10 Spring Book Releases I Can't Wait To Read

Hello my darlings. Spring is in the air, which means that spring book releases are officially here. I plan on speaking on a few books that I look forward to reading in the future and maybe you can add to your book list or to be read pile. I have created a list of 10 books ranging from different genres to give you a little bit of a variety. Spring can bring out a new mood and why not add a new book that was just recently released. Some of these books you can find physically or you can choose to download an e-book version.
