@chocolate168, hey!! Which Harry Potter book is your favorite in the series?

@doggiechristmas, HIYA! Kinda typical answer, but it for sure has to be Prisoner of Azkaban 😌 thx for asking, how about you?

I've watched all the movies (before I could read, I normally read the books first, don't worry), but I haven't read all the books (on book number five!!), so for now, I would agree with you, I really liked The Prisoner of Azkaban. No problem!

Hey guys!! Book series recommendations for fellow fantasy readers!! If you haven't read the Merlin Series and the Song of the Lioness Series (Aka, the Alanna of Trebond Series), I definitely recommend reading them. Also, I know I don't do a ton of book reviews, but I promise, I do read a lot.

@beachbreeze16 (old user) also used to recommend the Merlin Series a lot too. I never got around to reading it lol 😅 but it's definitely on my TBR

I am currently reading the series, but I would sooo recommend it, when my mom was a kid, she said she and her siblings would fight over who would get to read them, and I see why. I hate the teen books that make me feel like I'm three (always avoiding them!) and these don't. Glad it's on your TBR! I'm at the very end of the second book, I kind of got busy with sports and music, but I'm loving them.

I promise I believe you. Also, I've actually never heard of those books before. I'll definitely have to look into them!

Haha, thanks. They're really good, especially if you like fantasy. One of the reveiws on the cover is (I'm dead serious), "Harry Potter readers set aside them and pick up Merlin," or something along those lines.

I remember sometime in 2024, I had shared a 'quote' I made and everyone said they'd like to hear more of mine, so here! "Galaxies are endless, why not possibilities?"

Love your quote and creativity!! I'm definitely here for them!

Thank you! I usually make them when I'm doing an art project, upset, or going through a hard time. They help remind me that life will be okay. Honestly, when people are kids, tweens, and teens, I feel like our emotions are -in a way- a lot stronger than adults, because it's so new to us, feeling that large rush of emotions.

Quiz time! 1.what is you favorite sweet? 2.what character do you like most?3.what is your favorite book? My answers:1.icecream2.cinamoroll3.Harry Potter and the deathly hallows

Hi! 1. Probably brownies! 2. Cinderella 3. "So This Is Love" by Elizabeth Lim

1. To keep it short, a lot. Buuut I'm not going to keep it short so here's an incomplete list: Brownies (the fudgy chocolatey goodness is to die for), choc chip cookies (a classic and hard to beat), cheesecake, ice cream mochi (life changing), and more (obviously). 2. Mh, I like Marinette from Miraculous, Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, and Tris (and Four!!) from Divergent 3. I really like: Divergent, The Hunger Games, and Six Crimson Cranes Thanks so much for the quiz, I really enjoyed!!

Hi! Welcome to the book club! To get to know you, here are some questions. What is your favourite colour? Fav food? What about fav song? My answers are Ice Blue, Ramen, and Tipsy

1. Black and Gold, 2. I have to agree with doggiechristmas on this one. But I also love Pizza. 3. Uhh Maybe God is good, Forrest Frank. But I also love TobyMac.

I’m not new but I can’t resist a quiz!! 1. Pink 💕 2. Honestly idk 3. I have so many at the moment but I’m sort of addicted to Tobymac’s new song “Can’t Stop Me” and Dan + Shay’s “Speechless” 😭❤️

My favourite color is dusty blue, I don't have a FAVOURITE food, but I really like cheeseburgers, my favourite song right now, is Country Roads (Take me Home).

My fav color: turquoise, fav food: curry rice, fav song: The Final Countdown by Europe(My older sis and I love rock! )

Mine used to be turquoise (fun fact: my birthstone), but then it switched to dusty blue.

Hi boba books! I am new too! My answers are 1. Lavender 2.hmmm... I think I would say pasta, salmon, and broccoli,but I also love sushi. Last I would say sullen girl by Fiona apple.
