Little Pleasures All Book Lovers Experience

It is totally acceptable to sniff books.

Little Pleasures All Book Lovers Experience

There is nothing better than laying in bed with a cup of coffee (or Dr. Pepper) and a good book. Sometimes it's a book you've never read before, and sometimes it's that book you've read over and over again. I am obsessed with reading. I keep a Kindle in my purse. Most of the time when people think I'm texting on my phone, I'm actually reading a book. I am that in love with words on a page.

1. When you walk into a bookstore and it smells amazing.

2. Finally getting the binding in the book to fold just the way you like it.

3. Getting to the end of an amazing book and realizing there is a second book.

4. Spending $15 at the used book store and walking out with 15 books.

5. Rereading a book from your childhood and knowing that it's still just as good.

6. Being able to check out 10 plus books from the library. FOR FREE.

7. Opening the windows when it's raining and reading with the ambient background.

8. Getting a gift card to Barnes and Noble or Half Price Books.

9. When you find someone who loves the same book as you.

10. When you find someone who hates the same movie version of the book as you.

11. When the next book in the series comes out.

12. Being able to imagine whoever you want when imagining who would play a character.

13. Making friends with a character.

14. Falling in love with a character.

15. Opening a new book and catching a whiff of that new book smell.

16. Picking a random book and not knowing anything about it and it ends up being wonderful.

17. Rereading your favorite book on a bad day.

18. Answering the questions some authors put in the back of their books for book clubs.

19. Writing and highlighting all over your books.

20. Passing a book onto a friend and they end up loving it as much as you do.

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.
