12 Series To Get Hooked On

I'm not talking about Netflix, I'm talking about books.

12 Series To Get Hooked On

With extra time around the holidays, and the colder weather making excuses to stay in, a new book series may sound more appealing than a standalone book, either way, I've got you covered. Last week I shared my 12 Standalone Must Reads that are great to get you through a series burnout. Now I have 12 new series for you to get hooked on after you've recovered with one or two of the standalones. Warning: these series are highly addictive and you won't be able to stop once you start one.

1. The Wolves of Mercy Falls

I'm not a big fan of werewolves or fantasy, but I fell for this book very quickly. Sam is such an intriguing, mysterious character who quickly became my favorite.

2. The Mortal Instruments

As I said before, I've never been a huge fan of fantasy books but this series was one of the first exceptions. Again, the main characters are very addicting. Even though the books are all nearly 500 pages or more, I got through the entire series faster than many others. The movie and the T.V. show leave some key parts out (meaning you need to read the book first), but I still love them all.

3. Delirium


A dystopia about challenging societal norms.

4. Matched

A dystopia about challenging societal norms. Similar yet completely different from Delirium, you will have no regrets reading both.

5. The Iron Fey

I went through a fantasy kick in middle school and this was one of those series. For some reason I was quickly hooked on it, rooting for a love in the love triangle as soon as it appeared. Its unique world and twist on faeries makes it all the more interesting. I would read the entire series all over again and not get bored.

6. The Grisha

The world of this book is something completely new and a bit confusing at first, but easy to catch on.

7. Jasper Dent

A serial killer father and a new killer on the loose. The ideal series for someone who likes violence and mystery.

8. The Lunar Chronicles

A science fiction twist on the classical princess stories. Fascinating and even more so once the stories start to connect...

9. Reckoners

If you like si-fi, this book is for you. It's a dystopia about a society where only some people have powers and they rule the world, but not everyone is okay with that...

10. The 5th Wave

They did an okay job with this movie, but the book is definitely better.

11. Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children

I hope they made the movie as good as this book. It's peculiar for sure, but interesting enough to get you hooked.

12. The Naturals

Logic, love triangle, and plot twist. Leaves you on the edge of your seat until the very end then begging for more. As soon as I finished the first one, I drove straight to the library for the second. If I had to choose a favorite series, this would be it, and it's not easy for me to choose favorites.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
