This blog is primarily about reading, reviewing, and recommending good book but when I read a new post titled "TWLOHA" on Haley's blog , The Life (and Lies) of an Inanimate Flying Object. Being a Youth Counselor supporting resilience in youth is one of the most important aspects of my field. TWLOHA is an acronym for a nonprofit organization called, To Write Love On Her Arms, which supports and reaches out to depressed, self abusing, and suicidal teenagers. TWLOHA day is every February 13th at which time people are invited to write something inspirational and creative on their arms and when asked about it they can explain that they did it in support of the organization and for teenagers who need help. I haven't written anything today on my arm however, a few years ago I tattooed something on my arm that is inspirational, creative, and has a message that is supportive for myself and others. I went through some of my own things growing up and as a reminder I tattooed, "Have Faith" in elvish writing (J.R.R. Tolken's elvish writing). It is a reminder to "have faith" that things will get better.

First post by yours truly!
My love of reading has created a desire in me to share with friends, family, and strangers in Chapters, all the books I have come to love. The genres of books i love to read include, Fiction, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Fiction, Sci-Fi, Romance, and Horror, both adult and young adult. I can't tell you what my favorite book is because I love so many. For the most part I will not be recommending treasured classics such as Wurthering Heights or Moby Dick, however, if you want a book to curl up with on a rainy day, to hide under the covers and read by flashlight, or to relax in a hammock with pina colada I have a few recommendations for you!
On a final note I give you fair warning that despite the massive amount of books I consume on a monthly basis my grammar and spelling leave a whole lot to be desired. Please ignore my mistakes or better yet get a good laugh out of them.
I hope you enjoy browsing the online version of my bookshelf. With so many wonderful books to post about it may take awhile to get my blog up to date so I do hope you'll check back frequently!
Happy Reading,
Lindsey (The Book Guru)
