Hey yall! I have a book recommendation and it's titled "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's a powerful and absolutely amazing book!! It's about a girl, who learns to speak up. I know my description is vague but trust me it's a great read! Also, Anderson is an awesome author, who also wrote "Fever 1793", which I definitely recommend! Happy reading!

Thanks for those book recommendations! I would definitely check 'em out!

Awesome, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendations!

Thank you so much for the recommendation, I’ll definitely check it out!

Thanks for the recommendation! I will definitely read it!

Hi Everyone! Don't know if anyone remembers me, but its been a long time! Missed everyone so much. Going into middle school took such a big adjustment and much of my time....Thanks to everyone for the 85 followers I have! Help me achieve my goal to get to 100 before my b-day in august!

Welcome back! I’m already following you, but good luck on getting to 100! Middle school can get tough sometimes, so I perfectly understand ;). My birthday is also in August, by the way 😜

I'm going into middle school too!!! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!

I already followed you, but I hope you reach your goal!

Iceyqueen, welcome back! I remember you, and I miss you very much! I understand your adjustments and the time you've lost. I'm looking forward to seeing your new posts soon!

I remember you, welcome back! Good luck with your goal!

Hey! does anyone know how to change their nickname on here? I would like to, but I can't figure out how. Thanks!

I totally forgot to send my answer, sorry.😅 But here it is: Go to the top right-hand corner, tap on your profile picture, tap settings. There you can go and change your username. Hope this helps!

On the top right hand corner of your screen, you can tap “Account Settings, which should bring you to a screen where it gives you the option to change your username, password, email, etc. There should be a box titled “Username:” and you can just delete your current username and type in what you want to change it to. Press “Update Account” and you’re done! Happy to help! ;)

@book_addict, I've been forgetting to tell you, but I really like your username - A fellow always-and-forever bookworm. 🤣🤣

Aww, thank you! I spent a LOT of time coming up with it 😆. Bookworms for life! 💕

I know how to change your username. First, you click on your avatar on the top right corner. Then you will see some options and click on the option with account settings. When you get there, you will see your username. You can change it there. Be sure to click on the green button with update account. I hope you change your nickname!

Okay so just go to settings and there will be a section where you can change your username! 😃

Thanks everyone! I got it to work.

Hiiii there everyone!!! I just got back from my 1 week long summer camp and I met many amazing people at camp and this year is my seventh (7th) year at camp! What's up?!?!

Wow, seventh year!! That’s awesome! I got to a camp in Florida for a week in July! Pretty nervous but excited too!
