Every
book you read transports you to a fascinating fictional world. Well, let’s just
agree that life would be too boring without fairytales, dragons and some magic.
Whether it’s Cinderella’s lost shoe or Harry Potter’s wand, we all fell a
little in love with these stories. Well, amidst all these stories that we read,
some leaves a major impact on our lives. Today, I’m going to share 5 books that
are very special to me. These books aren’t from one single genre, but they’re
art of work and should be read by everyone!
#1
Harry Potter
Is
there anything about Harry Potter that hasn’t been said already? Well, this is
one of the series that can be read by kids as well as adults. Set in a
fictional world, this magical series will touch your hearts with its compelling
storyline and characters. This is a great book to start with if you’ve just
gotten into reading as it will surely make you fall in love with it! Harry
Potter is hands down my all time favorite which I recommended to everyone.
#2 The
Book Thief
This one
is quite intense, to be honest. Set back in the time of WWII. The most
intriguing part of this book is its narrator – Death. Yes, this book is
narrated by Death, and I tell you, I can’t get more exciting than this. The
Book Thief follows a story of a girl, Liesel Meminger, who comes to live with
her foster parents and her experience during the Nazi Germany war. It also
shows her resilience and determination towards reading new words and books with
the help of her father. This book is the epitome of power of words. The story
being narrated by death itself, it’s truly a memorable read about love, loss, strength
and compassion.
#3 Me
Before You
Me
Before You is a book that every romance lover would enjoy. If you loved The
Notebook or The Fault in Our Stars, well then you’ve gotta read this one! It
revolves around an independent woman, Louisa, who takes up a job of looking
after a paralyzed man, Will Traynor. It’s a beautiful and emotional love story
of two strangers who become lovers under unusual circumstances. If you’re
looking for a feel good and slightly emotional love story, this one’s for you!
#4 The
Martian
The Martian
is about a man who is stranded on Mars and find ways to cope with the uncertain
atmosphere and limited resources. Mark Watney, the narrator’s humor and charm
will certainly blow your mind! His charismatic personality will hook you till
the end. While we go along with Mark on his journey, there’s also a danger looming;
limited food resources and ways to connect to earth – will he find his way
back? Is there a way he can be rescued? Well, all answers to these questions
can be found in the book! So, what are you waiting for? Go and grab The Martian
#5 IKIGAI
This is
something out of my comfort zone – Non Fiction. Until this year, I had only
read Fiction novels. But this book caught my attention from the very first
sight. The name didn’t make sense to me, but the line below it – The Japanese
Secret to a Long and Happy Life – really intrigued me. In the era where we’re
constantly surrounded by stress and busy schedule (not right now though, since
we’re all quarantining), I thought it would be interesting to read this book.
The writing style of IKIGAI is fairly simple, which makes it an even better and
helpful read. It states simple and adaptable ways to live a longer and happier
life. Moreover, it includes the lifestyle of Japanese people and how they’ve
found their ikigai – purpose in life. If you implement only a few tips from
this book, you’d get a headstart towards improving your life.
Well, I
hope you guys found these book recommendations helpful! Do share your favorite
books in the comments below and I’ll check them out :D
