In This Article:

Reading has shaped my life drastically. Its instilled a passion in me that now calls me to the publishing career. These are just some of the books that gave me the passion I have today.

The Twilight series by Stephenie Myer

VarageSale.com

Sorry y'all I had to do it. Twilight was my first true love when it came to books.

Stargirl and Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

Pintrest

Stargirl was honestly the book that got me into reading. It's your typical story about a boy who falls in love with a new girl, who is abnormal, to say the least. Love, Stargirl continues the story from Stargirl's point of view after the events of Stargirl. It's definitely written for children, but you can pick up this book at any age.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Walmart.com

The Divergent series had so much potential, but the rest of the books are lackluster compared to the first. This book is a water-downed version of Brave New World, but it's still as enjoyable as it's inspiration.

The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff

Reloveplanet on Blogspot

Anyone who goes to Temple has most likely/will read the Dao De Jing (or Tao Te Ching, depending on your professor). These books reimagine the story of Daoism in an easier way to read for those who think the concepts are so foreign. Plus, Pooh and Piglet are adorable in these stories.

Fire and Blood by George R.R. Martin

Amazon.com

This is the only Game of Thrones book I could bring myself to complete. It tells the story of the Targaryen family from just before their arrival to Westeros to 150 prior to the main story. It is the first part of a 2 part collection, with the next part coming within the next year or two, finishing off with Aerys Targaryen II, aka the Mad King.

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Ebay.com

Honestly, I can't even put into words how much I like this book. It's a book that tells the story of communism, but through farm animals starting a coupe and taking over the farm. Enough said.

Anything by John Green

Amazon.com

If I ever need a good cry, John Green has never failed me. His books never fail to tell complex and deep stories in a simple way that people of any age can enjoy.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Wikipedia.com

From the style, the book was written (you are receiving letters from an old friend, "Charlie"), to the deep, gut-wrenching, story he tells, The Perks of Being a Wallflower truly hits strong and fast. For those of us who had older friends in high school, this story reminds us of what it felt like to let those friends go.

The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan

Costco Wholesale

Summer 2019 I decided to go back and read something I missed out on as a child. I stumbled on the Percy Jackson series in a thrift store, I think I got the first and third books. I read the first book in about 4 hours, then rushed to get the rest. I haven't felt the need to finish a series so fast since...

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

World Media Incorporated

Honestly, words cannot even begin to etch the surface of what this book means to me. It was instrumental to my childhood and taught many lifelong lessons. Honestly, if you haven't read this series, what are you doing with life?

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.
