I recently have become a bit obsessed with reading. I love how the pages can take you somewhere new and explore a different time, place, or space. This spring, I made it my goal to read as much as possible and put my phone away.

Here are 11 books to add to your list this spring:

1. "The Great Gatsby" — F. Scott Fitzgerald.

A classic novel set in the 1920s.

2. "Harry Potter" — J. K. Rowling.

Any of the books will suffice. Just go buy all of them... right now.

3. "The Power of Kindness" — Piero Ferrucci.

This book explores how kindness can be utilized to make for a more fulfilled life.
