Hi! Sorry I didn't tell you guys I left. That lasted weeks!

Hey! I don't normally do goals, but there's a first day for everything, so I have a goal of reaching 80 followers, so if you aren't already following me, I would really appreciate it! I don't have A SINGLE follower that I don't follow back, so if you also have a goal, I'll make extra sure to follow you, and I'll make a shoutout! Now for my shoutout (🤭), shoutout to @chocolate168, you're such a guy. (I'm so sorry if you're a girl, I'm making an assumption)

Thanksss ;) u assume correctly lol! Good luck on your goal, I already follow you tho hahha Also my last shoutout (given and/or received) was four whole years ago, wow how time flies

I followed and good luck on your goal!

@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.
