Top Ten Books I Want my Future Children to Read
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: If this isn't on your list, you're doing life wrong. (Ok so not really, but still lol)
2. Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds: I am NOT a fan of verrsee novels, but this one changed me completely. Hopefully my kids will like it just as much!
3. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan: I fell in love with mythology after reading this one. Ever since I have wanted to know and read everything I can about mythology.
4. Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan: Refere to #3.
5. Dear Martin by Nic Stone: I don't like that I have to do it, but this is a VERY neccessary conversation that I will have to have with my children. And since Nic Stone did it so much better than me, I will most def push this into their hands!
6. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas: Refer to #5 and change Nic Stone to Angie Thomas.
7. Into White by Randi Pink: I will hand them this to teach them to love the skin they're in.
8. Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios: I need her/him to know what to look for. I really want them to know that they can come to me for anything and if they ever find themselves in this situation, I want them to know I will ALWAYS take their side.
9. The Names they Gave Us by Emery Lord: I want them to be their own person and make their own choices and that is fine by me.
10. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown: Literally the very first book I ever learned to read by myself. I fell for this so long ago and I am positive that my kid will too!
