My Top 5 Favorite Books

In This Article:

This is going to be a list of a few books that I will always enjoy. Some books are commonly known and others not so much. I will summarize those that may not be known for my fellow reading friends.

SHERLOCK HOLMES By: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Of course, my ultimate favorite series of books would be Sherlock Holmes. I have always had a passion for mystery books hence my love for Sherlock and Scooby-Doo. Most of Sherlock Holmes consists of shorter stories and some lengthy ones. I don't have a specific favorite short story of Sherlock Holmes because I love so many of them. It just amazes me how Sherlock Holmes' mind is so complex and how he uses that to solve these murders or missing person cases.

THE BROTHERS GRIMM - Complete Series

Giphy

For those who may not know, The Brothers Grimm is a set of different folklore or fairy-tail short stories. Many of these stories are the precursors of the Disney take on fairy-tails. It was so weird seeing the difference between Disney and Brothers Grimm.

"The Poisonwood Bible" By: Barbara Kingsolver

Giphy

The Poisonwood Bible is about a missionary family that goes to a remote part of Africa to urge the locals to convert to Christianity. However, there are many issues that arise along the way. Different deaths, fighting, and insanity. Reading this book showed an interesting take on what happens when locals aren't too keen on converting to a new religion.

"Relic" By: Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

Giphy

"Relic" is a book about a mysterious relic that was brought to the museum. With that relic came a terrifying monster who ran throughout the museum-goers and workers. You see the story progress with the researcher Margo when she tries to discover the monster and stop the killings. Me being a museum lover, this book was an automatic love.

"11/22/63" By: Stephen King

Giphy

"11/22/63" is a time-traveling adventure of Jake, a high school teacher. Jake was approached by old Janitor who offered him the adventure of a lifetime. However, that adventure had a request come with it. The request for saving John F. Kennedy. This book was a different take on what Stephen King usually writes about and it was interesting to see the different writing style that was in the story.

There are plenty more books that I would have written about, but my list would be around 200 and I don't believe you guys would want to sit here and read about it. However, these five books will always be my favorite and will always love to reread them when I have the time.

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.
