Books to Read Over Break
booksforkeeps.org

As we are approaching Christmas break, there are many days that go by with nothing to do. After I have finished watching my Netflix series or I am already sick of my family, there is one thing that keeps me sane. I will lie in bed the whole day and read an entire book. Now some of you may not like to read or may be thinking, why on earth would I read when I have a break to do anything? Well, I am just giving a suggestion on what to do to pass time until the night, or any activity that you might be looking forward to. Here are a couple super intriguing and suspenseful books that I just got done reading: "Tell Me," "Now or Never," and "Aftermath."



In the story "Tell Me," a woman in Savannah, Georgia was convicted of killing her oldest daughter and severely injuring her son and other daughter one night. She claims that a man came in the house and had a gun and shot them all, since she had a wound on her arm from a bullet that was shot at her. The prosecution argued that she wanted to get rid of her children with her boyfriend at the time. Now, twenty years later, her son is recanting his testimony.




In the story "Now or Never," a Boston police detective has to figure out if three murders of New England women revolve around one serial killer, or if they are all separate killings. Without any clues or evidence, he has nowhere to start. He contacts a popular star on an investigation to help him solve the crimes.





"Aftermath" is the first book in a three book series. This story is about a college woman who is an introvert, shy, and doesn’t have many social skills. She ends up tutoring the star soccer player that everyone says is the biggest player. After tutoring him for a while, she ends up realizing that he isn’t what everyone else makes him out to be, he is actually sweet and caring, nothing like what she had expected.





Here are just a couple books that might peek your interest. Lie down in your best one-day and try them out. I bet you will be surprised how long you can actually read for.

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.
