Spring is on the way for 2021. It is a season characterized by warmer days, flowers blooming, and sunshine bringing life back to the world after a long winter. It is a time to begin anew and try new things. Many people may pick up new hobbies, go new places, and have new adventures. Others may simply choose to sit down and find a new book to read to mark the occasion. If anyone is looking for a new book to fill their minds this spring semester, the Collegian staff has offered some of their own recommendations.
