6 Book Recommendations For The End Of The Year
Alyssa Gasa

In This Article:

We have about 3 months left in 2018. Although these are the busiest months in the school year, I am setting myself a goal to read about two books per month. These means from now until the end of December I will try to finish 6 more books. While to some this is nothing, to me I find it extremely difficult to find enough time in the day to schedule in extra reading time. Below are my recommended books that I will be reading for the rest of 2018!

1. "Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire" by J.K. Rowling 

A classic fall staple, you can't go wrong with Harry Potter. Currently, I am re-reading the fourth book in the seven part series. Choose to start them again or open your world to something new, these books are set during the fall time and will give you all the autumnal spooky vibes you need.

2. "Sleeping Murder" by Agatha Christie 

For the second book of October I wanted something a little smaller after finishing the Harry Potter. For this, the perfect book to read around Halloween is a murder mystery! Agatha Christie is the queen of murder mysteries and suspense so truly any novel by her you will find intriguing.

3. "the sun and her flowers" by Rupi Kaur 

To start off November, I choose to do something different by going with a poem book. This is a sister book to the Milk and Honey poems. If you want a dark, heartfelt, quick, and impactful read, look into these books! You can finish them in a night or spend a few days soaking in the words but either way you don't want to miss her words.

4. "The Secret Place" by Tana French 

For my second novel of November, I choose to go with a novel that was a dark and twisted tale. This book follows a detective and the murder of a boy in a boarding school. While trying to find uncover who murdered him and why, they are led down a confusing path of lies and secrets.

5. "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert 

For December, I choose a book to bring out some inner motivation and self reflection. Although I have seen the movie, in most cases the books are better and more insightful than the movie productions. This is one I am really looking forwards to starting.

6. "You Are A Badass" by Jen Sincero

To end the year off on a good note I choose a "self-help" book that has really gained popularity. This book gives a sassy and inspirational guide to change your life in all the right areas and for all the right reasons to better love your life and the decisions you make in it.

Take these recommendations and make them your own! Find some inspiration to make that extra bit if time to challenge yourself to read something out of your comfort zone or that you have been desperately trying to read.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
