What book(s) are you reading right now?
I am currently reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

A book that changed your life, and why.
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. This book has impacted thousands of people positively, and I've become one of them. I never believed in self-help books until I read this one. Although a lot of the concepts talked about in this book aren't new, it has been a medium for reaffirming my positive thoughts, energy and knowing that there is indeed light at the end of every tunnel. The Secret manages to breathe life into my day. It has renewed me and taught me that I'm an architect of my own happiness.

Name one underrated book, and why you'd recommend it.
Underrated book. I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. Compelling and beautifully written, Nelson has highlighted several important topics in this novel.

Your favourite literary character, and why.
Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird mainly because of his strength and how rooted he is in his beliefs. I admire his parenting style and the fact that he treated all his children equally. He also taught his children not discriminate based on skin      colour or socioeconomic status. He is a an individual who lets his actions speak louder than his words.

A book quote that really stood out and what it means to you.
Scout Finch's words from To Kill a Mockingbird really stand out: "It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived." I love how Atticus has been highlighted as the bravest man because he fought for what was right. I love the simplicity of the idea behind this quote which indicates that you can be brave just by doing what is right and positively impact a person or society.
