Seven Of The Best Books To Cuddle Up With This Christmas Break

Finally, we have gotten a break from the heat here in East Carolina, and if you are anything like me, you are craving a cozy day in with some cocoa and easy entertainment. Once finals are over, I know I will want to set up a hot date with a good book. Here are some of my favorites, and some that I plan on reading for the first time!

1. The Scarlet Letter

I read this book in high school and it is definitely my favorite book. This classic is so beautifully written with such an incredible story.

2. The 5th Wave

Wow. I read this book back when the movie was about to come out, and like always, the book was way better than the movie. So, even if you have seen the movie, I definitely recommend the book!

3. The Matched Series

I ready these books in high school, and I was so entertained by the story that I could not put it down. I would love it if they created this into a movie.

4. The Virginian

I have not heard of this book since reading it in high school, but it is absolutely one of the best love stories ever told. I remember gushing about the romance with my best friends during class.

5. Between Shades of Gray

Note: Not the same thing as 50 Shades of Grey. My roommate actually recommended this book since it is her favorite, so I plan on cracking it open during this Christmas break.

6. The Hiding Place

My mom and I read this book together a while ago and, it being a true story, I was hooked.

7. To Kill A Mockingbird

What a classic! You have probably heard of, if not read, this book before, but I think it is a must-read for everyone.

I know that as soon as I finish my last final and drive home, I will be rushing to grab one of these reads with a cup of tea or cocoa. Now, let's all just finish the semester strong so that we can actually enjoy our breaks. Good luck!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
