The first book I remember ever really loving was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The magic I felt while reading was incredible and has stuck with me to this day. This book got me through some difficult times and has never failed to make me smile.

Who doesn't love Dobby? I wish I could have a house elf. Not to do my chores but to be a loyal friend and help guide me through life. 

Mockingjay was one of the first books that kept me up all night reading, and let me tell you this was for sure an emotional roller coaster. All that happens with Peeta and Katniss and waiting to see what was gonna happen had my anxiety skyrocketing.

This Star Won't Go Out truly inspired me. The story of this young girl was so incredibly sad and happy at the same time its hard to explain. But the way she looked at life was so uplifting. Esther lived every day to the fullest and never took anything for granted. I am inspired to live my life that way.

What better way to spend a rainy day then to cuddle up with your furry friend and read a good book!

How many times has Dumbledore said something that we all stopped to think about and realize how profound it was. 

This quote has always stuck with me. It reminds me that no matter how bad things seem to be that I always have the power within me to turn things around. 

By far my favorite genre to read is dystopian. It amazes me how every author comes up with something so different then the rest. The possibilities in this genre are endless.
