My Top 5 Favorite Books

In This Article:

This is going to be a list of a few books that I will always enjoy. Some books are commonly known and others not so much. I will summarize those that may not be known for my fellow reading friends.

SHERLOCK HOLMES By: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Giphy

Of course, my ultimate favorite series of books would be Sherlock Holmes. I have always had a passion for mystery books hence my love for Sherlock and Scooby-Doo. Most of Sherlock Holmes consists of shorter stories and some lengthy ones. I don't have a specific favorite short story of Sherlock Holmes because I love so many of them. It just amazes me how Sherlock Holmes' mind is so complex and how he uses that to solve these murders or missing person cases.

THE BROTHERS GRIMM - Complete Series

Giphy

For those who may not know, The Brothers Grimm is a set of different folklore or fairy-tail short stories. Many of these stories are the precursors of the Disney take on fairy-tails. It was so weird seeing the difference between Disney and Brothers Grimm.

"The Poisonwood Bible" By: Barbara Kingsolver

Giphy

The Poisonwood Bible is about a missionary family that goes to a remote part of Africa to urge the locals to convert to Christianity. However, there are many issues that arise along the way. Different deaths, fighting, and insanity. Reading this book showed an interesting take on what happens when locals aren't too keen on converting to a new religion.

"Relic" By: Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

Giphy

"Relic" is a book about a mysterious relic that was brought to the museum. With that relic came a terrifying monster who ran throughout the museum-goers and workers. You see the story progress with the researcher Margo when she tries to discover the monster and stop the killings. Me being a museum lover, this book was an automatic love.

"11/22/63" By: Stephen King

Giphy

"11/22/63" is a time-traveling adventure of Jake, a high school teacher. Jake was approached by old Janitor who offered him the adventure of a lifetime. However, that adventure had a request come with it. The request for saving John F. Kennedy. This book was a different take on what Stephen King usually writes about and it was interesting to see the different writing style that was in the story.

There are plenty more books that I would have written about, but my list would be around 200 and I don't believe you guys would want to sit here and read about it. However, these five books will always be my favorite and will always love to reread them when I have the time.

April Ludgate
NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
