If you're a bookworm like me, then this one is for you -

Books are a way to escape reality. With every word, you feel captivated. you can enter a whole new world and become an entirely different person. You can learn so many new things from reading and you can feel so much passion. In celebration of books and book lovers, here is a list of amazing books I recommend (without spoiling them for you):


“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”

― Stephen King


1. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson


It's a book about Jude and her twin brother, Noah navigating life. This book involves tragedy, separation, resentment along with romance, inspiration, and creativity.

p.s. I read this book in one sitting


2. It's Kind of A Funny Story by Ned Vinzzini

A young boy struggles with the high expectations of life and severe depression and finds his way into a mental institution. What happen during his time in the institution? You'll have to read to find out.


3. Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan


A truly inspiring story about a young women who finds out she has a serious brain disease. You will find yourself feeling as if you are making this tragic journey with her. By the end, you will be feeling like you can get through and accomplish anything.


4. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart


You will get wrapped up into the world of young Cadence. You learn who her family is and who she is. But she has a secret. She feels as if something is wrong, but what is it?


5. Looking for Alaska by John Green

Most readers have already read this book. I hoped you loved it as much as me if you did, and of course I had to put it on my list of recommendations. If you haven't read it, then start.

It's about a boy who essentially meets this mysterious girl while attending boarding school. It's romance and it's by John Green - two perfect combinations.


Okay, now that I'm done - get to reading.

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.

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.
