Read Up
Nothing beats curling up with a good book and a cozy blanket in the wintertime. Everyone knows the feeling when you get lost in the pages and the setting of what you’re reading, you can almost hear the different characters’ voices in your head as you read along with their thoughts and words and you just escape reality for a little while. There’s not much better than that! Whether you’re a fan of fiction or nonfiction, whodunits or self-help, easy reads with short chapters or more challenging reads with longer chapters, there’s something for everyone on this list. Luckily for you, we’ve narrowed down all of the best-sellers lists to five of our Fraternity staff-recommended favorites. All of the books listed below and on the following page are available where books and other media are sold, including Amazon and Target.
