Reading is one of the easiest ways to improve ourselves and expand our horizons, but too few of us are able to call it a regular habit.

Life is busy, but finding little blocks of time to devote to new ideas, places, and ways of thinking is one way in which we can always make sure we are moving forward.

It can be as simple as picking a great new book to keep in your bag as an option for the commute to work. If you’re looking for something to pique your interest this spring, we suggest checking out Amazon’s top picks for the upcoming season.

You can find the full list of buzzworthy new releases here, but the 10 below are Amazon books editors’ top picks.

One of these recommendations might be the kickoff to a new hardback or Kindle purchase, and an incoming reading streak.
