3 Book Series That Will Change Your Mind About Reading

If you have trouble with reading and want to find something that might click, check out some of these series.

"Percy Jackson and the Olympians"

The series starts with "The Lighting Thief" with the main character as none other than Percy Jackson. Percy is a son of Poseidon, one of the Greek gods. During each book, Percy heads on a quest to save the world from anything and everything you can imagine with his friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood. The author Rick Riordan allows each book to grow with the reader. The age range starts at 10 and as the books progress so does the reading level. He also has a second series with Percy that reaches a higher age, mostly in the teens.

"Divergent" Series


The series starts with "Divergent," with the main character being Tris Prior. It follows Tris as she makes her journey of changing factions. The author Veronica Roth shows the main character as a strong girl who is ready to change the way her world sees things. She fights in the rebellion and eventually changes life as she knew it, all with the help of a boy named Four. The series is very motivational, especially considering the time period of change that we are in now.

" Harry Potter"


I know this is a given, but everyone needs to read this. This series is what got me into reading in the first place. Without the feeling of finding out what you are meant for, within the pages of this book, I may not want to have chosen the career path that I did. Harry and his friends are characters that are timeless and show the value of happiness. The books grow with you and never leave you even after you read the final page of the final book.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
