six books on my spring book list.

So many books, so little time. If only it was possible to spend all of my hours reading! Since there are other responsibilities that need to be handled, reading is something that I tend to treat myself to at the end of the day. It is a reward. Something to look forward to. My last seasonal reading list included all sorts of Christmas themed books, but this spring, there is more of an assortment. Mysteries, biographies, and so much more. Here are six of the books on my spring book list. 

The first two books on this list were gifted to me by my siblings. Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture by AJ Wolfe is a book that my sister gave me for my birthday back in October. It is no secret that I am a Disney lover - and it runs in the family. We both follow the Disney Food Blog account and were excited about the release of a book focused entirely on the Disney obsessed. The second book shown is Behind The Mirror: Inside The World Of Big Brother by Taran Armstrong. My brother and I have watched Big Brother since the first season aired way back in 2000. My mom started watching with us in the second season and it has been a family event since then. This book takes a look at the television show itself as well as the societal implications. I have already started to read Disney Adults, but look forward to reading both! 

The next book on my spring book list is The Sporty One: My Life as a Spice Girl by Melanic C. This book was heavily discounted at my local bookstore because there was some damage to the cover. It seemed like a good opportunity to read a celebrity biography from someone I am interested in. The Spice Girls were a big part of my life growing up and I have remained a fan over the years, even attending their reunion show back in 2008. I have started The Sporty One already (because I choose what to read on any given day based on my mood) and so far, it has been interesting to learn more about Melanie and her experiences. The next book on this list is The Celestial Wife. This is a new-to-me author and the book was purchased out of curiosity. I have a fascination with cults and religious extremism, wanting to understand what makes people choose that path. The Celestial Wife is about a young woman who chooses to leave a polygamist community, but returns to assist other women.

All of my book lists include at least one or two cozy mystery novels and this list is no exception. The first is Murder She Wrote: A Question of Murder from Jessica Fletcher and Donald Bain. I love a good Murder She Wrote book and have been able to find all sorts of them at thrift stores. This book is about a writers' conference and a murder mystery party gone wrong. Then there is the Easter Bonnet Murder by Leslie Meier, which I actually finished earlier today. I love that Leslie Meier has holiday themed books and that there are a lot of important real life issues covered in them. Though the Easter Bonnet Murder is a cozy mystery novel set in a small town, it also tackles issues of elder abuse, overworked staff in nursing homes, and the joys and pains associated with different life stages. It is a holiday themed mystery novel, but it also has something important to say.
