Get your hands on these books ASAP to start your fall off with some great reads.

1. "The Couple Next Door" by Shari Lapena

I love to predict the way a book is going to turn out and then seeing if any of my predictions are correct. "The Couple Next Door" makes guessing correctly impossible. With a new twist every few chapters, you can't possibly guess what might happen next.

2. "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule

For the lover of true crime! Ted Bundy is infamous, his name is recognized by everyone but Ann Rule is able to give a unique view on this well-known story. Rule considered herself a friend of Bundy, the story of his horrific crimes shocked her, and the little pieces of his personal life she is able to add kept me turning the pages and wishing for more.

3. "Behind Closed Doors" by B.A. Paris

Trust me, read this when the sun is shining. The storyline made my skin crawl and the depravity of the antagonist left me convinced you can never fully know someone.

4. "The Wife Between Us" by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

I thought I understood the storyline, I was convinced I had it all figured out, I was wrong. The story kept me on my toes, I couldn't devour it quickly enough. The second I finished the last page, I began looking for more books by these authors.

5. "The Need" by Helen Phillips

A story like you have never read before. The unique premise kept my interest from start to finish. Phillips was able to elicit emotions that I was unaware existed in me.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
