#31: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

I’m sure you’ve all heard about how incredible this book is already. I’m sharing the same sentiment into the thousands of others. Read it. Do it.

#17: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

I finally got my hands on this book and the wait was completely worth it. All the reviews overtaking the internet about how this book is incredible and touching and funny and brilliant are true. Absolutely worth the read. John Green rarely disappoints.

#13: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

I really, really enjoy The Hunger Games series and I’m not ashamed to say it! I know I’m really, really late to the game on actually reading them and I know there are hoards of people that find the entire thing annoying. But if the most annoying thing in your life is the collective enjoyment of literature, I’d say your life is pretty sweet.

#8: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 

So have you guys heard of this book called The Hunger Games? It’s pretty good.

No, but really. I read it for the first time and I loved it. Pass me the kool-aid, I’m joining this cult. 

#27: Will Grayson, Will Grayson by David Levithan and John Green

I don’t spend a lot of time in the Young Adult section of libraries or bookstores (and frankly, I didn’t spend a lot of time there when I WAS a young adult) and it’s generally for a good reason. What has Young Adult literature given us? Twilight. Gossip Girl. Pants that travel. Obviously, it is no shocker that I would much prefer tweezing my pubes than reading about sparkling vampires. But among all of this idiocy are really rare, honest books that make me feel bad for judging YA so harshly. I’m actually only talking about one author in particular because I never read any other books for teens, but still. ANYWAY…John Green. Aside from the epic failure that is Let it Snow, I’ve loved his books. His latest book is really nice. Sometimes it just feels good to read something that takes half a day to finish and inevitably ends sweetly. Will Grayson, Will Grayson brought me comfort and distraction, but it also really sugar-coated what it’s like to be gay and skirted around anything truly honest and, you know, shitty. I wish life existed as John and David Levithan wrote it, and I suppose that is the beauty in reading for me.
