Top 5 books for the season

October has almost come to its end, which means winter is coming to Pakistan. It's time to get cosy with a blanket, some hot cocoa, and read the Top 5 books for the season.

5. Just One Day by Gayle Forman

This book will make you fall in love with it first and then make you feel otherwise. Do not worry. No one dies. The book will take you around Europe and show you what it feels like to fall in love for the first time and the cosy feeling you get when you're on cloud nine. But Gayle Forman was quick to remind us of the reality lurking around our fantasy worlds. This book is a whirlwind of emotions and will keep you wanting for more.

4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Fangirl is for all those readers and writers who imagine what life would be had their celebrity crush fallen madly and deeply in love with them. But it is more than just some girl writing about romance starring her favourite celebrity. It is about finding yourself and realising there is more to love when you actually feel and witness it, and how different it is from what you make of it in your imagination. A deliciously warm-hearted tale for every bookaholic to read this season.

3. The Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

This isn't your typical chick lit novel. With a hundred and something dead grandmother's ghost lurking around, how can life be typical? The book is guaranteed to take you on a roller-coaster ride with a crazy scavenger hunt, finding accidental love and finding how beautiful life is. Sophie Kinsella, like her previous novels (The Undomestic Goddess), does not fail to impress with her brilliant comedy/chick lit novel.

2. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

This psychological, mystery thriller will keep you hooked till the very last page. The unexpected twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. Paula Hawkins has proved to be exceptionally sensational with a tremendous narrating style where you just cannot tell what will happen next. Best recommendation for those cold nights.

1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

This book has to be on the list because what better way to say hello to winters than this classical novel with surreal jazz music, an epic love story and nights filled with parties. The Great Gatsby was, without a doubt, Scott Fitzgerald's finest work and one of the great classics of the twentieth century. One must have this book in their libraries.
