    I don’t really like school all that much, but learning new things can be fun. I love the Kinzville Academy! I do it every day!

    I’m pretty sure that this episode of Podkinz isn’t available on iTunes yet, because first I searched it up on iTunes (on my phone) and brought up the page with all the episodes that you can download, and episode 18 wasn’t on yet. Then, I clicked the iTunes link above in this article, and episode 18 wasn’t there. I’m half hoping, half expecting it to come out soon! :)

    I am probably most looking forward to my new grade and NEW BOOKS!!! I love reading books, especially Action and Adventure, and Mystery and Chaste Romance, and W TALES!! I love reading books!!!

    • AllStarAthlete says:

      I love books too! Sounds like your school has you read interesting books :) Mine are always boring! Lol *Messi*

      • playnowpuppy says:

        I love books I read all the time!

      • prprprprp says:

        AllStarAthlete, I’m homeschooled! I read any book I want, besides the ones my parents give me to read FOR school. Don’t you ever read your own books, beside the school ones? But then, I am the fastest reader in my family, so maybe it would be easier for me! LOL! I finished a Nancy Drew book in 45 min. an American Girl book in 30 min. and Jules Verne books in about 2 hours, besides Imagination Station books, which I finish in about 20 minutes! But anyway, lots of other people are fast readers too, are you? And if so, you should try to read some of your own, interesting books more often! :) I recommend Nancy Drew books by Carolyn Keen (i think, unsure of the author) American Girl books, books by Jules Verne, Black Beauty, and, the Chronicles of Narnia. Happy reading! :D

        • playnowpuppy says:

          Woah prprprprp I’m homeshcooled too! So cool ;) I read a ton of books that u do actually all of those books u suggested I love Nancy Drew! I’m a pretty fast reader too altho I tend to take my time with books :) Also I loved the Chronicles of Narnia! Also some suggestions to read are “Horse Diaries” kinda like Black Beauty basiclly it tells a time in History and there is a horse that tells a story of what it was like and they have like a ton of books in that series! Also “The Boxcar Children” is a good series u would have to read the first 2 book in the series to understand the rest of series :) but anyway it’s about these children who solve mysterys! Also have you read the Romona and Beezus series? It’s just a fun series that is just really funny :) Plus not to mention the classics such as Annie of Green Gables, The secret Garden, ect. ect. I love classics and I mean the full ones when I was 7 years old I read Alice In wonderland the origanall story not made easy! just fun books to read prprprprp :) :) :)

          I love reading too! I read some american girl books, what is your favorite? I like the Kit Series and I also love McKenna. I have also read Harry Potter (all 7), Percy Jackson (both series), and The Familiars. The Familiars is really good, and the authors wrote another series, Starbounder. These are all really good books, and I love all of them. BTW, when did #OneWebkinzWorld end? I was wondering what it was about, and what you have to do. Thanks! -wofiedo2

    Hi Podkinz. I am excited for my next school year. Other than boring classes and Health. I’m also excited to see my friends. I saw some of them from time to time at the pool. I’m going into 7th grade, which means no more Reading Counts (which I don’t like to do.) I’m also excited for the Super School Giveaway. I have school most of the Giveaway days but I will give myself time everyday. Do you know what prizes from the school theme are retiring? If so, please tell me. Hope you have a great day! ;)
