Whether you're currently on spring break, or eagerly waiting for it to arrive, a great book can truly make the week even better. One of my favorite things about being home is the fact that I can read whatever I want, freely. Instead of textbook chapters every week, I can now pick whatever book my heart desires, and read it leisurely. However, sometimes finding the right book can be difficult. Rows and rows of novels flood book stores and libraries; how could you possibly pick just one?
Here's a list of some recently published books that would make great company this spring break.
1. "Under A Painted Sky" by Stacey Lee.
If you're into historical fiction, this is definitely a book worth checking out. Set in 1849, the novel tells the tale of two girls of drastically different backgrounds who set out on the Oregon Trail. The entire story is captivating and will be sure to hold your attention for all of spring break.2. "Mosquitoland" by David Arnold.
"A story of the difficulties we face and the strength we find to overcome them." This is a thought-provoking story that many will be able to find relatable. For those who like adventure, quirky characters and witty writing, definitely take a look.
3. "More Happy Than Not" by Adam Silvera.
Some have called it the young adult version of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." This somewhat sci-fi novel is about a teenage boy who wishes to have a surgery that wipes his memory in order to forget that he is gay. The story, as a whole, is moving and striking, as well as one that may bring on the waterworks.
4. "Asking For It" by Louise O'Neill.
This book is haunting, yet excellently written. The subject matter in the novel may not be for the fainthearted, but the important message that comes along with the story is unforgettable.

This novel is one that you just can't quit. With a mystery that provides so many questions, you will not be able to put this book down. If you love to binge read, this is the book for you.
6. "All The Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven.
While many would dismiss this novel as your typical young adult romance story, this book truly does touch upon some serious issues regarding mental health. Both of the main characters are intriguing, and you'll find yourself rooting for them along the way.
7. "I'll Give You the Sun" by Jandy Nelson.
A story that shows the power of siblings and all that family has to offer, the novel is written in a different and interesting way, but it works superbly
