As a creative writing minor, I have always been a big fan of reading. Now that the school year is starting up again, I know many people will want to make new resolutions. If you want to get into reading, here are 5 books you should consider.
1. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
If you have or haven't seen the new Johnny Depp movie, Murder on the Orient Express, you're missing out. After seeing it, I purchased the book and it is honestly amazing. Definitely worth the read.
2. Red Rain by R.L. Stine
We all remember reading the Goosebumps series when we were kids and now that we're grown up, we can have an excuse to go back to our roots with this R.L. Stine adult novel. It'll take you back to the good ol' days.
3. Troublemaker by Leah Remini
This autobiography is incredibly interesting and informative. I learned so much about the world of Scientology and Leah Remini is hilarious.
4. The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff
I read this book a while back and it really opened my eyes to the world of a transgendered person and the effects that transitioning has on them and the people around them. A very interesting read.
5. Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard
If you really want to commit to a series, I've got the book for you. Pretty Little Liars is 16 books that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I will admit that they get a little crazy and irrational, but it is still a great series and an easy/light read.
These are books that I found are the most capable of transporting the reader to another world. If you aren't a bookworm like me, these books will still keep you interested and wanted more.
