13 Books That Completely Changed My Life
There are books that we read because we have to, and there are books we read because we must. These books pull us in, and we can’t leave the couch until every last word has been digested.
I have been a binge-reader since the age of 9. My head is always stuck in a book, and throughout the years, I have been taken on many fantastic adventures — but it hasn’t been easy to find books that fit. The books that hold our attention and keep us flipping pages as fast as we can read them.

― Oscar Wilde
This list contains my favorite books from childhood to adulthood — books that positively impacted my life somehow and that I would recommend to anyone who loves to read.
