5 Books to Read This Fall

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

With the start of fall comes cooler weather, cute boots, and lots of pumpkin-flavored food. Another great thing about this fall is that there are so many great books that are being released! If you are in need of a new book to read, I have five suggestions for you.

 

The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood

 If you like dystopian novels, then this is the book for you! In this novel, prison is a part-time job that one takes in exchange for room and board. How interesting is that? It is a frightening and hilarious satire on society.

 

The Clasp by Sloane Crosley

This book takes you on an interesting journey to Europe. Three college friends decide to put off their lives for a while to search for a mysterious necklace in Europe. If you like drama with a bit of comedy, this is for you.

 

Ghostly: A Collection of Ghost Stories by Audrey Niffenegger

 October is about all things scary, and this book is a great start. This book is a collection of stories from classics like Edgar Allan Poe, to more modern ones like Kelly Link. If you get spooked easily, don’t read this alone in the dark!

 

Tales from the Back Row by Amy Odell

 Are you curious about what goes on in the fashion industry? Cosmopolitan.com editor, Amy Odell, lets us in on all there is to know about the fashion industry because she has seen it all!

 

Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling

 As a minority woman on television, Mindy Kaling is a woman that many of us look up to. She speaks her mind, promotes positive body image, and keeps it real. In her book, we get a peek into her head and also some pretty solid advice about becoming a powerful woman.

 

We hope a few of these books keep you company as the tempertures start to drop and the pumpkin spice lattes keep you warm! Happy reading!
