5 Books To Read This Summer

In This Article:

If you're a dork like I am, you know the struggle of spending hours trying to find the perfect book. As much as shopping in a book store thrills me, with the technology we have today, it's simply easier to order books online. And that's not fun. So here I am preventing you from spending hours searching online. Without further ado, my collection of must read books this summer.

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks 

What better way to start than with quite possibly one of Sparks' best works. This novel mixes the perfect amount of romance and thrill. A small town love story threatened by a crazy ex husband will keep you from ever putting this book down.

The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

This collection of short poems highlights the highs and lows of falling in love, falling out of love, and best of all loving yourself. A must read.

Come Back To Me by Mila Gray

A forbidden love between a girl and her brothers best friend. If that's not steamy enough add on the fact that he's in the military. A man in a uniform that you can't have? Perfect recipe for a romance novel.

Alex Approximately by Jenn Bennett

When I tell you that I didn't put this book down from the second I started it, I am not kidding. I didn't sleep a whole night because I was so into this book. A love story told through two different points of views and a truly happy ending, this easy read will keep you on your toes through the twists and turns of this cute love story.

The Cellar by Natasha Preston

Believe it or not, this thriller was first published on Wattpad (a hub for fan fics and aspiring fiction writers). This novel gained enough popularity it was eventually published and sold in store. This thriller follows the horrifying story of a young girl who is kidnapped and held hostage with several other girls. In a town where nothing ever happens, everyone's life is flipped upside down.

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.
