Swornima’s Summer Watch & Read List

Say hello to Swornima Bhandari — bookworm, nature girl, and newly upgraded junior. She’s from Nepal and loves anything with a good story — poems, novels, dramatic plots that make you cry at 2 a.m., you name it. This summer, she’s sharing her top picks to keep you entertained while you pretend to be productive like every summer when in reality you don't. Prefer a twin switch or a classic British rom-com?  The Parent Trap and Notting Hill are calling. And if you just want to binge shows and eat snacks, she’s got Gilmore Girls, Brooklyn 99, and Gossip Girl lined up for you. As a bookworm, her recommendations also includes A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, Circe by Madeline Miller, and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Swornima loves family, friends, fresh air — and now, helping you survive summer with style.
