Popular Young Adult Trilogies

My parents have told me I read too much.

I am an avid reader, which works out well considering I average about one book every three to four days during the summer. My summer job consists of sitting around for the greater part of my shift, giving me hours to read whatever I like.

This summer, I have been a huge fan of trilogies. When I find a book that I love, it’s hard to let it go once it’s done, but with trilogies, you don’t have to. I feel three books is the perfect length for most stories. It’s not drawn out too much, but it’s the perfect amount to (hopefully) leave you satisfied with the story.

I don’t know about you, but when I fall in love with a book, I immerse myself into the characters' world while I’m reading it, and it can be pretty hard to move on from a great read once it’s over.

Here are my top three favorite trilogies I have read so far this summer.

1. Feed by Mira Grant

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live during a zombie apocalypse? Well, my favorite fictional heroine, Georgia Mason, humorously and sarcastically chronicles her adventures through the Feed series, leading us through one government conspiracy after the other, while dodging ferocious zombie attacks

2. Divergent by Veronica Roth

If you were a fan of the Hunger Games trilogy, I would definitely recommend this one. Even if you weren’t a fan, I would still recommend it. Set in the future, when humanity has seemingly lost all control, we meet our heroine, Beatrice Prior. Better known as Tris throughout the series, she fights for what she believes is right for society and her people, which is their freedom. Something is not right within their factions, and Tris makes it her life’s purpose to set things right.

3. The Maze Runner by James Dashner

I am a sucker for young adult dystopian novels, and this trilogy did not disappoint. Set in a time where the world seems to be coming to an end at the hands of a disease alarmingly similar to a zombie apocalypse, though not the same thing. This series centers on Thomas, a teenage boy who wakes up to find himself in a “Maze” with other teenage boys who are unable to recall any of their pasts. While fighting to survive, these boys start discovering things that don’t add up, ultimately leading to the reason why they were put where they are.

Let me know what some of your favorite summer reads have been in the comments below!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
