Hi! I am

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi! I am

Hi! I am new here. 

You may see me under the names AirSong, FireSong, WaterSong, or EarthSong. My age will always be 13. 

I love to read, write, dance, and sing. 

I have been in theatrical productions of The Swan Lake, and I loved it! I've also been in a ballet reproduction of The Nutcracker. Singing is my passion! I particularily like Roar by Katy Perry. Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys is also very good. 

My favorite book series are Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, and Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan. 

If any of you have heard of it, Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor. 

They're all really good reads, but I suggest not reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry until you're at least 10, and Just Mercy at 12. Warning: There are some....explicit...things in Just Mercy, it will make you cry, and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is a simpler version of Just Mercy...it might make you cry (I admit it, I did cry at the end. *sob* they're just so...sad...and so much of...reality.). 

So that's it! Hi everyone!

<3 FireSong

Hi FireSong! I'm Princess Juniper. I'm still fairly new too. Are you on NaNo? Probably not because you're new. Basically NaNo wrimo is program in which you join a classroom and you can chat about things and also write novels. The code to our classroom is YXXAXHZH.

Nice to meet you, Firesong! I'm Peppermint, but you can call me Pepper if you'd like! I also enjoy reading, writing, and dancing, but I'm not much of a singer. What types of dance do you take? I'm learning ballet and modern. Wings of Fire, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson are some of my favorite series as well, but City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab is also really good! See you around!

Hi, FireSong! I go by Tealeaf here.  My favorite book series is A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. They're really good- you should check them out! I've never learned any dancing, but I've been in a choir before. I like to play the flute. do you play any instruments? Anyway, I will link the Ultimate Guide, which should be helpful. See you around! <3

*drops into the thread*

Hey, Songie! (Gahh im sorry that's such a bad nickname) Woah, we have the same favorite books! I love Wings of Fire and Percy Jackson/HoO/TToA!! I used to be obsessed with Harry Potter.

I'm dreamiing, an introvert who has a hard time talking. Im having a sugar rush right now so its a bit easier, but I still don't make any sense. 

Anyways! I'm leaving now before this can get any awkward-er :\

Hi there!! Name's Silver Crystal aka Silver. Welcome to the CB! I can't sing to save my life but I obsess over musicals anyways XD My best friend has been in the Nutcracker a few times, so I've seen it before. It's really cool :)

Am I right that blazingburningblistering is a reference to Wings fo Fire (Blister, Blaze and Burn)? I love Wings of Fire, though I haven't read all of them (I am currently on Darkstalker). Anyway, I am a fellow Percy Jackson fanatic; I love anything and everything PJO. Also Harry Potter, naturally. And Tolkien. And... a lot more, I can't fit them all in here lol.

I read Roll of Thunder a few years back; I don't think I finished it but I loved what I read. And Just  Mercy is such a great book; the movie is super good as well. I cried so hard during the scene where the guy is being executed. I kept trying to tell myself that 'this is a movie; it's not actually real', but it was based off of true events, and this man was real and he died and it's not fair...  I'm sorry, that book is just so emotional. Bryan Stevenston is pretty cool. Fun fact: my aunt actually was going to move down to Alabama 'cause she got an invitation to work with him, but she decided she wanted to stay in Cali.

Anyway, I get off on tangents a lot so sorry this was so long XD I hope to see you around!

Hey Song, nice to meet you! I'm Majestic Mary. I love Wings of Fire, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson, too! Admittedly, I have not read Percy Jackson in a loooong time. I've heard of Just Mercy, but I've never read it. I may check out Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry sometime soon!

Anyway, welcome. I hope to see you around the CB.
