8 Great Books For Readers And Nonreaders Alike

Have you ever got so lost in a book that you look up after hours of reading and don't know what day it is? No? Only me? Well, these books are sure to give you that lost-in-my-book-don't-talk-to-me-until-I'm-done feeling.

1. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

This is my all-time favorite book. The movie is amazing too, but, as they say, the book is ALWAYS better.

2. Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

Also, I should mention that Gillian Flynn is my favorite author. She's a genius, honestly. Check out the series on HBO based on this thrilling book.

3. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

I promise not ALL of my favorite books have movies based on them. But, this one does. It has the same vibe as Gone Girl, which is why I couldn't put it down.

4. Into The Water by Paula Hawkins

Paula Hawkins is another genius. I read this book during my week-long beach vacation a few years ago and finished it after day three.

5. Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

This book isn't fiction, but I think everyone MUST read it. Its one of those books that teach you how to be confident and helps you figure out your entire life. Helpful, right?

6. Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

Any Parks and Recreation fans? In this book, Ansari teaches you more about dating in the 21st century than any online column would.

7. Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazi

I was recommended this book by a young entrepreneur who insisted everyone needed to read this book. I completely agree. It helps you understand the importance of networking and relationships in a world where everyone seems to be looking out for number one.

8. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

Last, but not least, this one is a classic. Everyone needs to learn how to not give a f*ck.

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.
