Everyone is obsessed with what show to watch next on Netflix or Hulu. Well, when you can't seem to find a movie that you're really feeling, or when you've binged all the shows you can binge, why not try reading a book? Here is a list of amazing book series and stand alones that will be a refreshing change to your entertainment.

1. "The Magicians" Series by Lev Grossman

"The Magicians" is like a mix of "Harry Potter" and "Narnia." It has magic, adventure, excitement, and a lot of drama, and if you liked "Harry Potter" or "Narnia" then you'll obviously love this trilogy.

2. The "A Song of Ice and Fire" Series by George R.R. Martin

Everyone has heard of the show, but fewer people have read the books. Take the dive and immerse yourself into the world of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series in book form.

3. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany

"Harry Potter" is extremely popular in its book and movie forms, and as some may know another installment of the story has just been released. The book is actually a script of a play now being performed in England.

4. "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer

The "Twilight" author Stephanie Meyer also wrote this fascinating sci-fi/fantasy novel called "The Host." It also has a movie version, but to really feel connected to the characters and fall in love with the story the book is the way to go.

5. "The Fallen" Series by Thomas E. Sniegoski

This series is about the children of fallen angels and their mission to protect the Earth while being hunted down themselves. It's a great combination of fantasy and a little religion.

6. The "Witch and Wizard" Series by James Patterson

If you've read the "Maximum Ride" series then you'll love this series from the same author about a brother and sister in a dystopian America who find out they're actually a witch and a wizard.

7. "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes

If the recent movie version of this novel brought you to tears then go ahead and cause yourself some more emotional pain by reading the book and its sequel.

8. "Life and Death" by Stephanie Meyer

"Life and Death" is a gender-swapped version of "Twilight." If you already love "Twilight" then you'll love reading this version that Stephanie Meyer wrote for the anniversary of the first book's release.

9. "The Secret Circle" Series by L.J. Smith

From the same author that wrote "The Vampire Diaries" comes "The Secret Circle," a series about a group of teen witches and all the trouble they get into.

10. The "His Dark Materials" Series by Philip Pullman

This fantasy series is about an alternate dimension where people's souls walk beside them in the form of animals called daemons. It follows a young girl named Lyra and her daemon named Pan and their many adventures including the search for Lyra's true origins.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
