My favorite food is tacos. Some things I love are: Music, Books Anime, and video games. Welcome to all new members! I hope you guys love this club!

I'm pretty sure there are alot of people who like anime. And im one of them

Hey y’all! Just wanted to let you know that I changed my username from sunshinerainbow to sunrisesunset!

I don't mean to be rude, but it kind of reminds me of Bill Nye

I don’t know if that’s a compliment or an insult, so I’ll take it as a compliment!

Oh wow! Thanks for an update! Thanks for letting us know!

Hello lovely people! Here’s an inspiring quote: “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” -Dolly Parton

Oh, my gosh! That's really good. Thanks for this! 💜😊

Hello! Sorry I haven't been very active the past month, school and sports have been very overwhelming! Welcome all new members, you're gonna love it here! As of right now, I'm in cross country, volleyball, and I plan to try out for tennis this month so I'm pretty busy haha 😅😅 !! Anyways, I'm back with another animal trivia! Let's get started! 1) Which animal is known to have the most powerful bite in the world? 2) Which species of jellyfish are known to have the longest tentacles? 3) Which sea creature is known to be the only natural predator of the Great White Shark? 4) What is the only continent in the world known to be snake-free? 5) The nose of a lion changes color throughout its life, indicating what? Now for some cool facts about animals! Did you know that owls don't have eyeballs? They have eye tubes! Did you also know that reindeer eyeballs turn blue in winter to help them see at lower light levels? (they're golden-colored in summer.) No other mammals are known to do that!

Yay! It's nice to have you back! That's DOES sound like a busy life. I'm sure you'll do great with everything!

Ahh I ran out of space up there haha 😂😂! Anyways, I thought that was pretty cool! I'll try to be more active again like I used to, until then, I hope everyone has a good day and night, and if you enjoyed, consider following me for more content! Thank you all! 🙏🙏

I need book recommendations, I enjoy murder mysteries, realistic fiction, and pretty much everything. If it helps, I am in 7th grade. I need more things to read!

i have some more. By the Book by Amanda Sellet. Dear Evan Hansen the matched trillogy the tryllee trilogy whan you get the chance by emma lorde and the holiday switch by tif marcelo. enjoy

The Winner-David Baldacci Skyward Trilogy-Brandon Sanderson From the Desk of Zoe Washington

I will try the trilogy, because I already read the Zoe Washinton book, it was really good.

I'm in 6th grade, but I read above my level. Maybe you'll like The Underneath. It is about an abandoned cat finding her way in the world, and it is really good. You could also try KotLC (Keeper of the Lost Cities), or The One and Only Ivan, Three Times Lucky, or anything by Alan Gratz. Also if you haven't already, read the Ickabog, it is REALLY good. I hope you like these. PS Is Pax good? I'm getting it for Christmas, and I want to know if it's really worth the wait. (I saw you read Pax)

Pax is amazing, the second one is just as good!!! I will try everything else. (I did already read the one and only Ivan and bob and crenshaw. Also read Three times lucky) But Thanks so much!!!

I really like Emily Windsnap books, they are about a mermaid but it is full of mysteries!

I have read the entire series but Thank you!

I will read that! Everyone has told me to though.

i love harry potter. im almost done with the third one

Loved the hunger games! just one question. Gale or peeta?

Have you tried The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings?

The Divergent Trilogy is a great series. I read them all in 7th grade and enjoyed them a ton. It is kind of dark, but definitely worth a try.

I am going to finish the last one later today! But TY

A book would be a good girls guide to murder or one of us is lying

They are really good I promise. It is a little mature though. Definetly YA

hmm...If you also like historical fiction too...such like a books "A Place to Hang the Moon" or "The War That Saved my Life" and the sequel "The War that I Finally Won" and Helen Keller book "A Story of My Life" I don`t know if you already read any one of those book recommendations I gave you...but they are so good! - @deafgirlhistory

Oh, do you like historical fiction? Try Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch!!

I will definitely try the moon and the Hellen keller story. Always loved her determination to learn! The war that saved my life books are amazing, I read them 2 years ago

I also love murder mysteries! I would recommend Immoral by Brian Freeman (it’s meant for VERY mature audiences, though, so you might want to wait a few years before reading it). I would also recommend the Shelby Lake series by Brian Freeman.

Hi, friend! Here's a couple of my absolute favs: 1. the BSC series (I suggest the old ones, not the graphic novels or adaptions) 2. Wonder 3. Blended 4. Out of My Mind 5. Out of My Heart (the sequel to Out of My Mind) 6. The Whatever After series 7. My Life in a Fish Tank...... I hope this helps! P.S. I'm in 7th grade too!

BSC is better than the graphic novels. I kept telling my friends that, but they wouldn't listen!!

For the BSC series my mom also said to read the old ones so she must be right! I read all the other ones alreday but ty. (AND Hello fellow 7th grader!)

Same! My mom and my sister both read the series when they were my age. And yes! 7th graders HAVE to stick together! 😂😅

Hey pax! Lately I haven't really had much time to read anything the past few weeks because of school, but one book I checked out from the library was 'Genuine Fraud' by E. Lockhart! I personally enjoyed it, and though it may seem a little confusing at first, it will make a lot more sense the more you read! From your choice of genres, you're probably a good reader, so hopefully you will enjoy this! I'll let you know if I think of anything else! -adroit

OO!! Sounds inteeresting! Cannot wait to try!

Any Goosebumps book, Hatchet for realistic fiction, there's another realistic book called Maniac Magee, and well that's all.

I have read maniac magee and Hatchet before, but I will read more goosebumps!
