When the weather outside is frightful, staying curled up with a book is just so delightful! Here are some top books you should read before college. There is no better way to increase your vocabulary (read: help increase those test scores!) as well as give you some good fodder to discuss in upcoming application essays and interviews (juniors especially!).
Note: for anyone who says, “I don’t have time to read,” audiobooks are my preferred method these days of “reading” books on long drives. Check out apps like Hoopla, Libby, or Axis360, which are connected to your local public library, to check out audiobooks for free! No excuses!
