after mastering the second chorus of Imagine Dragon's "Believer".

Ooh, nice! Love Believer! Did you know the lead singer of Imagine Dragons is Mormon?

Yeah! I was confused about that and then I was like well that shows you can BELIEVE and be whatever you want to be!

Wish I could help but I'm no good at beatboxing.

That's okay I'm not either, but I'm getting better! --BKS

Questions of the week: 1. Do you have any food allergies? 2. Who is your favorite author? 3. Would you rather be Harry potter or hermoine? 4. Have you ever been out of the U.S or been to? 5. Fro-yo or Icecream? My answers: 1. No, but I'm allergic to soap 2. Dana simpson! (author of phoebe and her unicorn books) 3. Hermione 4. Yes! I have been to Germany and France! 5. I might be crazy but.. #FROYOFORLIFE

1. No, but I used to be allergic to apples and I have always been allergic to grass and most lotions. 2. Probably Mark Twain. 3. Hermione. She's so much smarter than Harry! He's about as observant as a brick wall. 4. No, I have never left the country and I've only been to six states, but it's my dream to be a travel photographer. I love to learn about other cultures and traditions, and I'd love to be able to capture that through photography and share it with the world. 5. Definitely, ice cream! Love that cookies 'n' cream!

1: If I get too much MSG I get sick. What's in the soap that you are allergic to? 2: Richard Paul Evans, he wrote Michael Vey. And oh! I've read the Phoebe and her Unicorn books! 3: Hermione, she's the nerd of the bunch and believes in equal rights for house elves :) 4: No, I can't say that I have! The farthest place I have been is Texas. 5: Ice cream, but I would take frozen custard from Culver's any day! --BKS

what!?!?! your by a Culver's???? I live by three!!!!! that is so cool!!!!

Mmm, mmm! YES!!! I only had Culver's once, but I felt like I had died and gone to heaven! Too bad it's not in California!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE <3 Culver's! It's my favorite frozen custard place, along with Freddy's.

Its usually any soap with foam or if its not a bar of it

Ohhhh, that makes sense! When I was 3-9 I was allergic to bars of soap. They gave me a rash.

1) no🥐🍕🌮🥞 2) IDK, I love to read, but I could never choose!📖📖 3) hermione 4)yes, many, many times.🗺 5)ice cream🍦🍦

That's a lot of stuff to be allergic to is what I thought. Then I got to the taco. NO TACOS?!?!?!??! What is your favorite food instead?!??! --BKS

No, I don’t have any allergies😊 I just put in a bunch of food emojis... sorry for the confusion!

Oh good! Because that would be horrible to be allergic to that much good food!
