My Top 5 Favorite Books

In This Article:

This is going to be a list of a few books that I will always enjoy. Some books are commonly known and others not so much. I will summarize those that may not be known for my fellow reading friends.

SHERLOCK HOLMES By: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Giphy

Of course, my ultimate favorite series of books would be Sherlock Holmes. I have always had a passion for mystery books hence my love for Sherlock and Scooby-Doo. Most of Sherlock Holmes consists of shorter stories and some lengthy ones. I don't have a specific favorite short story of Sherlock Holmes because I love so many of them. It just amazes me how Sherlock Holmes' mind is so complex and how he uses that to solve these murders or missing person cases.

THE BROTHERS GRIMM - Complete Series

Giphy

For those who may not know, The Brothers Grimm is a set of different folklore or fairy-tail short stories. Many of these stories are the precursors of the Disney take on fairy-tails. It was so weird seeing the difference between Disney and Brothers Grimm.

"The Poisonwood Bible" By: Barbara Kingsolver

Giphy

The Poisonwood Bible is about a missionary family that goes to a remote part of Africa to urge the locals to convert to Christianity. However, there are many issues that arise along the way. Different deaths, fighting, and insanity. Reading this book showed an interesting take on what happens when locals aren't too keen on converting to a new religion.

"Relic" By: Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

Giphy

"Relic" is a book about a mysterious relic that was brought to the museum. With that relic came a terrifying monster who ran throughout the museum-goers and workers. You see the story progress with the researcher Margo when she tries to discover the monster and stop the killings. Me being a museum lover, this book was an automatic love.

"11/22/63" By: Stephen King

Giphy

"11/22/63" is a time-traveling adventure of Jake, a high school teacher. Jake was approached by old Janitor who offered him the adventure of a lifetime. However, that adventure had a request come with it. The request for saving John F. Kennedy. This book was a different take on what Stephen King usually writes about and it was interesting to see the different writing style that was in the story.

There are plenty more books that I would have written about, but my list would be around 200 and I don't believe you guys would want to sit here and read about it. However, these five books will always be my favorite and will always love to reread them when I have the time.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
