Hello everyone! I would like to give a shoutout to two very special and kind people…@deafgirlhistory and @doggiechristmas!!! @deafgirlhistory, you’re one of my best friends on here and I love that we joined DOGO around the same time! And @doggiechristmas, thank you for being so kind and cheerful! I really appreciate it! That’s all folks! Have a very happy weekend!

Omg tysm! Thanks so much for a shoutout! I really appreciate it! And for @doggiechristmas, she literally deserve the shoutout! 😃 Again, tysm!

Heyy! I'm back from my long slumber! What's up!? What y'all reading? I'm reading Check and Mate and the Shatter Me series currently. Would recommend Shatter Me for sure!

Omigoshh, I loveee the shatter me series!!! Soo good

YES! I just finished yesterday actually! *****SPOILER ALERT******* Love the Juliaaron!

I’m also reading a trilogy called Arc of a Scythe (almost done with the last book)!

AHhh! I’m reading Shatter Me, too! Just recently finished the first book, so I’m on Unravel Me now!!! Which book are you on?

Are you reading with the novellas or without? I'm reading with them! Some of them aren't very good (Shadow Me) but some are pretty interesting (Destroy Me) Are you rooting for Adam or Warner? I personally liked Adam in book one, but now I like Warner better!

Yea, I’m reading the novellas. I was also rooting for Adam in the first book, but he kinda became over-protective and jealous to the point of possessiveness… So I’m Warnette now lol

OK, I JUST FINISHED!!!!!!!! This is a FREAKING ⭐⭐SERIES! Are you on Ignite Me yet?

Almost T-T, I've barely had ANY time to read this week! I'm so busy with school homework and I've also had several competitions. I will try to finish Unravel Me and start Ignite Me today...

Welcome back!! I'm currently reading Mirror Mirror: A Twisted Tale. Also thanks for the recommendation!

Oh, I started reading that but I didn't have enough time to finish it! How are you liking it?

I just finished it, and I really enjoyed it! I don't know if it is one of my favorites in the series, but it was really good. Now I'm starting Straight on Till Morning!

Oh! I've seen that one! I'll have to check it out! I just got "Mirror, Mirror", so I'm excited!

Yay, you’re back!!! I just finished reading “So This Is Love” by Elizabeth Lim which is my fav book of all time! Also, I am working on a civics project in history, a research paper in English, and a STEM project in science so I am super busy but I’m really enjoying it! How about you? 🙃

Oh my gosh I just finished that book!! I loved it so much!!

Really?! Me too, it hands down my absolute favorite book! Every time I read it, I get in to a total daydreaming, just dreaming about meeting my own Prince Charles one day! 🥰

We're finally writing poems in RLA, and we're going to have a Texas history test soon, as well more Math(ugh). Do you have to do the MAP test at your school?

Oh, wow, that's a lot of tests! Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great! I don't take the MAP test but I take another standardized testing test (I forgot the name of it) but I take that in April, so I've got time thankfully!

No, it's a national test. I think it's called Pearson!

I haven’t done a shoutout in a REALLY long time, but I would like to give one to @dogman for being kind and one of our new members!

I think that these people are so nice and sweet and I want to thank them for making my life so nice and these people are @cupid-virgo and @summer-curve

Ok so I have a big shout out going to.....@dogman7 for being so kind and I am so glad to have you apart of the Dogo news community!!
