Books That I Absolutely Love
KenFurniture

Along with being a music lover, I am also a book lover. Or as I call myself, a book nerd. I am constantly reading something, whether it is a hard copy or on Audible. And before you ask me, yes I am one of those people that will say "the book was better than the movie," or "that didn't happen in the book." Yes, I understand that would be annoying to you, but other book lovers know how it is and they understand the love of books. When you read a book you get emersed into a whole new world, yes I know that's cheesy but it's absolutely true. You become so attached to that world and the characters that when it ends or a character end sup dying you feel sad, and sometimes even cry. And I love that so many books impact people like that, and here are some of my favorite books that I love and that I can read over and over again.

1. The Truth About Forever By Sarah Dessen

This is the book that got me hooked on Sarah Dessen, and I've read this book at least 10 times, maybe more.

2. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkien

Yes, I know there are more books in this series, but this one is hands down my favorite. Most likely because it is the beginning of an incredible story. and yes, sure The Hobbit is technically the beginning, but this book was the beginning for me.

3. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

I adore anything and everything by Sylvia, but this book was the beginning of me being emersed in everything that is Sylvia Plath, and that's why it is my favorite piece of work by her.

4. The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling

I can't pick just one of these books, I love them all.

5. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare

Just like the Harry Potter series, I can't just pick one book. I love these books so much, I have reread them and also listened to them on Audible!

6. Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Just like the Lord of the Rings, I love the series, but I love this book more than the others. It gets better and better each time I read it and it makes me want to read the rest of the series right after. It's an amazing start to a wonderful story.

7. The Outsiders by S.E Hinton

All I have to say about this book is, Stay Gold Ponyboy.

There are many other books that could be on this list, but these are the ones that always come to mind when asked what my favorite books are these are the ones that come to mind.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
