We’re in the midst of winter, and quite frankly, the hours and hours you spend on your shows are starting to get a little old. Why not try reading instead? It will vary your day and maybe even motivate you to make some power moves! Everyone has their own genre they may enjoy, so here’s a few must-reads for the rest of these cold, dreary days.

1. The Alchemist

This masterpiece written by Paulo Coelho takes you on a journey in search of the meaning of life, the world, and the author himself. If you are looking for a book with substance and a story that will keep you questioning and consistently on the edge of your seat, this is the novel for you.


2. Tuesdays With Morrie

WARNING: YOU WILL CRY. In this captivating work, Mitch Albom narrates the story of his friendship with one of his beloved college professors who becomes ill. Albom learns about what is most important on this earth while simultaneously relaying crucial messages to his readers. This book will make you smile, laugh, and of course cry, but I promise you will not regret the read.


3. The Art of Fielding

For every sports fan… and for those who love a good come back story, this is what you need to read. This book combines romance, athletics, college, and even social issues to create pages that you cannot put down.


4. The Notebook

They always say that the book is better than the movie… and you can’t have a winter reading list without Nicholas Sparks. So, I will say no more. This is a must read at any time of the year.


Whether you are looking for a guide to how to live life to its fullest, or just looking for an amazing love story, there is a book out there for you. You can pick from this list or adventure to your local library or store. Either way, get reading! You will not regret it!

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.

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.
