1. Harry Potter Series

This book series is a favorite of all young readers, and if you’ve read it, it’s obvious why! No matter if you’re a kid or an adult, the magic of these books never fades! Plus, the movie adaptations are actually pretty accurate in relation to the books!



2. Divergent Trilogy

Ever since these books came out, they’ve been a hit with teens and adults everywhere! They’re part of the dystopian genre that has become a big hit recently and are, in my opinion, some of the best books in the category that are out there.


3. The Selection Series

I was a little late in discovering this series, but they’ve been a favorite of mine ever since I opened the first page! Who doesn’t love a book full of action romance, danger and governmental rebellion? These books have all of that and so much more!


4. The Mortal Instruments

When I first read this series back in 7th grade, I knew that I was going to love all of the books! I remember calling my best friend and telling her that she HAD to read them all with me. Ever since then, I’ve read the whole series at least once every year!


5. The Uglies

This book series was first introduced to me in middle school, and I‘ve always loved it for its fast-paced action and plot twists. It’s definitely a great read for anyone of any age!


6. The Infernal Devices

A prequel series for the Mortal Instruments, these books are definitely a great read! Not only do they give you insightful information that helps in understanding the latter series, they develop their own unique and interesting plots as well.


7. Matched Trilogy

I love this series of books! They’re full of plot twists and drama that keep you guessing until the last page! I was most definitely not expecting the ending!



8. Shiver Trilogy

These books are a great werewolf series! A lot of werewolf/vampire books seem to be trying to copy the concepts of the Twilight Series, but I feel like this series is unique and takes its own individual approach to the werewolf concept, which makes it so much more enjoyable.


9. The Maze Runner Trilogy

I originally put off reading this series because I thought it was for guys, but once I finally read it, I realized that was so not true! The books have a lot of action and suspense, and they’re a great read for both boys and girls!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
