“New year, New me.” We hear this every year for about 79% of the human population. How many times do you think that It actually follows through. Just because it’s a new year, doesn’t mean that you need to change yourself around completely. There is a lot you can do to change you habits like, Dieting, Reading more, writing more. Whatever you want to change, do it. You shouldn’t feel like you need to change around your whole life just because the calendar starts over.

 I’m weird, I don’t like reading about people fighting each other to the death, or people who can turn other people into animals or anything weird like that. I guess I’m not a normal teenager because of this.
This generations favorite genre is probably somewhere between sci-fi and mystery or something. And, I can’t stand either of those things. The only book series that I have read and enjoyed that has to do with one of these genres was the Divergent series. But, that may just be because I know who is playing that characters in the movies and I love them all so dearly. c My Favorite genre is contemporary. Almost all of the reviews that I have done are about contemporary books. They are just more realistic to me and I don’t find them boring at all. This genre makes them so much more believable which makes me honestly, so much more emotional. I have cried because of a decent number of books before. Like, The Fault In Our Stars Looking For Alaska Perks Of Being A Wallflower The infinite Moment Of Us Thirteen Reasons Why Before I Fall And those are just the most popular that I figure most of you reading this would know. But if you throw in some weird sci-fi I honestly, just find it boring. It is hard for me to connect to something that seems so distant from what is really there. I have never read Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. I have read The Hunger Games because I felt that it was just a given and everyone should read that series and I read them when I was in like sixth grade. I am not trying to contradict anybody's opinion or trying to set anybody on a new path of believing but I just can’t believe that the top genre for 2013 was sci-fi. Even my sister makes fun of me because she says that the book I read are ‘Boring’ and ‘all the same’. And It is true sometimes. A lot of these books are the same, A lot of them begin, and end exactly the same with just a little bit of diversity in between but that is probably what keeps me hanging on. The book that I am reading right now is confusing me the most because I cant tell if its sci-fi Or if its contemporary. The cover screams sci-fi and so does the blurb on the inside but, the content is different. I got recommended this book by a you tuber that probably doesn’t even know that I exist but I trusted her opinion and bout it. The book Is Premeditated by Josin L. Mcquien. All I am trying to say in this post is, just because one genre is most popular, doesn’t mean everyone should have to love it. Be diverse and love what you read. The reason that I didn’t read until just last year, was because I didn’t think that there was anything good out there to read. I thought everything was the same and about slaying dragons and living in an alternate universe but, it’s not. If you love sci-fi then by all means, read it. If you love romance novels, then read 89 of them. Just, don’t let people tell you what you can and cannot read because that is one of the things that I love about reading so much. You can become the person that you always wished you could be just by opening up a book and looking at some words on a page. It’s truly a beautiful thing and I wish everyone would hear that. 
This book, this book, this book. wow. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. If you haven’t herd of or read this book, then first of all, I don’t know where you have been this past year, and second of all, you should read it. Of course, it’s by John Green so it has to be good. This is also one of the most quotable and memorable books that I have ever read. I will put some of the quotes at the end of this post because they are so amazing.
The Fault In Our Stars is about 2 cancer patients, Hazel Grace, And Augustus (Or Gus) Waters. You can probably already tell that this book is probably very sad because it has to do with two sick cancer patients, but that is right, it is extremely sad. There is a love story as anybody may have guessed by John Green. They do stupid things together like smoke without lighting the cigarette, selling childhood swing sets, and going to Amsterdam to meet their favorite author who the both admire so much. This is one of the most memorable books that I have ever read, it is written so incredibly beautifully and you can tell how much time was spent into this masterpiece. I have gotten almost my whole family and friends into reading this book. I got both my grandmas, my mom, my sister, and my best friend all to read it. The movie for The Fault In Our Stars is coming out on june 6th 2014 and the trailer comes out on valentines day, which I am looking forward too. Rumor has it that John Green is playing a major role in the movie, I think that he will be playing the author that they both love because in one of his videos on his vlogbrother channel, he said that he won’d be doing much acting, I think that they video was a Q&A with Ansel Elgort who is playing agustus. Ansel is also playing Caleb in divergent. I feel like I keep going on and on about how incredibly beautiful this book is and I apologize. (But not really because it is really incredibly beautiful) It is not only about the writing and the words spilled on the page, but it is the way that he has made this book so easy to connect too. I get very emotionally attached to books to the point where sometimes I wish I didn’t, but this one is where i had it the worst. I have read it 3 time and each time I can read it under 3 hours because you literally just can’t put it down, for real. I have nothing but good things to say about this book except for that fact that it is extremely sad and I was probably crying for at least an hour after I finished it, but it is worth the tears. “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.” -John Green “Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.” -John Green “The marks humans leave are too often scars.” -John Green | AuthorI'm Ashlynn.
