If Spring were a bookshelf

Lengthening days, blooming flowers, rising temps… here it is, the season of transformation, aka spring. The time for untangling ourselves from hibernation is upon us, and I’m not sure about you, but I couldn’t be happier.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably swapping in brighter colours, iced coffees and teas, and more upbeat, feel-good songs. And while you’re at it, your TBR deserves the same treatment. There are plenty of books on Libby that capture that fresh, hopeful energy and practically scream spring. Consider this your sign to let your reading list bloom right alongside you.
