May had been a really busy and stressful month for me, so that’s why this post is very, very late. Nontheless, I wanted to talk about the books that came out or come out in May and that I’m highly anticipating. I want to give a special mention to A Court of Frost and Starligh by Sarah J. Maas, which was my most anticipated book of the month and since I already read it, I didn’t include it on this list.
Furyborn by Claire Legrand
I actually have an earc of this, I have had it for 2 months but I have been in a fantasy slump, so that’s why I haven’t read it yet. Still, it sounds fascinating, it has two female protagonist living in different time periods and their stories intertwine. Also, this has magic trials, which I love.
Release date: May 22nd 2018
Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake
I have an earc of this book, but my mental health hasn’t been in good lately and this book sounds sad and hard to read, so I’m leaving it for another time. BUT I have heard nothing but great things about it. This book deals with rape, consent and victim blaming.
Release date: May 15th 2018
From Twinkle, with Love by Sandhya Menon
I read When Dimple Met Rishi when it came out and I really liked it, so I can wait to read Menon’s new book. I think this is gonna be a really cute story. Also, it’s told through the letters the main character, Twinkle, writes to her favorite female filmmakers, which sounds fascinating.
Release date: May 22nd 2018
Listen to Your Heart by Kasie West
I really liked the few Kasie West’s books that I have read and I want to give this one a chance. The main character of this book ends up hosting a podcast and I want to see how that format is incorporated in the story. Also, the love interest is latinx and that makes me excited, I hope it’s handled well.
Release date: May 29th 2018
Royals by Rachel Hawkins
I love books with modern royalty and this books has that. I’m expecting a light read with fluffy and funny moments, which is exactly what I’m in the mood for at the moment.
Release date: May 1st 2018
