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.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
