Valentine's Day is right around the corner and if you haven't already planned what you are getting your book-crazed girlfriend, then you should probably get on that.

Does she have an all-time favorite book or series? Get her a matching candle to serve as a constant reminder of it. If she has multiple favorites, then get her a book-scented candle so she can always be reminded of the joy to be had when cracking open a new book.

Bookish mugs.

Get her favorite book quote on a large cozy mug. She will love sipping coffee as it rains, with a good book in her hand.

Take her to the bookstore.

Go on a date to the bookstore! Take her to a cute second-hand shop and each choose a book for the other. Then, after your done, sit down with coffee and food, and read!

Prior to seeing her, get one of her favorite books and read it. As you do so, highlight and circle and underline favorite parts, quotes, and things that remind you of her in it. When you give it to her, she will not only be touched by the fact that you read one of her favorite books, but that she will get to re-read it and see it through your eyes.

Take her on a date from a book.

Find a cute date idea from one of her favorite books! Whether it's stargazing in a field, or doing an extravagant series of things, she will love the fact that you took the time to research and reenact scenes from her books.

Go bookshop hopping.

Figure out where all the bookstores in your town are and visit each one. Make a game out of it and try to find the prettiest cover, ugliest cover, funniest title, etc. End the night with dessert and coffee.

Blackout poetry.

Take her to Goodwill or a second-hand bookshop and each pick out a book. Then, go to a fun coffee shop, back home to a cute dinner, or a picnic. With two pencils and sharpies, use the words on the pages to make a funny story or beautiful poetry. Blackout all the words you didn't circle with the pencil, leaving a creative poem. Have fun with it and write each other love letters, inside jokes, etc.

Book chair.

Reading isn't the most comfortable thing to do. Get your girl a nice little chair where she can keep her coffee beside her, her favorite books in the holders, and read comfortably.

Have a fun game night at home and battle it out over this fun twist to a classic game! Keep it interesting and have books you can "buy" with the remaining money at the end.

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.
