Sorry, I've never read that book. But....I looked it up in DOGObooks and it has really good reviews and the plot sounds interesting.

Hey guys! What did you get for Christmas! So far I got exactly 69 books, 20$, and an MP3 player! There were 2 free songs+FM Radio. One of the free songs was called Sleepyhead by Galen Crew, and it kinda sounds medieval Christian pop. IDK, but I loved it!

69 books!? Dude, you are so lucky! I would totally die of excitement! 😲

what kind of books... like what basic janre? (probably horribly misspelled that, it's just not a word i use a lot.)

69 books?!?!? Girl, you are so lucky!

I wish I got 69 books for Christmas! I would literally die of happiness lol

Just wondering...how did you get 69 books for Christmas??

Oh, my Grammie LOVES thrift stores, and so whenever we go there, I go straight to the book section, and pick out some. At one of he stores, called St. Vincent De Paul, you can get 10 books for a buck, so that's where I got most of them. I also got some from Goodwill, and the Hill Country Animal Center

Hi! That's... a lot of books! I got a 36 set of art markers, a phone case, a Harry Potter calendar and a portable speaker. happy holidays!

hi! so far i got some things too! i got... $350, 4 plushies, 3 books, a brand-new computer, some clothes, a nice scarf, 3 boxes of chocolate, and a cute little bag!❤

What books did you get, I may have some in my collection.

69 books?! That's my kind of Christmas!! Okay, so I got two sweat shirts that say "Blessed" and "Faith Over Fear". Then I got the BSC book "Stacey's Broken Heart". Then two button-down shirts that are super stylish. 😀

Hey techfashion0315, since my family's moving, when I was about to go for summer camp, he only let me keep 10 books. But leave me alone for a couple of months with a limited library, it won't stay. Currently in my moving library, I have 140 books.

wow, that's impressive. Yeah, moving can be challenging. I've moved 8 times already. 🙃

Cool! Real or comic? I like the real ones better.

I'm not kidding! I told you that whenever I go to my Grammie's house, I go to a thrift shop, and pick out books. It's really cool, because at most of the places, the cost of a book is under a dollar, unless we go to Goodwill, and theirs' can go up to 3$ each. At St Vincent de Paul, we can get 10 books for a buck, so that's a real deal!

Oh, my gosh! I would die from happiness! That's so cool!!!!!

Nice. I got a couple sweatshirts, an shirt, some board games, a calligraphy set and book, a prayer journal a GINORMOUS squishimallow, chocolate, converse, berets,and a dog treat kit.

in my opinion, converse are cool and i respect people who wear them, but they're uncomfortable on my own feet. board games are great!

Converses are the best! My mom got me them this summer. I absolutely love them! I hope you do too! 👟😀

Hi everyone! I recently listened to this song called “Look Like Love” by Britt Nicole. It was awesome and very convicting. I hope you all enjoy it! Please tell me any thoughts you had about it! 🤩💜

Yes, I totally agree! I guess I never realized how much we have in common! Starbuck pink drinks, Britt Nicole songs, etc. It’s like having a twin! 😂

Inspirational. It reminds me of how people don't take thought in their actions, and rush through life instead of enjoying it.

Yeah! Thanks! My ancestors were soldiers and my parents were also soldiers, too. My dad is retired Major and my mom is former Private officer now she is nurse.

That's so cool, how you are so involved with your culture!

Oh, my gosh! I think your YouTube channel will be a great success! 😁 Wanting to be a soldier is very admirable. Are you thinking of a specific branch of the military? Thanks for replying!! 😉

Ya I agree! I'm thinking about maybe enlist Air Force or Army...idk just yet...

Cool! My dad used to advise the military and he personally suggests the Air Force, but the choice is yours! I think it's super brave to go into the military.

Well, Air Force lets me fly and be in the heights, (i love heights!) and Army have bunch of challenges! Well ya, I also think that is super brave of me will enlist in military as a deaf person and again, needless to say, I`m always up for new challenges and love to try new things! Sometimes to my family, I am the "Dare-devil" because of those that I just said, haha!

That's really neat! What ever you decide, I don't think you'll ever regret going into the military. So many benefits and stuff. You are definitely braver than I! Now thinking about, I have really bad vision so I don't think I can even join the military. But anyways, good luck on your military endeavors! 😁❤❤

Thanks! Well, I do have one bad vision just in my eye but I can see just fine. Choices between Air Force and U.S. Army are very hard decisions to make!

1)A veterinarian clinic i would call it Emmas which is the name of my sisters dog 2)My dream job is a vet 3) Dogs, Wolves, and pandas 4) Horchata..it's like a mexican rice water drink. 5) 50°- 88°

Emma is such a cute name for a dog! 🐶 I think being a vet would be fun….seeing a bunch of new dogs and cats would be quite an adventure! Thanks for replying! 😁

Horses are the best! They’re so gentle and kind! There one of my favorite animals too. 🐎😃

Merry Christmas!!!! I'm currently reading one of the books I got from my Grammie, City Spies, and it's awesome!
