Top All Time Favorite Books/Series!

These are my top favorite books in no particular order.  I don't think that I could put them in order even if I tried! :D I hope you enjoy and check them out!
1. Harry Potter Series- J.K. Rowling- This is my absolute favorite book series ever and it was my life when I was little.  I went a little overboard in my Harry Potter believing, meaning that I made myself a robe and a wand, and even some invisible ink(:
2. Twilight Series- Stephanie Meyer- I know you all may think this series is way too hyped up, but the books are absolutely amazing and Stephanie Meyer wrote them so eloquently that they make you feel like you're living it.
3. Pretty Little Liars Series- Sara Shepard- You may say "I watch the TV show, I don't need to read the books" but that is absolutely not true.  The books are completely different and never fail to keep you entertained and guessing!
4. Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging Series- Louise Rennison- This series is going to keep you laughing throughout all the books.  It also gives Americans some insight into British lifestyle.
5. The Summer I Turned Pretty Series- Jenny Han- I just finished this series and it literally made me laugh, made me cry, and made me wish for summer.  It was absolutely one of the best book series I have ever read in my life and if you're a teenage girl, you're going to love it!
6. Any Books By Sarah Dessen-  Sarah Dessen is a fantastic author.  All her books are directed toward teenage girls and all have their own life lessons.  She has around 7 or 8 books and I definitely recommend that you read them if you get the chance. (:
7. The Pact, My Sister's Keeper, & Plain Truth- Jodi Picoult- I grouped these together because they are all by the same author.  All of Jodi Picoult's books are extremely controversial and heart breaking but also very good and well written.
8. Dear John, The Last Song, & The Lucky One- Nicholas Sparks- I also grouped these together because of the author, but all of these books are amazing.  They're all very romantic and have some controversy and confusion.  Once again do not rely on the movies for these books because the movie's endings are completely opposite for most of them.
9. Stolen- Lucy Christopher-  OMG, that is almost all you can say about this book.  I don't want to give too much away but you won't be able to put this down and you are going to have extreme conflicting emotions by the end of the book.
10. World of Pies- Karen Stolz-  This book is the story of a girl's life set in the 60's.  Each chapter tells of the summers of her life and you get to grow up with this girl.  It is a great book to read and re-read.
11. By The Time You Read This- Lola Jaye-  This book is so sweet, it is about a "guide to life" that a girl's father writes for her before he passes away.  He writes basically a life handbook for his daughter so that he can help her even in death.
I hope you take the time to check all these books out.  I absolutely loved them all.  Also, don't wimp out and just watch the movies.  Movies never give books justice.(:

Love 146- Please help!

 
Love 146 is a non-profit organization that is trying to prevent child trafficking in third-world countries.  Soon, I will be selling string bracelets (hopefully at school) that will cost $2.00.  All the money I raise is going to go towards Love 146.  
 
I also have a website that is linked up above where you can go and donate as much money as you would like.
There is also more information on the organization at that website.
