15 Books And Series That Got Me Into Reading

In This Article:

When I was younger, I read all the time as most of us probably did, thus books are very nostalgic to me. When I think of a lot of these titles, I am brought back to so many places: an elementary school book fair, a middle school reading class, and even to high school testing time. These books helped mold my childhood and adolescence in some shape or form, and I think a lot of people can relate. Here are the most memorable titles from throughout my younger years:

1. Anything Dr. Seuss, obviously

2. Magic Tree House 

My personal favorite was Tonight on the Titanic.

3. Goosebumps 

4. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

5. Junie B. Jones 

6. The Doll People

I remember when anticipating the release of The Runaway Dolls was the only thing on my mind.

7. Anything Shel Silverstein 

The Giving Tree and Where the Sidewalk Ends in particular.

8. The Phantom Tollbooth

9. Diary of a Wimpy Kid

10. Dear America

11. A Series of Unfortunate Events 

12. Hunger Games 

13. Percy Jackson & the Olympians

14. Anything John Green 

The Fault In Our Stars, Looking For Alaska, Will Grayson, Will Grayson--they're all great.

15. Divergent

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.
