One of My 2017 Goals is to read and buy books as much as I can. I have hundreds of books on my list that I would like to recommend you guys, but I narrow them down and I list five of my favorite books of all time! Have you read any of the books on my list? Also, please leave any book recommendations in the comments section!
1.) The Diary of a Young Girl Book by Anne Frank
I think this is one of those books that you can finish reading in a day. For all those who don't know this book is about a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family who had to go into hiding during the second world war to escape the Nazis. I read this book when I was in 2nd year high-school and this book inspired me to start my own journal. And since then, I never stop writing. One lesson that I've learned from reading this book, a lesson in life that I will be keeping with me forever is to never give up on yourself and never give up on your dreams.

2.) The Little Prince
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is genius for creating something remarkable like this 80 page book that will leave a great impact in anyone's life!. I took this book for granted when I read it during my teenage years and I didn't bother to read the book again until I've seen the movie. I will not explain further why I love this book so much. I will leave it to you guys to find out.

3.) The Alchemist
I just recently finish reading this book. I know it has been around for a number of years and I am a little late to join the bandwagon. But, Hey! At least, I get to finish the book and I should say that somehow the book is similar to The Little Prince. Because it also talks about the power and importance of following your dreams. What I realized after reading this book is that everyone has a different journey in life. What I am trying to say is, every single person in this world needs to walk their own path, from beginning to end. That each of us is unique and nobody else in this world will experience exactly the same things as you will. One more important thing that I realized after reading this book is that we should embrace the present and there's no point dwelling on the past or torturing yourself about what if or what could've been or not. Most importantly, being anxious about the future. What I've learned is that in the present moment, you’re in the field of possibility and how you engage with the present moment will direct your life.

4.) Saving My First Kiss: Why I'm Keeping Confetti in My Closet
This is something for all the girls out there! Boys feel free to read this part too!. If I can still recall this is my first Christian Book that I've read. How I wish that, someone way back before gifted this to me and life will be different hahaha!. This book a perfect gift for anyone, especially for teenage girls. The reason why I included this book in my list of books that you must read before you die is that because, if I will go back to my younger days I will slap myself with this book and maybe I should have given my first kiss to someone who is much worth it! I should say hahaha... Leave a comment if you can relate :)
- When God Writes Your Love Story
I'm not including this book as my top 5 but I would like to mention this book too. Every time someone will ask me about a book recommendation. I always advise them to get and read this. The book tackles about emotional and physical intimacy. Though, after reading this, it might cause you to be single for a long time or maybe not to get married because your standards will go higher up in the sky, but I still highly suggest for you girls to give this book a chance and yourself a chance to have a different perspective when it comes to love and choosing the right man. I know that this book seems like about how you will wait for someone made perfectly for you, but this book will also teach you how to become a whole version of yourself if that's makes sense. Girls it is not just about waiting for the prince in a shining armor you know. Though, that's what we learned from growing up from fairy tales, but we also need to mold ourselves too.
<i> “If you are longing for something more than the hit-and-run relationship cycle, something beautiful and meaningful in your life, then I'm going to lay it on the line. You must let go of the captain's position in your life and trust Him. You must give up the little you're hanging on to now to gain something infinitely greater. You must let go of the helm and let Him lead.”
― Eric Ludy </i>
5.) Ready Player One
