	I think Michael Cunningham's The Hours should be required reading in school. —Marla, Editor In Chief
	I really love  Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. The story is so whimsical and real at the same time. —Steph, Art Director
	The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It's such a simple yet powerful story that will inspire you to reach for your dreams. —Angel, Managing Editor
	I just finished reading Paper Towns—I know, so late to the party, right? But I think the timing was perfect. I particularly like this exchange: "Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will." "But then again, if you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all." —Dyan, Entertainment and Features Editor
	The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath —Ning, Fashion and Beauty Assistant
	Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson reminds us of what the power of a little adventure, a killer playlist, and meeting new people can bring. —Bianca, Fashion and Beauty Assistant
	I can read Alan Lightman's Einstein's Dreams over and over again. I suggest you read it even just once! —Macy, Web Managing Editor
	How To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It's taught me a lot about life and growing up, and I think anyone who reads it will surely gain something from it. —Erin, Associate Web and Fashion Editor
	David Levithan's Love Is the Higher Law for all the right ~*feels*~. It's also a beautiful reminder of how great the power of love is even and especially during trying times. :) —Ayessa, Web Editorial Assistant
