The only thing you should be doing this winter break is reading

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

I feel like I have been staring at my phone on tik tok or my laptop on zoom for the past six months. Blue light glasses can only save me for so long. Once my last final is finished I will be saying goodbye to screens for most of my day.  I know it is totally unrealistic to have a totally zero screen time. So, I am just trying to give my eyes and brain a break. But I still want to be entertained with all the free time that I have been dreaming of this semester. My time will now be taken up by all the books I have been wanting to read. Here are some books on my want to read list … escape into the worlds created by these female writers.
