Five Books To Read Over Spring Break

The best time to cram in books!

Spring break is a great time to catch up and read books that have been sitting on your "To Be Read" (TBR) list for months. With schoolwork out of the way, there's plenty of time to relax! Over this spring break, I compiled a list of books I'm hoping to read before I got back to school.

1. The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

I put this book first because I'm dying to figure out how this series ends! It's always exciting to see if you're right about your predictions. In general, this magical series is easy to become immersed in, and I'm excited to read more of Maggie Stiefvater's work after completing this series.

2. Want by Cindy Pon

"Want" has been on my TBR list since I first saw the cover on Twitter. Taiwanese based sci-fi? Sign me up for that; I've always been interested and excited to see what the world has to offer outside of the mainstream, and naturally, gravitate towards this diverse and unique plots!

3. And I Darken by Kiersten White

Not only is the cover of this book beautiful and intriguing, but it's a Vlad the Impaler retelling! It follows the POV of two siblings, and I've heard the characters are rich. I love stories that are driven by character, plus this is a series! If I manage to finish this book, I may be picking up another couple books after it.

4. The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang

I've been in love with Jen Wang's art since I read "In Real Life," so once I discovered she created another graphic novel, I knew I had to pick it up and read it. I might be cheating on this one, since I've already read it. Still, with graphic novels, I feel like I enjoy reading them twice to get a little extra enjoyment out of it.

5. Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab

Alternatively, any book by Victoria Schwab that I haven't read yet. But for the sake of this list, we're going to go with a book I've started and desperately want to finish. I'm intrigued by this strange world Schwab created, and want to figure out what's happening with the new monsters being introduced!

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.
