What Your Favorite 2000's Book Says About You
Let's be real, the 2000s were a crazy time in all of our lives, filled with razor scooters, The Backstreet Boys, and MySpace. But we also had some totally coolio reads! From the rising popularity of Harry Potter to the emerging sphere of YA fiction, the 2000s gave us some amazing books.
Remember all those stories of magic we used to read? And don't forget books full of secret identities and hidden worlds. Think of the days you used to spend tucking them into your backpack, hiding them under your desk, and wiling away the afternoon turning page after page.
We became who we are through these books. They helped us figure out what we were made of and what we wanted out of life. They were our comfort, our companions, and the fire that pushed us forward. If you're my age, these were the books that kept us safe during middle school and early high school, a time when things in the real world always felt uncertain.
