Save The Culture: Book Swap

It seems like every time we check our Facebook newsfeed we see one of those prewritten "share if you agree" or "post this if you still believe" posts. But the newest post is part of the hashtag "save the culture." This tag is trying to get more people back into reading once again. There is a fun new game that had become part of this new trend and here's how we first start to hear about it

The post reads, "Calling out to all of you bookworms and book lovers from all walks of life. We need at least 6 people to participate in a book exchange. You can be anywhere in the world. All you have to do is buy a book you love and send it to one person. You will receive approximately 36 books back. If you are interested click 'like' and I will message you all the details. Happy reading! #savetheculture."

I won't give away all the secrets so I'm not going to tell you what the message is once you like the post. But I'll tell you how it works.

Once you have seen someone's post about this new and exciting adventure go ahead and like it!

You'll then get a message it will tell you the basics of how this game is supposed to go.

What you are supposed to do is take a book that you really have truly loved, then send that book to the person's address that was sent to you.

Then go and post this as your status and see how many people have liked it and repeat.

I already sent mine to the person I am supposed to and I am very excited, "Beaches" is a book I truly have enjoyed and it's completely different from anything else I've ever read.

Now many people will say it's a scam but I'll let you know it's not. What makes most people believe it's a scam is because it talks about your ability to get 36 books, but that requires that at least 6 people like your status and the next persons and so on.

Save the culture is such a great idea for everyone to get into reading again. It can be just as fun as playing video games. For some people it creates images in their head just as if they were playing games. So let's get our imaginations up and running once again and give this new game a try.

This a super fun, super cool way for us all to get back into reading and in a way get to know some other people we didn't know. You can learn a lot about someone from their favorite things and their favorite book is no different. It's possible that you would even be able to make some new friends and get insulted by their favorite story. So we can learn about people, get educated by reading and give out gifts to other people. There's not much better than that.

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.
