My test of a good novel is dreading to begin the last chapter. - Thomas Helm

Way back when I was, I believe, 18 I created a list of 20 books to read before you're 20. Well, SURPRISE! I am now 20 years old and I have sadly not read every book on my list (although I had only missed about five). But the good thing is, I've picked up reading again and I tend to read every book from my old list AND I'm going to add to it.

I really tend to get into reading when I'm at a low time in my life. At a time where I truly prefer books over people. I read a lot in high school if that tell you anything about my high school experience. I love to sink into a book and just be in complete solitude. Books help me feel less lonely and brighten my mood.

Tonight I finished reading The truth About Forever for the third time. If i had any of my other Sarah Dessen books here with me I'd probably reread all of those as well. Although, I have a countdown on my phone till her new book, what Happened to Goodbye, comes out (MAY 10TH!) What can I say, she's my favourite female author!

So, here is my new and improved list of books to read.

1. What Happened to Goodbye - Sarah Dessen

2. As Simple As Snow - Gregory Galloway

3. Looking For Alaska - John Green

4. Sloppy Firsts - Megan McCafferty
5. The Choice - Nicholas Sparks
6. North of Beautiful - Justina Chen Headley
7. Hate List - Jennifer Brown
8. Living Dead Girl - Elizabeth Scott
9. Going Too Far - Jennifer Echols
10. If I Stay - Gayle Forman

Alright, that's enough for now. I may add to this list if I come across any other books that spark my interest.

PS - isn't the title quote so true?! I hate when a good book ends!
