I've got a few questions: 1. Grade? 2. Fav animal? 3. Cats or Dogs? 4. Do you miss the holiday season? 5. Here's a riddle: There were 2 children, the son and the daughter. The daughter was born on January 20th and the son was born on March 12th. Both of them were born in the morning. Which one did their parents see first?

Guys!!! I'm top 100 on the leaderboard! I know I'm not as high as most of my friends though... I got really sad when I saw that all my friends (for example @beachbreeze15, @bsc, @inmemoryofcpr, callie_b, and a bunch of others that I will congratulate but not mention). Anyway, I got top 100! Yay.

Oh CONGRATS!!!! I am positive that you will be in the top 10 soon enough!! :-D

I do face-to-face, all we have to do is wear masks.

I definitely recommend the French Girl in New York. And the rest of the series! Since is not well-known, I felt like I found a hidden gem when I read this! The first one is free on amazon. I'm finished with this series, so any recommendations? +I've liked books like Hunger Games, Red Queen, The 39 clues, and KOTLC.

Cool! I'll check it out!
