5 Book Recommendations Based Off Your Last Netflix Binge

Feeling like nothing can fill the void in your heart after finishing the last season of your favorite show? Try checking some new reading material! Not to sound too much like your lecturing grandpa, but books were totally the top source of entertainment for centuries before people had cable. And a lot of the time, the drama and humor in a good novel can be just as captivating as your most recent Netflix binge. Here's a list of book recommendations based on TV shows.

1. If you loved "How To Get Away With Murder"...

...You should read "The Secret History" by Donna Tart

If you’re a fan of all the thrilling twists and shady characters in Shonda Rimes’ hugely popular crime drama, check out The Secret History. In this debut novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Donna Tartt, a group of mythology students explore the complicated circumstances behind why they murdered one of their closest friends.

2. If you loved "Supernatural"...

...You should read "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

If you love watching the snappy dialogue and modern interpretations of demons and angels in Supernatural, you have to read this hilarious book co-written by two of literatures most beloved sci-fi legends. Good Omens describes the ridiculous adventures of centuries old demon and angel who team up to stop the Apocalypse after they accidentally “misplace” the Antichrist.

3. If you loved "Gilmore Girls"...


...You should read "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple

Although the mother daughter duo in Where’d You, Go Bernadette may be much more dysfunctional than Lorelai and Rory, the bond between the women is just as strong and unique as our favorite Gilmores and the novel is totally worth a read!

4. If you loved "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"...

...You should read the "Vampire Academy" Series by Richelle Mead

Other than the obvious similarity of starring a snarky, vampire-hunting protagonist, Vampire Academyapproaches sensitive teen issues with the same intense realism as Buffy while also using the same witty and campy approach to describing a world full of supernatural creatures.

5. If you loved "Gossip Girl"...

...You should read "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Truman Capote

Let’s just say there’s a reason why Breakfast at Tiffany’s was Blair Waldorf’s favorite movie. Holly Golightly was definitely the original Upper East Side socialite, and the secrets surrounding her mysterious past would not be out of place in one of Gossip Girl’s famous text blasts.

So next time nothing on your Netflix recommendations is grabbing your attention, try heading down to the library and getting lost in a story the old-fashioned way!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
