Popular Young Adult Trilogies

My parents have told me I read too much.

Popular Young Adult Trilogies
Book Riot

I am an avid reader, which works out well considering I average about one book every three to four days during the summer. My summer job consists of sitting around for the greater part of my shift, giving me hours to read whatever I like.

This summer, I have been a huge fan of trilogies. When I find a book that I love, it’s hard to let it go once it’s done, but with trilogies, you don’t have to. I feel three books is the perfect length for most stories. It’s not drawn out too much, but it’s the perfect amount to (hopefully) leave you satisfied with the story.

I don’t know about you, but when I fall in love with a book, I immerse myself into the characters' world while I’m reading it, and it can be pretty hard to move on from a great read once it’s over.

Here are my top three favorite trilogies I have read so far this summer.

1. Feed by Mira Grant

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live during a zombie apocalypse? Well, my favorite fictional heroine, Georgia Mason, humorously and sarcastically chronicles her adventures through the Feed series, leading us through one government conspiracy after the other, while dodging ferocious zombie attacks

2. Divergent by Veronica Roth

If you were a fan of the Hunger Games trilogy, I would definitely recommend this one. Even if you weren’t a fan, I would still recommend it. Set in the future, when humanity has seemingly lost all control, we meet our heroine, Beatrice Prior. Better known as Tris throughout the series, she fights for what she believes is right for society and her people, which is their freedom. Something is not right within their factions, and Tris makes it her life’s purpose to set things right.

3. The Maze Runner by James Dashner

I am a sucker for young adult dystopian novels, and this trilogy did not disappoint. Set in a time where the world seems to be coming to an end at the hands of a disease alarmingly similar to a zombie apocalypse, though not the same thing. This series centers on Thomas, a teenage boy who wakes up to find himself in a “Maze” with other teenage boys who are unable to recall any of their pasts. While fighting to survive, these boys start discovering things that don’t add up, ultimately leading to the reason why they were put where they are.

Let me know what some of your favorite summer reads have been in the comments below!

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.
