Several years ago, I was an avid reader. I loved to read because it felt like a movie going on in my head. I could imagine the characters with my own imagination. I could take a break from the things of life. With my college work load, I have neglected books. Now I realize that I really need to get back into reading. I spend way too much time on my phone. So I am excited to start reading again. These 4 books are some of the books I want to read ASAP!

1. "Girl, Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis

When I first heard of this book, I was so confused by the title. It is so random. However, I now follow Rachel Hollis on Instagram which made me even more intrigued with her book. This book is meant to debunk the lies we tell ourselves every day. Rachel seems like a really cool person. I know that her book is going to be truthful and transparent while being extremely funny.

2. "Gmorning, Gnight: Little Pep Talks for Me and You" by Lin-Manuel Miranda 

If you know me, you know I love Lin. He tweets daily with words of encouragement in the morning and at night. He decided to put some of these tweets into book form so that people can read them whenever they need them. I love inspirational words and quotes, so this book is right up my alley. It is also illustrated in the cutest way possible.

3. "You are a Bad***" by Jen Sincero 

I have wondered about this book for a while now. I have never had enough confidence and security in myself. I've gotten better over the years, but I'm hoping that reading this book would help me out. I've seen several people post about it lately, and I'm ready to read it!

4. "Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely" by Lysa TerKeurst 

This, I believe, is more of a devotional. I have used the same devotional for over a year; I never really clicked with it. I am on the hunt for a great book that will help bring me closer to God. I easily feel left out, so once I read the title of this book, I knew it would be perfect for me. I have heard a lot about Lysa Terkeurst, and I am excited to hear what she has to say!

I hope that reading this gave you some suggestions for the next time you go to the book store. I am excited to cross all these books off of my list.

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.
