Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

"Most romantic novel for me is Brontë's Jane Eyre. The chemistry between Jane and Rochester is electric, and so sweet."

Signet

One Day by David Nicholls

"It's heartbreaking, hilarious, and beautifully written. Having someone think of you as they read it would be a very good thing."

—Lisa Z Warren, Facebook

Vintage

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

"It's a love story that builds slowly and realistically. It's also a very truthful look at modern sexuality but done in a casual way and that's really friggin' cool to me. Plus, there are wizards."

J.K. Rowling Has Some Important Advice For Gryffindors With Anxiety

“Being anxious isn’t who you are, it’s something you’re feeling.”

In case you weren't aware, J.K. Rowling is probably the loveliest human being on the planet. Just a few days ago, she helped a fan with depression in the most perfect possible way.

So, of course, when another fan turned to her for advice regarding her anxiety, J.K. responded immediately.

"I'm a Gryffindor but my anxiety keeps me from being a true Gryffindor a lot recently," the fan wrote. "Am I still a Gryffindor despite that?"

And J.K.'s response was almost as wise as Dumbledore's would be.

Since she tweeted, other Potter fans have been using the hashtag #GryffindorStrong to share their own stories.
