Hello! I've decided to do a book recondmentdation once a month, on the last day of the month, so here goes! First I'll put all the important information(title, author, back of book), then some quotes, and then, if I can find it, some fan art for those who had finished it!

As for who would feel comfortable reading this, there is some maturity in it and it touches the topic of homosexuality, so keep that in mind before you read it. (I feel like I'll be saying this about some other books too xD)

Title: Every Day

Author: David Levithan

Back of book:
I wake up.
Immediately, I have to figure out who I am. It's not just the body-opening my eyes and discovering whether my skin on my arm is light or dark, whether my hair is long or short, whether I'm fat or thin, boy or girl, scarred or smooth. The body is the easiest thing to adjust to, if you're used to waking up in a new one each morning. It's the life, the context of the body, that can be hard to grasp.
Every day I am someone else. I am myself-I know I am myself- but I am also someone else.
It has always been like that.

Cover:

Why I like it so much: Every Day is very, very well written, and has opened my eyes to many problems like depression, obesity, and giving more reasons why homosexuality is not a bad thing. As "A" goes from body to body, they have to learn how to live with the body and it's context, and has, by the start of the book, learned not to get attached to anyone or anything. Then "A" meets Rhiannon, a girl with cities on her shoes and a love of the ocean, and that rule is harder to break than ever.

Quotes:
“If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: We all want everything to be okay. We don't even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay, because most of the time, okay is enough.”

“There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.”

“I want love to conquer all. But love can't conquer anything. It can't do anything on it's own. It relies on us to do the conquering on its behalf.”

“It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored.”

“If you stare at the center of the universe, there is coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately, the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care about each other.”

“It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason.”

“I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else. I will never feel the pressure of peers or the burden of parental expectation. I can view everyone as pieces of a whole, and focus on the whole, not the pieces. I have learned to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present because that is where I am destined to live.”

Some fanart!! (though there is not much, sadly...)

:thumb440795235: Just A Little More GoneYou say that you love me
And you will never go away
But I’m just a little more gone
Than I was yesterday

Everyday you kiss me
And I think of things I might say
But I’m just a little more gone
Than I was yesterday

You know something is off
And you ask if I’m ok
But I’m a little more gone
Than I was yesterday

I can’t sleep no more
So in the darkness I lay
I’m a little more gone
Than I was yesterday

The warmest sunrise I’ve ever seen
Was with you in the bay
But I’m a little more gone
Than I was yesterday

I don’t know if I’ll ever come back
I maybe just may
But, for now, I’m j
