10 of the Best Books I Read in Middle School

In This Article:

I was a book fanatic when I was in middle school. I used to keep stacks of 3 on my desk that I would go through each week. I recently reread Little Women, and it got me thinking about how much I enjoyed reading when I was younger. These are some of the books that shaped my love of books.

1. Harry Potter

The Hogwarts Castle Quiz | Wizarding World

This is the best series of all time. Period. It's the reason I love to read.

2. Percy Jackson & Heroes of Olympus

The order to read Rick Riordan's Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Norse books in. Perc…

Rick Riordan is hysterical and is a genius. (Praying for a show adaptation after the movie was such a flop)

3. The Kane Chronicles.

Review: The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan – Heart Full of ...

Even more of a reason I was obsessed with mythology.

4. Divergent

I had the biggest crush on Four....I definitely thought I was Divergent.

5. The Hunger Games

My first dystopian series. One of the best ever. Peeta is so cute. Katniss is iconic.

6. The Book Thief

The Book Thief- Novel Timeline | Timetoast timelines

One of the most profound, heartbreaking but also heart lifting books I've ever read.

7. The Mortal Instruments/Infernal Devices

Here's the Real Reason 'Shadowhunters' Was Canceled by Freeform

Cassandra Clare is a genius, but they really could never make a successful show/movie.

8. The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner - "Good Job" Clip

This book could be terrifying and thrilling at the same time. Plus, who doesn't love Dylan O'Brien?

9. The Selection

The Regal Critiques: Series Summaries #3: The Selection Trilogy

This is essentially a glorified version of the Bachelor, but man it's good.

10. The Outsiders

Cover to Credits: THE OUTSIDERS | Birth.Movies.Death.

My 7th grade self cried over this book for like a week straight. Such a beautiful book. Shoutout to my elementary school for making us read this :')

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.
