@coldrain Hi. I'd like to enter 😊 Slot 13 please, it's my lucky number 😊

My favourite memory..... That's really hard. I've had lots of good memories on my past, and bad ones too. I'd probably say... Last Christmas. I loved that day I spent with my family. There was no stress, no panic unlike the Christmases before (All Christmases before 2016 stressed me out). I think it's because my father wasn't there, his moods weren't affecting everyone. The Christmas the year before had been nice but, there was a letter in the house on Christmas Day, telling us we had to go to court.

I love every memory I've made with my family, it was hard to pick. But 2016's Christmas.. It just showed hope.

@coldrain can i have slot ten please
My favourite memory is the first time i ever rode my bike without stabilisers. yes i fell but i was so proud of myself when i got up again and i felt like i was flying when i succeeded. it was a long time ago but never had i felt so alive. When my younger brother was born i taught him how to ride his bike.
I love those random memories that i can look back on no matter how hard my life may be now. Like i say " Cherish those small moments today and they'll fill you heart FOREVER"

One of my favorite memories is when I went to my first water park. My family was visiting my aunt and uncle and the next day we went to the water park. I can still remember the excitement when my sister and I went on a really scary one.

I would like number 19.

@coldrain

Okie, thank you! 😸

Favorite Book: My favorite book is "Where I Belong" because, not only does it have a beautiful ending, it has great setting. The forest. It's about a boy, hating school and, I guess, his foster mother. But in my opinion, it's about how the beauty of nature flows between everyone. Especially forest lovers. 😊

Favorite Film: Argh, this is hard! 😃

I'll have to go with "Beyond the Boundary", [doe animes count?] because it's about magic and epic fights. The animations are smooth and comfortable to watch. The main character's[a boy]senpai is so amazing and just...extremely... terrific!

@coldrain Thanks so much! There is spoilers below, I'm afraid XD.

I have read lots of good books recently but by favourite so far has to be Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I think the characters easy to relate to and I feel that I can understand why they feel the way they feel. I really like how rebellious the trio are and how they won't let Umbridge continue making all the rules. Even though there's a load of new characters, I got used to them very quickly. I also liked the way it was written very much.

I've been a Harry Potter fan for a while but this book is definitely my favourite out of the series.

Wings of Fire is my favorite book series. I love dragons so much, and I adore every dragon's different personality. It has a great plot with so many unexpected things, yet the foreshadowing already hints who it might be, giving it good suspense.

It was one of the first book series I've ever read other than Warriors, and I just love it so much and it sparked the magic inside of me (aka addicted to something once again XD)

Gahh I made it? Thank you so much for choosing my memory! ;u; ❤️


My favorite book is The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B.White. This book is not only great to read, but will always have a special place in my heart.
When I was in second grade, my teacher gave me a book for Christmas. I had always loved animals, and my teacher knew it. I was having a hard time fitting in, because I had moved just recently. So a story about a swan that doesn't have a voice was so relatable in many ways! And oh how I loved that book! I just loved how each action was so well described. This book was what encouraged me to stand strong. I didn't have a voice to call for help, just like Louis, and was struggling to fit in. But the story ends in a happy ending, with him being able to play the trumpet! So this book gave me courage and helped me through second grade.



I hope that choosing just a book was okay! I don't know many good films to choose from. ^^;;

my favourite movie would have to be something very old.
Movie Name:The Butterfly Lovers (animation movie)
When i was younger, we went to the library and borrowed that dvd. When i watched it, it taught me the sadness and sorrows as well as the happy memories. Their fates were entwined and gave a powerful love. The story is about a girl wanting to be a boy, so she disguises herself as a boy and goes to a boys school. There, she meets a friend and as they hang out, they soon fall in love. But she was already set to marry another person. So when that boy finds out, they push the wedding forward. When the boy from school found out, he died of shock and the girl wears her wedding dress over to see his grave. But his spirit comes out and the butterflies surround them as he takes her away, far away...

Hope this is okay ❤️ It is an old movie (with new versions). I watched the animation one...

@coldrain yay! ❤️
well my favorite book (i'm a bookworm) happens to be the 9th book in Rangers Apprentice, "Halt's Peril". Now for those of who don't know the series *secret wail* you would't know about cold-looking halt who is actually so soft inside or curious and adventurous Will (where there's a Will there's a way...) or humble and funny Horace and i could on forever... anyways, top reason why this book is my favorite, this book is literally the first in the series to explore the bond between Will and Halt as father/son even though Will is an orphan... It's just so sweet and Will is so caring and Horace is trying to do his best and Halt is dying and there's no hope and there's tears... well it's just so... OH THE FEELS......
there is another reason, Halt dying and Will and Horace's reaction kinda helped when my dad's dad passed away.... ;(
somewhere in the book it says something about 'never loosing hope just because someone is dead' because they'll always be in your heart! just really sweet and... yeah...

@coldrain ❤️
I've read way too many books, so I'll just go with my favourite book that I read this year if that's okay.

My favourite book of the year would probably be Scythe by Neil Shusterman. It's setting is the classic futuristic utopian world that has no disease and rapid healing systems resulting in a world with no death. Thus, a new job is created, the title of a Scythe. Someone who can purposefully end the life of a human being. The story is centered around its two main characters, teenagers Rowan and Citra who are chosen to become a Scythe's apprentices.

Now in this book, there were two main parts that I remember very clearly. The first being a journal entry written from a Scythe's point of view describing "death". However, this death is not actual killing, but people throwing themselves of buildings and jumping in front of cars as a way of entertainment. She compares this to the Looney Tunes cartoon, "Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner." She writes down that in the cartoon the Coyote dies and always comes back. He's blown up and thrown off cliffs and how it became something comedic. How in their world, death has become something not taken seriously and something for people to laugh at.

The second part would be the differing views between Scythe Goddard and Scythe Faraday. Scythe Goddard is the main antagonist and Scythe Faraday is Citra and Rowan's first teacher. Now, Scythe Faraday believes that in order to be chosen as a Scythe, you MUST hate the job. He says that if you actually ENJOY the killing, you will just be a KILLING machine. On the other hand, Scythe Goddard does mass killings and believes that the citizens should look up to Scythes as Gods. He says to Rowan that if you do not fully immerse yourself and enjoy the killing, you would just be a killing MACHINE. Both of these statements are technically correct but very different and I thought that the contrast between the two quotes were different yet had similar aspects.

This book shows different perspectives of characters as they grow from learning from different people and how a world with no death is not necessarily utopia. I really like this book because of its perspective on death and in my opinion, this book is unique compared to other dystopian novels I have read before.

I am so sorry for writing such a long review. 😋 I love this book.

@coldrain Oh wow thanks!

My favorite series (does that count? 😋) would have to be the Throne of Glass series. I discovered it a couple of months ago after a friend wouldn't stop raving about it...let's just say now I see why 😋
The plot is hard to describe without massive spoilers because it has come so far from the first book, but it basically outlines the story of an assassin trying to survive in a world out to get her and the relationships she develops along the way. It's full of mystery and intrigue and insane plot twists, so it would be an amazing read no matter what, but it also has some of the most beautifully-crafted characters I've ever seen. They're complex, contradictory—they deal with love and loss and friendship and, best of all, recovery—and you honestly can't help but love (/fangirl over) every one of them ❤️
And despite the fact that it's set in a fantasy world that's fairly different from ours, the genius writer manages to weave in themes about gender roles, racism, and mental illness, all beautifully and respectfully portrayed.
Oh, and the writing! It's just so gorgeously written!!!
In short, as an aspiring author, this book is my ultimate inspiration.
