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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
