With this back-and-forth game, it feels like spring will never arrive. But it\u2019s coming; I promise! Just today I noticed how the slippery sidewalks are starting to turn to slush, and the sun is still shining as I write this at 6:30pm. So, to keep you motivated until the warm weather finally does arrive (and stays), here is a list of 10 must-read spring releases to get excited for. This selection includes 10 new books that have either recently hit shelves or are expected later this spring. Ranging from light-hearted comedy to deeply moving drama, and from dystopian horror to historical fiction romance, these books all explore the unique and diverse experiences of women across time and place.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>On the Come Up<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>by Angie Thomas <\/strong><br \/>\nThe YA author everyone is talking about, who brought us bestselling novel and feature film <em>The Hate U Give<\/em>, is back with a new book. And once again, it is a novel that any age group\u2014whether you usually fit the YA readership or you\u2019re a bit older, like me\u2014will love. <em>On the Come Up <\/em>tells the story of 16-year-old Bri, an aspiring rapper. At home, she faces an empty fridge and eviction notices on the door, and at school, her grades are slipping quickly. The novel opens when she gets the call she has been waiting for: to participate in her first battle. This story is a testament to perseverance, explores the cost of speaking up as a young black girl, and ultimately, is a love letter to the art of hip hop.<br \/>\n<em>Buy it here: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Come-Up-Angie-Thomas\/dp\/0062498568\/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=on+the+come+up&amp;qid=1552394819&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Amazon<\/em><\/a><em> \/ <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapters.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/books\/on-the-come-up\/9780062498564-item.html?ikwid=on+the+come+up&amp;ikwsec=Home&amp;ikwidx=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Indigo<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>In Another Time<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>by Jillian Cantor<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the years leading up to WWII, a young couple in Germany falls in love.
