Links + Loves feat. My Favourite Books + a Giveaway!

I have been a reader forever! Since I can remember, I have been obsessed with picking up a good book. The past few years. I haven't been as actively reading, however, I thought that I would share my three favourite books right now!

The Rosie Project: I loved The Rosie Project and it's sequel, The Rosie Effect! It's an easy-to-read novel about a man named Don Tillman who is searching for "the one" using scientific experiments to find an appropriate soulmate. Both books had me busting a gut laughing the entire time.

Nineteen Minutes: I remember first reading this book when I was driving back from Florida when I was sixteen. I read it in the stretch from Florida to Tennessee and I simply could not put it down. Since then, I have read it at least a dozen times again. It's by the same author as My Sister's Keeper, but it's about a seventeen-year-old who shoots and kills nine of his fellow classmates, as well as a teacher. It reminds me a lot of the story behind the Columbine Massacre, however, the shooter does survive and it looks more at the psychological aspects as to why he did it. It's definitely an interesting but intense read. I love this book and could probably read it hundreds of times!

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns): I won't lie, I'm not much of an autobiography reader, especially celebrities. I find myself getting easily bored when I'm reading a celebrity's rags-to-riches story. However, both of Kaling's books made me split a gut laughing, have a lot of self-realization and reflection. Contrary to the belief of several, I personally prefer Mindy's first book over Why Not Me. There's just something about it! I have read both books several times, have yet to get sick of them and still laugh every time I read them. They're definitely books I recommend everyone pick up.

... and now, for the giveaway!
