Hey guys! Do you have any books I can read that will probably be in my middle school library? To give you an idea of what we have, we have lots of Rick Riordan, the KOTLC series, the School for Good and Evil, Out of my Mind, Out of my Heart, and the Matched trilogy, which I'm almost done with. I'm going to read Fish in a Tree next, but after that, I really don't know.

Absolutely read anything by Rick Riordan! He's my favorite author and has written amazing books! I read the first book of Matched, and honestly didn't care for it as much. I know that it many people love it though, so if you are into romance and dystopia stuff, then you would probably like it.

I just finished the trilogy, and decided to read The Fault in Our Stars, and dang it was good!

Uh, to match the Sharon M. Draper books, I would definitely suggest Blended but I think you’ve already read that, right? Does it have any Katherine Applegate books? If so, Crenshaw is super funny and heartwarming. I hope this helps!

I really want to read Blended, but it's never there! I just read Crenshaw, and it was so sweet!

I loveeeee sharon m draper and blended! I recommend A good kind of trouble.
techfashion0315 techfashion0315

Oh, yes! When I was sick recently, I read A Good Kind of Trouble! It was super good!

This week's quote: "Comparision is the thief of joy." This might be one of my favorite quotes, I absolutely love it! I hope you all like it too! 😉💛

Honestly, that is so true. If you compare yourself to other people, you're losing the ability to see anything good about YOURSELF. You matter.
techfashion0315 techfashion0315

Couldn't agree more! It's so easy to look down on yourself when you compare yourself to others.

Hey guys! Just finished FOUR runs of my play. Wheeeewww! I'm exhausted and my voice is gone, but the show went GREAT!! We got so much applause and love, and I had a lot of fun! I would recommend trying out theater, its fun and full of nice, non-judgmental people!
philliesphan287 philliesphan287

Wow! That's amazing! I've always been too scared to try for theater, since I am super shy. I have always been scared of being up on stage because I am super self conscious of my singing and acting.
