Top 15 Must Read Books

Here's a list of reviews for my all time favorite books to relieve your stress.

1. The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

(www.kieracass.com/books)

Indeed, one of the most beautiful curated books I've ever read. The settings, the characters and plot twists in this series is more than a fairy tale it talks about love, family, friendship and how to handle responsibilities.

Moreover, I recommend young girls to read the series as it will give you lessons on responsibility and becoming of age.

2. Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling

(https://www.jkrowling.com)

The best books of all time. Period. It captivated the minds of all ages, I must say that after reading one book, this would truly appreciate the creativity of the author's mind. It will leave us wanting for more books to read. The characters are all amusing. The plot twists would leave us breathless and even cry out loud.

Most of all, I love Hermione's character in the book, how she can handle everything, memorize every spell (It's leviOsa, not leviosA!) and a competitor as well.

3. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

(www.johngreenbooks.com)

The book that left us crying. This is a tear-jerker book with an unexpected plot twist. I love how the flow of this book goes, of how they talk about cancer and how people suffer from it. The thing is even if the characters in the book have suffered from it (spoiler alert), they are still normal people, they can still do what normal people can and their lives can be more exciting than other people (for those who stays on their comfort zone). I cried a lot of times while reading the book. It's a good book to read, really!

4. Percy Jackson & the Olympians by Rick Riordan

(rickriordanbooklist.com/percy-jackson-series)

This is the first series of books I've finished and the beauty of this is that the story is about Greek gods and goddess, mainly on Percy Jackson.

I recommend the youth to read this series as it is modernized and it's not boring, it has funny sides as well. The actions and and how they were explained is quite amusing. Overall, this is one great series to read.

5. The Catastrophe of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg

(https://www.jessrothenberg.com)

Also my favorite, it's possibly the most endearing book I've ever read. I bought this book and let my friends borrow it and want them to also experience the feeling of reading this book. The story about love, family, friends including afterlife. This book will boost your imagination. Overall, this one is a must read page turner book. I secretly wish this book become a movie soon, I would seriously line up in the first day of showing. I promise.

6. Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth

(veronicarothbooks.blogspot.com)

Divergent Trilogy and Four will bring you to so many mind blowing possibilities. If you read the first book, Divergent, you would really anticipate and would want for more. The author's broad mind has lead me to think; What If? What if the things in the book happens in the future? and What if I get a flying bird tattoos? You wouldn't know unless you read it.

7. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

(www.ransomriggs.com)

This book really made me think of wanting to meet a peculiar child and if I have something peculiar in me, things like that. Before reading this book, I first saw the trailer of the movie, that is why I though Wow, I could read this book because this is gonna be so amazing! And yes, after reading the book, I've really anticipated to watch the film since. I suggest you guys read it first and watch the film, there so many differences but it's alright and you will love it as well.

8. Sad Girls by Lang Leav

(https://www.langleav.com/sadgirls)

This book will give you all the feels. It talks mainly about suicide (spoiler alert), family, friends, love life, adulthood and I must say you would really anticipate the story and all you wanted to do is read and finish it to find out what will happen next. Tho this book is "Sad Girls" it's not all that sad. The whole duration of reading will never bore you and will leave you feeling "kilig", as well.

9. The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

(www.simonandschuster.com)

The story of a young boy and how he cope up with being a wallflower or a shy boy; Charlie. The Perks of Being A Wallflower talks about so many things, and teens can really relate specially when you are kinda shy type. You'll read how the main character discover the fun side of life; music, friendship, car rides, and party. Also, don't forget to watch the movie afterwards.

10. Paper Towns by John Green

(www.johngreenbooks.com)

Paper towns is a story of mysterious, fun and the teenage life a young and shy boy, Quentin. I love how the story goes as it first tells how Q and Margo, went out for the night of fun and pranks and at some point, in the morning, Margo, was nowhere to be seen. And Q then led a mission trying to find his way to Margo with the help his friends. Find out if Q and Margo saw each other again by reading the book.

11. If I stay by Gale Forman

(gayleforman.com/books)

This is a story about Mia, a young girl with a passion for music. This story tells all about being with family is the greatest thing ever and the thought that they will leave us soon, which for me is the saddest thing about this book.Find out how Mia decides about her future, whether she will follow her musical career or choose to be with the love of her life or will she choose both.

12. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

(jensmithwrites.tumblr.com)

First of all, the title The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight itself has captivated my eyes and really made me wanting to read it. I've learned also that time is the most fragile thing in the world that if one small thing never happened, you might not experience that one big thing that would change your life. Here's my favorite quote from the book; "Love is the strangest, most illogical thing in the world."

13. The Maze Runner by James Dashner

(www.jamesdashner.com)

What if you have been trapped to a place where you can't remember anything?

The characters will enchant you of how brave they were to conquer something that will lead them to discover the whole truth of their existence and why they have been trapped to a certain place and why they don't remember anything.

14. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

(www.rainbowrowell.com)

What's nice about this book is that it has dual point of views and you will know exactly what the characters felt about each other. This talks about two 16 year old, a red head girl and a half-Korean boy and how they met on a school bus and how they fell in love with each other. And it would also talk about bullying and abuse, which is sad and which makes it more compelling to read.

15. New York Minute by Eliza Willard

(www.elizawillard.com)

The first book I've ever finished. Although, by the time I've read it it has already been in the motion picture however, it was still a super fun book and lead me to imagine so many things. The settings (New York) and the Characters which are by then, my Favorites, The Olsen Twins. To complete the entire 14 year old self experienced, you must watch the movie after reading the book.
