Welcome to May! May often feels to me like the start of summer. I’m extra excited as always because the 2025 Summer Reading Guide drops in less than a week! You can pre-order it here. I’m sharing a short list of May new releases–none of which are on this year’s guide 😏–that I read and enjoyed. This month’s list is a great mix of graphic novels, adventure/survival fiction, historical fiction, and sports fiction — none of which are on this year’s Summer Reading Guide.
This is a Patreon-only post available to paid members of my Patreon community. You can also purchase it a la carte for $5. Join Patreon to access our monthly New Release posts and other perks, such as my Book Matchmaking service (personalized recommendations for your kids), virtual author visits, seasonal guides, monthly reading recap episodes, and more.
