We all love to curl up in a cozy spot in bed and binge-watch a television series, listen to a podcast, or even binge-scroll on TikTok. Some of the best bingeing doesn’t come from a screen, but a stack of books!
Don’t even think about the next Netflix show to binge because I’m about to give you the top 5 book series to binge-read.
1. Harry Potter
Steps you into the magical world of Hogwarts. A seven-book series following the main character, Harry Potter, where he discovers he’s a wizard, and his two best friends, Hermione and Ron. This book brings you through their friendship, their courage, and even the power of love, all while uncovering many secrets that tie Harry Potter to Lord Voldemort, a powerful, evil wizard. You will visualize enchanted castles and forbidden forests while each page brings a new spell and a more profound secret, giving the perfect reason to read just one more chapter.
2. Hunger Games
Dive into a dystopian story set in Panem, 300 years from now, where the test of courage and survival is everything. Two representatives, male and female, from 12 districts are fighting for their lives in the annual televised Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen becomes the unsung hero when she volunteers to take her sister’s spot in the Hunger Games. This book is action-packed and will leave your heart racing. As the players enter the arena, it is a guaranteed page turner.
3. Twilight
If you love romance with a supernatural twist, the Twilight series is perfect for you. Main character Bella Swan takes us through her romance with Edward Cullen. What seems like an ideal love story unfolds into a world of vampires and werewolves. Just the right amount of romance is blended with danger to keep you turning the pages.
4. The Maze Runner
Similar to Hunger Games, The Maze Runner takes place in a dystopian world about a group of teenage boys called “Gladers.” Following the main character, Thomas, who wakes up with no memory in the Glade, he knows one thing: he must escape the deadly maze he is surrounded by. If you love fast-paced action with high-stakes survival, The Maze Runner is the book for you. Beware, this will have you up all night.
5. Divergent
In the same vein as the above, this dystopian series takes place in 3079 Chicago. As characters enter adulthood, each must choose one of five social factions based on their dominant personality trait, or risk being classified as a divergent, which is a threat to society. This series follows Tris Prior, the series heroine, a divergent, and a member of Dauntless. While most members conform to the rules, Tris quickly finds out the challenges of fitting within society's rigid walls. Tris puts her bravery trait to the test. Staying true to herself while helping others becomes Tris' priority. This page-turner will have you rooting for her bravery, compassion, and intelligence.
