The Fault In Our Stars by John green – kind of ironic to put this on my list, considering how much this book made me cry but it’s just so perfect and I loved it.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower – again, kind of a sad book but I thought it was amazing and it made me realise that there are people out there who have it worse. Also, Looking For Alaska (sad but beautiful with kind of a high note ending), Paper Towns (some people don’t like this book but it really, really picked me up, I absolutely LOVED it, the sense of adventure and everything about it made me feel better) and pretty much anything by John Green just because I love his books! | |

The high strung drama of victorian life and affairs, as well as the happy ending never fails to make me smile. | |

Honestly when I want to forget things and focus on something else,
The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and The Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand both help me now and have helped me in the past. Two really great series. | |

Also, the Hitchikers Guide Trilogy of Five (or Six) lets you just marvel and occasionally laugh at the ridiculous wonder of life. | |

These to series helped me through the last years of high school and the beginning of collage. | |
