Book Wishlist

Dear You,

Usually I read by renting ebooks from my old library (I mean technically I don't live there anymore but no one has to know that because their ebook library is better than my new city's physical one) which isn't ideal as I absolutely love the feeling of a physical book in my hands but I deal with it. Buying books is usually a bit expensive but lately I've found a few really amazing books that I'd really like to actually own and highlight and mark up because they were so amazing and inspiration that I'd like to add them to my limited personal collection. So here are the books I've been looking at lately...

The Fault in Our Stars 

by John Green

I know this is a very popular book and I read it a year ago and loved it. However after watching the movie and falling in love with the story and John Green's inspirational writing all over again I've been wanting to buy my own hard copy. To reread it and highlight the 50 outstanding quotes that lie within it's pages. If you haven't read it, it really is an amazing story, not just about love but about the idea of life and pain and purpose that young and old constantly enjoy.

Leaves of Grass

by Walt Whitman

Whitman is my favorite poet ever and I quite like poetry, it's one of the most beautiful forms of writing and art and his work is about topics that are interesting to me. There are a million poets who write about social issues present in their time: slavery, racism, suffrage, and their work is amazing and so strong. However I'm far more interested in topics like purpose and morals, some deeper thoughts that you definitely find present in Whitman's writing with quotes that I constantly remind myself of throughout life, just trying to 'contribute my verse'.

14,000 Things to be Happy About

by Barbara Ann Kipfer

Everyone has their low moments and I have really been wanting this book for those moments, just something to open up and remind myself to smile. Especially now after reading the Happiness Project and being inspired by the wonderful writing of Gretchen Rubin, I've been thinking about my happiness and ways to be happy so I think this would be a really nice way to stay in a nice mood. 

The only similarity between these books is that I found them all really inspiring and applicable to my life so I guess I'm just looking for inspiration lately and I'm genuinely excited to go through them and mark up all of my favorite passages for once, which is really weird because I never mark my books, like not even dog earring them. But I will for these because they're amazing :)

Anyways, hope you enjoyed my short but inspirational-based wish list.

Comment below what books you're interested in right now :)

Have an Amazing Day!!!
