Everyone is obsessed with what show to watch next on Netflix or Hulu. Well, when you can't seem to find a movie that you're really feeling, or when you've binged all the shows you can binge, why not try reading a book? Here is a list of amazing book series and stand alones that will be a refreshing change to your entertainment.

1. "The Magicians" Series by Lev Grossman

"The Magicians" is like a mix of "Harry Potter" and "Narnia." It has magic, adventure, excitement, and a lot of drama, and if you liked "Harry Potter" or "Narnia" then you'll obviously love this trilogy.

2. The "A Song of Ice and Fire" Series by George R.R. Martin

Everyone has heard of the show, but fewer people have read the books. Take the dive and immerse yourself into the world of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series in book form.

3. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany

"Harry Potter" is extremely popular in its book and movie forms, and as some may know another installment of the story has just been released. The book is actually a script of a play now being performed in England.

4. "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer

The "Twilight" author Stephanie Meyer also wrote this fascinating sci-fi/fantasy novel called "The Host." It also has a movie version, but to really feel connected to the characters and fall in love with the story the book is the way to go.

5. "The Fallen" Series by Thomas E. Sniegoski

This series is about the children of fallen angels and their mission to protect the Earth while being hunted down themselves. It's a great combination of fantasy and a little religion.

6. The "Witch and Wizard" Series by James Patterson

If you've read the "Maximum Ride" series then you'll love this series from the same author about a brother and sister in a dystopian America who find out they're actually a witch and a wizard.

7. "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes

If the recent movie version of this novel brought you to tears then go ahead and cause yourself some more emotional pain by reading the book and its sequel.

8. "Life and Death" by Stephanie Meyer

"Life and Death" is a gender-swapped version of "Twilight." If you already love "Twilight" then you'll love reading this version that Stephanie Meyer wrote for the anniversary of the first book's release.

9. "The Secret Circle" Series by L.J. Smith

From the same author that wrote "The Vampire Diaries" comes "The Secret Circle," a series about a group of teen witches and all the trouble they get into.

10. The "His Dark Materials" Series by Philip Pullman

This fantasy series is about an alternate dimension where people's souls walk beside them in the form of animals called daemons. It follows a young girl named Lyra and her daemon named Pan and their many adventures including the search for Lyra's true origins.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
