Books to Read for Any Occasion

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Saint Mary's chapter.

Feeling Nostalgically Romantic:

Any Sarah Dessen Book            

Sarah Dessen is a great writer when it comes to everyday young adult romance. As a reader you can relate to the characters and she makes you fall in love alongside the heroine.

 

 

Feeling Steamy Romance:

50 Shades

Who can resist Christian Grey and his “fifty shades” of issues?

 

 

Feeling Homesick:

Anne of Green Gables

Reiterating another article, but I completely agree. You can feel completely at home with Anne Shirely on Prince Edward Island.

 

 

Feeling Supernatural:

Historical: The Diviners

Diviners by Libba Bray is set in the Roaring Twenties with a set of interesting characters who all have supernatural abilities. It is a longer read and part of a series, part 3 comes out this month!

 

 

Regular:

The Shades of London

Following the Louisianan Rory as she travels London finding ghosts and those who deal with them, the “Shades” is such an adventure. With 3 books in the series there is plenty to read, and one more on the way, though no word on release date or name.

 

 

Any Reason!! HARRY POTTER

Its Harry Potter, there is no explanation needed.

 

 

Bonus — Getting into the Halloween Season!

The Halloween Tree

Ray Bradbury is a classic author and this story has so many stories and Halloween history lessons within itself as you follow a gang of midwestern kids trying to save their friend Pip. It is a short read but a fun one, also it was made into an animated movie narrated by Leonard Nimroy. Definitely recommend it!
