He also provides his Book of Shadows as a guide to creating your own.

4. "Impulse"

This book follows the lives of three very different individuals. However, they are all going to the same location known as Aspen Springs, which is for those who have tried to commit suicide multiple times. You meet the characters Vanessa, Conner and Tony who all decided they have had enough with their own personal suffering. One grabs a blade, another a gun and the last one grabs a bottle. They are all given a second chance to clean up and have a better life, especially with the help of each other. Hopefully they can all face their inner demons together and end it once and for all.

5. "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher

Before the events in this book take place, a girl named Hannah committed suicide. Before she died she left behind a series of cassette tapes which all described the reasons why she killed herself. Each tape involves some sort of mistreatment, whether it was cruel or guilty, all revolving around the students at her school. (P.s. this will be a movie soon starring Selena Gomez).

6. "Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children"

The story follows a boy named Jacob who looked up to his grandfather. His grandfather has a history of living in an orphanage, fighting in wars and battling monsters that follow him. Jacob's grandfather shows him a wide variety of vintage photographs that he has collected from the orphanage, but these are not ordinary photos. The photos include strange things, such as a girl who can float, an invisible boy and a mysterious head master. After his grandfather passed away, Jacob decides to go to the Welsh orphanage for clues about his grandfather's life. After arriving Jacob goes to the orphanage, only to find similar photographs like his grandfather's. Soon Jacob began to uncover more clues and meet some peculiar people on his journey.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
