BOOKS

If you're anything like the Girls' Life staff, you've probably been reading a lot recently, and maybe the classics are calling your name. Many people have a "Book Bucket List"—those titles that you want to read someday. Well, why not start now? Here are five classics that you can easily dive into today. Happy reading, readers! 

Little Women

Start widening your literary horizons with this timeless story of four sisters growing together while taking their individual paths to womanhood. Then you can reward yourself by watching the recent heartwarming movie adaptation (many cable providers have it available for rent right now!).

To Kill a Mockingbird 

You may have heard many references to this story when watching some of your fave TV shows or movies, but if you haven't had the chance to actually pick it up, we highly recommend it. If you were a fan of The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas, this tale of battling prejudice and injustice will definitely strike a chord.

The Giver

The Giver will give you the chance to view the world with a fresh set of eyes, eyes that can't see color. Lois Lowry will teach you the importance of going against the grain of society and the power of the truth all through the point of view of 12-year-old Jonas.

Anne of Green Gables 

You won't be able to resist the charm of Anne, a red-headed orphan looking for a family and a place to call home. This is another "read it before you see it" option, with the Netflix original series Anne with an E streaming now.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe 

For all the fantasy lovers, this classic was made for you. The first installment of the Chronicles of Narnia will give you an exciting escape into a world of mythical creatures, evil queens, friendship and sacrifice.
