My (Not So) Guilty-Pleasure Reading List

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CMU chapter.

Truthfully, I wish I read more. In my downtime, I either catch up on TV or nap. There are some books that I’m dying to read, so I’ve promised myself that I would get around to them this summer. I’ve also read some kick-ass books whose titles induce judgment from my friends (and yes, the plots are slightly embarrassing to describe), but they’re actually well written and emotionally engaging. Maybe I’m being ridiculous, but here’s a short list for y’all:

1. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling

2. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

3. Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

4. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins

5. Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

If it isn’t obvious, I’m a huge fan of Stephanie Perkins. #2-4 are three out of the four books she has written (and they’re all part of the same collection… oops).

I am a junior Materials Science and Engineering mjaor at Carnegie Mellon University, and I am also minoring in Professional Writing and Business. I am a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.  I love TV and trying out new beauty products.  I follow E! on Twitter so that I can stay up-to-date on celebrity news.  I'm royal-obsessed, and I love Kate Middleton's style.  I'm kind of a Sephora addict, and I could easily spend hours there.  I also spend way too much time on Pinterest.  Finally, I love hockey and all Pittsburgh sports.
