It's spring in Minnesota, so it's probably raining or about to be raining. Which is the perfect excuse for sitting down with a book. These 10 new titles, most with Minnesota themes or authors, are just the ticket: "Nobody asked me/if I'd like to trade/my tail for legs,/ my gills for lungs," says the frog in Minneapolis author Griffin 's book.

People come to their spiritual beliefs in all kinds of ways - through religious upbringing; as a result of contemplation and prayer; sometimes because of trauma. Sister Monica Clare, an Episcopalian nun, came to hers through want. Born into violence and poverty in small-town Georgia, she grew up craving routine, peace and (oddly) a uniform. If that's not a desire for a nun's life, I don't know what is. Where was God in her convent dream? God came later. But he did come.

It may seem hard to believe, but the Major League Baseball season is about to begin. Will Bardenwerper’s new book, “Homestand” — with its scenes of people sitting in the bleachers, sipping beers and basking in the sun — is a reminder of the many things Americans love about the sport. But those wholesome moments are not all they once were. “Homestand” explores why. The book focuses on the decline of minor league baseball and how it affects one team and its town, the Muckdogs of Batavia, New York.
