5 Books To Keep You On The Edge Of Your Seat During Winter Break
Food Tank

Now that you are home from school, finally done with finals, it's time to relax and recuperate on break.

While home, you're going to need something to do with all of your free time. There's nothing better than sitting down with a book and cuddling up next to the fire.

It's one of my favorite winter break activities. Most people who know me know that I have a passion for reading. I love books that grab you and draw you in all the way to the end.

So, if you're looking for a page-turner and something to keep you entertained and up all night, dive into a book below. The following are five books that you should consider:

1. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

Oh, my goodness! OK, so another goodie by Colleen Hoover. My recent fav, the book will have you debating and feeling torn all the way until the last page. Do you love Ryle? Or do you love Atlas? What's a girl to do? The book covers some intense topics, but it really shows how sometimes people fall in love with those who hurt them. The book was really eye-opening.

2. The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

I actually just sat in my bed and yelled out loud as I read Lapena's book. I was physically shook. Do yourself a favor and order it right now, It was so twisted and full of turns, and I had no idea what I was in store for. It was honestly shocking and just when you have it figured out, you're smacked right in the face with another twist. Amazing and such a page-turner!

3. The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window by Kirsty Moseley

If you're in the market for the sweet, typical love story, then Moseley's book is it. The book is one of my favorites. It's a love story, but it also gets way more intense and deep. It's a great read. While the book does have an undertone of darkness, it's a love story that you will adore. It has the lust, the love and the friendship. It's super cute.

4. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

OK, so kind of a throwback. I read it a while ago, but so many people haven't read it. The book is insane. My jaw hit the floor like 20 times while reading it. The book will have you feeling a whole bunch of emotions and it will consume your thoughts. Honestly, it is still one of my favorites.

5. A Stranger In The House by Shari Lapena

Another one of my recent reads, the book also satisfies a craving for a twisty, crazy read. The suspense will have you turning the pages faster and faster. Tom and Karen seem like they have the picture-perfect life, but trust me that they do not. Just you wait.

So go on, order the books and get reading!

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.
