Goodreads Readers’ Most Anticipated Spring Books

As we shift into spring, we’ve started seeing everyone’s ideas of what the most notable books of the new season are. And we’ve got to say, there are some absolute bangers coming out within the next few months.

For starters, there are books by heavy weights like Ocean Vuong, Suzanne Collins, Stephen Graham Jones, Tracy Deonn, and Karen Russel that have everything from shielf maidens to Indigenous vampires, to body horror brought about by climate change.

Below is a sampling of the books Goodreads readers are most looking forward to for spring.
