Hello everyone! So, one of my favourite shows right now is The Umbrella Academy on Netflix *insert an infinite amount of heart eyes* It just came out last week and I immediately fell in love with it, even though I had no idea what it was about lol Literally, it just popped up on my Netflix and, without even reading the description, I started watching and WOW was that such a good decision! It’s amazing and so much of everything I love in one place and also exactly what I needed to watch…..you definitely should watch it! Especially since I really want a season 2 hahaha

Anyways, in the show, the main premise is that there are 7 kids who were adopted by some eccentric guy and 6 of them are extraordinary with a power each. And, in watching the show, one of my favourite things was to see who I’m most like (I still don’t know lol) But, from that, I came up with the question: what books would each of the Umbrella Academy kids be most interested in/their personalities most suit? Thus, this post was created: pick a member of The Umbrella Academy and you’ll find 3 books that I think most fit them and would recommend to them and you! Hope you enjoy….

Number 1 (aka Luther) – Luther takes strong to another level in The Umbrella Academy but this guy lived on the moon for years before coming back to Earth and resuming taking charge of the siblings.

• Illuminae* by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
• Girls Can’t Hit* by T.S Easton
• Renegades* by Marissa Meyer

Number 2 (aka Diego) – throughout the entire show, we see Diego as this knife-throwing vigilante who works both alongside and ahead of the police force which can put him in some tricky positions.

• Sadie* by Courtney Summers
• Six of Crows* by Leigh Bardugo
• The Amateurs* by Sara Shepard

Number 3 (aka Allison) – at the beginning of the show we know two things: Allison is ‘super famous’ and that her power is rumouring which basically is the power of persuasion.

• Royce Rolls* by Margaret Stohl (PS. the hardcover is only $2.99)
• Unrivaled* by Alyson Noel (PS. it’s $2.99 on Kindle)
• Daughter of the Pirate King* by Tessa Levenseller (PS. the hardcover is only $5.99)

Number 4 (aka Klaus) – from the start of the show, we know that Klaus is pretty weird, a drug addict, and can talk/see the dead. He’s also tied with Five for my favourite character lol

• City of Ghosts* by Victoria Schwab
• The Body Finder* by Kimberly Derting
• The Name of the Star* by Maureen Johnson

Number 5 (aka Five) – Five can jump time and space which got him at the forefront of the apocalypse. It’s also got him ‘super old’ and jaded.

• Wool* by Hugh Howey
• Into The Dim* by Janet B Taylor (PS. it’s only $2.99 on Kindle)
• Red Rising* by Pierce Brown

Number 6 (aka Ben) – he’s so totally dead. What else is there to say? Oh, and his power is pretty monstrous.

• The Bone Witch* by Rin Chupeco
• Sweet Venom* by Tera Lynn Childs (PS. the paperback is only $5.99)
• Daughter of Smoke & Bone* by Laini Taylor

Number 7 (aka Vanya) – growing up, Vanya was always the odd one out but she’s pretty good at putting her energy into music, especially violin (we stan fellow violin players).

• Iron Cast* by Destiny Soria
• This Savage Song* by Victoria Schwab (PS. it’s $1.99 on Kindle)
• Three Dark Crowns* by Kendare Blake

And that is all for The Umbrella Academy members and books! Now, have you watched The Umbrella Academy? If so, what did you think of the show? (NO SPOILERS!!!) Lastly, which book(s) would you read from above? Let me know in the comments below!! Personally, my faves are Klaus (Robert Sheehan in anything always is fave) and Five! Anyways, thank you, have a great day/night and tata for now!
