It's time for a little spring reading. Now that it's March, you may find yourself gravitating toward books that inspire you to seize the new season. Amazon's list of 2016's best-sellers so far includes titles to help you clear out and spruce up your digs. A few cookbooks also make this list, if you feel compelled to ditch the wintry baked goods for some fresher fare. There's even a title to provide some early inspiration to anyone searching for a summer romance.The list now also includes two Harry Potter titles, as we creep closer to the release of the next two projects from J.K. Rowling. Unsurprisingly, the roundup is still dominated by coloring books. So whether you're stuck on what memoir to suggest for your next book club or searching for your next great collection of recipes, this list is a good place to start. All these titles have a stamp of approval from the reading public.
