3 New Releases To Add To Your 2021 Reading List

There's nothing quite like snuggling up with a good book, especially during quarantine when we're all inside with nowhere else to go but the fictional worlds found within the worn pages of a novel. Books are an escape, but more than that, they're an experience. As someone who's always loved reading for these reasons and many more, I always find myself looking forward to upcoming releases for something new to sink my teeth into. From what I've seen, 2021 has a promising lineup of books on the horizon, so here are a few to keep your eye on!

1. "A Marvellous Light" by Freya Marske

A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding, #1)

www.goodreads.com

This debut novel from writer Freya Marske takes place in Edwardian England and follows Robin Blythe as he stumbles into a magical society unlike anything he's ever known that's been lurking under his nose all along. Alongside the cold and judgmental Edwin, Robin must unravel a mystery that could very well have grim consequences. As someone who loves period pieces with a fantasy twist, I can't wait to explore this new world with Robin throughout his adventure.

2. "Summers Sons" by Lee Mandelo

Summer Sons

www.goodreads.com

Lee Mandelo's up-and-coming Southern gothic tale depicts the aftermath of a broken friendship as protagonist Andrew grapples with his best friend Eddie's apparent suicide. His quest to uncover the truth behind the death reveals a trail of deceit and secrecy that will change him and his perception of Eddie forever. This novel sounds as captivating as it does soul-shattering, and I'm more than ready for the emotional wringer it is sure to put me through.

3. "The Chosen and the Beautiful" by Nghi Vo

The Chosen and the Beautiful

www.goodreads.com

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" has been my favorite book for quite some time, so this gorgeous retelling has been a must-read for me from the moment I first caught wind of it. Told from the perspective of a reimagined Jordan Baker, this novel is set to follow her as she takes on a world of magic and intrigue amidst the familiar setting of the Roaring Twenties. I, for one, could not be more excited to see the backdrop of "The Great Gatsby" rebuilt from the ground up from this fresh new perspective.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
