The Teen Readers Society’s mission is to campaign for ‘reading for pleasure’ as an essential facet of a teenager’s personal development. Our goal is to reverse declining reading rates among teenagers by promoting regular reading behavior through a teen’s social network. These channels will act as a bridge between the established mantra of the benefits of reading and the serendipitous magic of discovering a story.

When fighting environmental issues, we tend to tur

When fighting environmental issues, we tend to turn to "alternative products" or create courses of action that attempt to fight these issues head-on. However, that type of productivity benefits capitalism and can hurt the environment even more. We value time and productivity, but fail to realize the importance of doing nothing. "How to Do Nothing" opens up a new perspective by inviting us to resist hustle culture, find our own value in smaller things, which then, can elicit the most profound change. Doing nothing allows us to engage with what’s happening around us, particularly our environment. In honor of Earth Day, take a break to step outside and appreciate the environment and everything around you.

Winner of a long list of prestigious awards, inclu

Winner of a long list of prestigious awards, including the Booker Prize in 2019, Girl, Woman, Other by British author, Bernardine Evaristo is one of the most exceptional contemporary novels. The book is virtually about everything life is about – love, friendship, family, sexuality, racism, politics, betrayal, otherness and more - all explored with infinite wisdom and wit. The writing is spectacular and unlike anything else. It fuses poetry and prose and reading it is pure pleasure.

This is Ms. Evaristo’s eighth book and she is the first Black woman and the first Black British person to win the Booker Prize.

“The most important thing for the morphine – hij

“The most important thing for the morphine - hijacked brain is, always, not to experience the crushing physical and psychological pain of withdrawal: to avoid dope sickness at any cost.”- Beth Macy, Dopesick.

Journalist Beth Macy combines personal accounts with facts and figures to give the reader a full understanding of the opioid crisis in America. By focusing on the individuals fighting back against the epidemic, Macy provides hope for a story that can often be full of despair. This account is told from all angles: law enforcement, health care providers, drug users, drug suppliers, families, and communities caught in the crossfire.

Recently I finished Lore by Alexandra Bracken. This YA fantasy follows protagonist Melora “Lore” Perseous and her experience in the Agon, an event that happens every seven years in which Greek gods walk the earth as mortals who are able to kill them and take their power. During the Agon, Lore is forced to bind her life to the Goddess Athena and join the hunt to stop the rise of a new and tyrannical god from seizing power. This book is perfect for those who are a fan of Greek mythology or YA fantasy and is a fun read for the summer.
