We've all had those moments. Sometimes we know exactly what's put us off to the wrong side of the wrong day. Somethings we just don't. But, either way, I seem to stick to a couple of trusted pick-me ups: Read Something. Go Somewhere. Watch Something. Eat Something. Talk To Someone. What I read, where I go, and all those specific details vary from time to time, and from person to person. Here's my list:



Read: Whenever Im feeling down, thrillers, mysteries, tragedies, and "gotta-think-hard" novels are out of the question. Instead, I enjoy reading light-hearted, and incredibly funny texts that revolve around a simple yet intriguing plot.

Wintertown by Stephen Emond: A feel good book thats more than just your typical teen romance YA novel and at the same time, a little less fantastical and more realistic. This book successfully relies on lovable characters, endearing dialogue, funny comic strips (You heard me right! There a comic strip after every chapter!), and an innovative take on POV. Wintertown in its entirety is an incredibly satisfying read.

Fishbowl by Bradley Somer: To be honest, I bought this one purely based on the cover BUTTT... It is an impeccably written book with just the right eloquence as to make you feel really smart as a reader. Fishbowl revolves around an array of characters that are ALL remarkable as they live their lives in their apartment. With each chapter telling a different experience of a different character, its hard to get bored while reading this novel. Seeing each character's days and personality unfold is an absolute delight.

Comic Strips from the archives of Harkavagrant.com: Perfect for people who don't like reading long texts! The comic strips are perfectly illustrated and deliver clever humor.
