Most of these books on my list I read in elementary school or middle school. The reading bug didn't bit me until a later in life. I actually used to not be a fan. But I just hadn't read the right book or found the right genre. Anyways there are a lot of books I love and would love to reread, so here's my list.

1. The Inkheart Series. These were some of the first books I fell in love with. I remember I read them in elementary school. These were some of the first books that made me want to stay up all night to read. As a 10 year old I had a "bedtime" so I used go to the bathroom and read in there so I wouldn't get in trouble. 

2. Hold Still. I don't really have words for this book. Sometimes life kind of just sucks and you find something, a song, a book, a person, you can relate to. This was kind of one of those books for me. 

3. Before We Were Free. My sister gave this to me as a present and the story just was so amazing, raw, that it both broke my heart and made me fall in love with it.

4. Ever. This book was the book that made me actually enjoy reading. Before this book I didn't know it was possible to care so much about characters. 

5. Twilight Child. This is definitely a sorely underrated book which sucks because it's so good. The cover is really striking and the story is even more so. It's about a girl with the ability to see faeries and her life. It's actually really good, there's action, love, drama, friendship and all that jazz. 

6. East. I'm not really sure what it was about this book, but I picked it up and fell in love with it. It's this weird love story that at times but it's a good one. The main character, is strong and bad-ass and trust me there are a lot of cute swoon worthy moments.

7. The Graveyard Book. SO GOOD. This book is amazing. I pretty much gobbled it all up. I have my older brother to thank for this. He actually made me a list of book he wanted to read and he even said he'd pay me (not that he did or that I remember). But this book was just amazing!

8. Esperanza Rising. I don't really remember how I got my hands on this book but I'm so glad I did. This isn't some fluffy YA book. It's an important story that for a lot of people was their actual life and it touched mine.

9. If I Stay. This book had a profound effect on me. I read it when I was about 12 and it changed a lot of things for me. For one my expectations for a boyfriend increased because Adam.

10.  13 Reasons Why. Reading allows people to see things from a different perspectives. I didn't really understand suicide or what it meant to be so sad then I read this and wow. I think I was 11 or 12. This is one of my favorite books but it's also one of the most heartbreaking books i've read. As much as it made me cry, it's a book I hold dear and would like to revisit

11. The Sumoning Series. I LOVED these books. I devoured them as a middle schooler. I even met Kelly Armstrong and totally fangirled. If you love fantasy you'll love this series.

Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I'll Read

     So I have a couple books sitting on my book shelf, sitting on my TBR list yet I never read them. I know i'm not the only one who has this problem. Here I am looking at these poor unread books and books i really want to want to read. 

1. Maze Runner by  James Dashner. The movie is coming out and I know I need to read it but I can't bring myself to do it. 

2. Pretty Bad Things by C.J Skuse. I got this book as an ARC when I went to The Romantic Times Teen Day Book Festival. It's been sitting on my shelf ever since then. It might as well be brand new...

3. Saving The World by Julia Alvarez. My dad baught me this book because I LOVE Julia Alvarez!! Yet after reading In The Time Of Butterflies, which is around the time I got this book, I just didn't read it. And it looks sooo good and I want to read it but I keep getting distracted by other books :(

4. Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead. A lot of people say this series is amazing but as much as i want to want to read it, I'm pretty positive I won't ever pick it up. 

5. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. I saw the movie. I LOVE the movie. I didn't even know there was a book until one fateful day on Goodreads. I added it to my TBR list, but every time I'm at Barnes and Noble or the Library I never look for it or bother asking for it. What do you guys think? Should I look for it next time i'm at the library?
6. The 100 by Kass Morgan. Speaking of books turned into movies, this one was turned into a T.V show. May I just say Bellamy Blake. *swoons* I know the show is different to the book, but I really don't want to end up not liking the show because it's not like the book.
7. Vampire Diaries by L.J Smith. Similarly I watch the show but i have't read the books. I hear they're good but I just don't think i'll ever read them.
8. Night World: Strange Fate by L.J Smith. This is more of a rant than an actual book I think i won't read. So I read all the Night World books when I was a 6th grader I believe.I'm going to be junior in High School. I DEVOURED them. I loved them so much. I liked how each "book" had different characters and different intertwining story lines. So I finish Night World Vol. 3 which contains three books in one. That's kinda how the sereies works. There are three volumes each with three "books". Then I Google when Strange Fate comes out. 2013. I was really sad that i had to wait. Then 2013 rolls around and I look it up again. 2015. Now i'm just angry. I just looked it up. There's no date now. I'm officially P.O'ed. I'm not sure if this will ever come out :( . I get it she was working through stuff and took a break from writing, and when she was waiting to have her books re-published into the versions I've read. But it's gotten way too ridiculous. And the thing is I know people have been waiting longer than I have.
9. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. I keep checking this out at the library and I keep starting it, but I've yet to finish it. I honestly have no excuse.
10. Fever by  Lauren DeStefano. I read the first book in this sereis, Wither. I didn't really like it. It felt insta- lovey and just no. I've heard good things about the second book but there's so much banter about whether it's good or not I don't think I'll read it.
