Summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to put away your Summer reading list! In fact, I've got a couple books for you to put on your back-to-school reading list! Don’t worry, though, you won’t be tested on reading comprehension or anything like that... unless your teacher or professor is flippin’ awesome!

 

Let me explain…

 

The books on my reading list are written by some of my favorite YouTubers! I know, right?! These very talented stars not only make great, entertaining video content but they've also written some incredibly entertaining books as well!

 

SHANE DAWSON

I Hate Myselfie: A Collection of Essays

This book documents the life of Shane Dawson growing up in Long Beach and the trials he faced as a child, teen, and young adult, letting his fans see how he became the Shane we all love today! If you watch Shane’s videos, then you know that his life has not always been rainbows and puppies. This book allows you to really get to know Shane and what he’s gone through, and maybe help you deal with your own issues and rise above it too. Shane also has second book called It Gets Worse: A Collection of Essays.
