10 Good Summer Reads For Young Women

Us bookworms must stick together!

All throughout my life I've been a reader; the summer is the best and most convenient time for young women to dive into books. I for one, am a sucker for romance novels and thrillers. Heres a list of titles that I can promise no woman could dislike. Warning, the descriptions are vague, but it's only because I can't give away too much

1. "Water For Elephants"

This book by Sara Gruen later became a movie starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon but I'd say that the book was a hundred times better. Gruen has a way of pulling in her readers with the love story of a runaway Cornell student and a carnival performer.

2. "Crossfire" Series

These books are absolutely breathtaking and by far one of the best series I've ever read. Gideon Cross is a billion dollar man who swears he will never fall in love, until Eva Tramell comes along. A fifth book to the series One With You was just released and is just as amazing.

3. "Rush" Series

These three romance novels are connected together through the three brothers who they're about. Each novel is about how each of the three brothers found their perfect match, although all three of them have some heavy baggage. This particular series is very explicit, but its for sure a page turner.

4. "Blood-law" Trilogy

The Blood Law trilogy is strictly fiction, so if you're not into Fantasy then this series might not be for you. But, I can promise that if you give it a try that you'll love it. This series by Karin Tabke is both extremely thrilling as it is heart pulling about two brothers who are also half Lycan wolves fight over the same human girl. They're not the only ones who are after Falon, but for reasons that you'll have to read about...

5. "Hopeless" Series

THIS TRILOGY- IS SO AMAZING. Honestly, I've never had books that made me want to turn the pages so fast. The romance story is so twisted but Colleen Hoover has a way with words and will have you crying just a few chapters in.

6. "Fifty Shades" Series

Theres not much I need to say about these, they're pretty well known and everyone has their own opinions on them- but I enjoyed reading them. Also, the book Grey in Christian's point of view wasn't a bad read, either.

7. The "Titrone" Trilogy

Again, another Fantasy/ Very Fiction series. A love story (I told you I liked romance novels) about a merman named Reed, king of the ocean, who falls for a human woman but their worlds conflict and it makes for a great series.

8. "Pulled Under" Series

This book is a little younger-aged based but still a good beach read.

9. "Thoughtless" Trilogy

This particular series is one I just finished and is my favorite of all time, I've never had books that made me so emotional in my whole entire life. Seriously, don't read these in public. S.C. Stephens describes betrayal, lust, love and life so beautifully throughout these novels and never missed a beat when it came to keeping things interesting. You never find out everything in one chapter so you must continue- and its worth it.

10. "Milk And Honey"

I actually haven't read this one yet, but recommended by my best friend to read. I included it in here because I've seen snippets of some of the poems that are inside, and all it looks pretty promising.

A lot of these novels have the same theme going for them but all of the authors have such different writing techniques but pulled me in all the same. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
