If you are looking for book recommendations to add

If you are looking for book recommendations to add to you list for spring, this months list has some truly wonderful books to choose from. Including a book from my favorite creators of charming small towns, Heather Webber who I’ve previously had the chance to interview about her novels, A Certain Kind of Starlight and The Lights of Sugarberry Cove. Her newest novel, The Forget-Me-Not Library is every bit as enchanting as her previous novels, and in my opinion even more so.

We have a time-traveling (of sorts) novel, You & Me and You & Me and You & Me, The Violin Maker’s Secret which is involves the story of an unusual violin by an unknown maker, finally Should Have Told You Sooner which will pull at your heartstrings long after you’ve finished it.

I’m ready for green leaves on the trees, flowers awakening from their winter slumber, and moments spent in the shade of magnificent trees.
