Some books just change things for you. These are some that changed me. I'll Give You the Sun - Jandy NelsonThis is one of my absolute favourite books, and sometimes it just comes up in my mind and I can't stop thinking about it for a while. It's humanising and grounding and so so real. The Fault in Our Stars - John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars is a great book, but that's not why it made this list. Reading this launched me into a path of self discovery and brought me to John and Hank Green on YouTube and consequently to a large group of fans who are unapologetic nerds and made me feel like I belonged somewhere, which was something I really needed when I was 13 and lost. The Hate U Give - Angie ThomasI'm thankful for this book because I am hoping it changes people's views on things. I was already a strong Black Lives Matter supporter before reading this, but it still changed things for me and made it feel just that bit closer to home. I really think that this book makes people think too and makes them get behind the BLM movement. The Outsiders of Uskoken Castle - Kurt HeldThe book that sparked my love for reading. CHERUB - Robert MuchamoreThe series that kept the spark burning. What books have had an important impact on your life? Let me know!
