Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag [ten] friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.

1. Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King

2.  To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

3. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

4. The Immortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare

5. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

6. Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

39: Talk about things you wish you'd known earlier

I'm gonna take "earlier" and give it a time, that being when I was 15 years old.

I wish I'd known that shitty feeling that was just part of high school would go away eventually

I wish I'd known that the boy I (at the time) neglected the rest of my life for would play such a small role in the long run

I wish I'd known that my mom, who I hated at the time, was just trying to protect me and see me succeed, and how grateful I would be

I wish I'd known that my friends who I turned my back on for a while would be the ones that stuck with me through everything, not the ones I tried to change myself for

To sum it all up, and if I could give advice to any younger followers it would be this: your life at 15 is not gonna be your life forever.
