1.Hidden Figuresby Margot Lee Shetterly

Recently went and saw the movie and thought it was amazing! Would go and see it again easily, so now I am eager to read the book.

2. Black Chalk by Christopher J. Yates

This book is a psychological thriller about 6 best friends that start something their first year at Oxford, then 14 years later come back together to finish what they started. When I saw this book at Barnes and Noble and read just the first sentence on what it was about, I was instantly intrigued to read it.

3. You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

Yes this is a self-help book, but a friend of mine read this and recommended it. From what I saw it had some really awesome quotes and tips in it.

4. The Champion’s Mind by Dr. Jim Afremow

I learned about this book from a friend of mine on the Shocker Bowling team and it looks like and amazing read. I just recently started reading it and so far it is pretty good. I would recommend it to anyone.

5. The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer

This book is by Stephenie Meyer who wrote the Twilight Series and The Host. I’m excited to see what she is up to now with this book.

6. Talking As fast As I Can by Lauren Graham

A book by Lauren Graham will always make my reading list. I love Gilmore Girls, especially Lorelai. In Graham’s book she talks about Gilmore Girls so I am excited to see what she has to say.

7. A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

I have seen the previews for the movie adaption of this book and they look pretty good. My rule is to not read the book until after I see the movie so I am not disappointed when I see the movie if they didn’t do the greatest job at adapting the book.

8. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

I have yet to see this movie, waiting for it to come out on DVD. However, the previews looked amazing and I love books that are psychological thrillers, making it a must have on my reading list.

9. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

I read To Kill a Mockingbird in school and loved it, one of the few books in school that I actually enjoyed reading. When I saw that this book had come out I was definitely intrigued to find out what the future had in store for the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird.

10. My Fight Your Fight by Ronda Rousey

Ok, I have already read this book, but I had to add it to my list because of how great it was. I do not watch UFC fighting, but this book was another recommendation from my friend on the Shocker Bowling team. It’s a great read and definitely had some good tips and stories in it for any athlete.
