Every summer, I always look forward to three months of what I consider uninterrupted reading time. This year, my “to be read” list is naturally veering towards themes around graduation and what comes after it since I will be navigating post-grad life. If you’re also heading into the unknown, here are some books I’ll be reading to navigate this simultaneous ending and new beginning.

In my humble opinion, one of the best parts of living in the US is access to public libraries, but unfortunately, most people aren’t familiar with all the things the library has to offer. While USC has plenty of incredible libraries, they’re more suited to research or a late night study session than finding the hottest new fiction release. If you made a resolution to read more for fun in 2023 like I did, don’t overlook the LA Public Library to save on books, get free movies, documentaries, magazines, music, and much more.
