May is here, and so are some of the most anticipated books of the year! This book is going to be a busy reading month for me, and I’m about to graduate from college, so keep me in your prayers.

Some of the books I’m most excited about coming out this month that I’ve already read ARCs of include Fatal Throne (Henry VIII’s wives!), The Royals (The British royal family!), My Ex-Life, and The Favorite Sister. I can attest that they are all great books and you should check them out!

But on the front of books I haven’t read yet and would like to, I’m most looking forward to Monday’s Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson, because I loved her last book Allegedly, and From Twinkle with Love, because I thought When Dimple Met Rishi was just so cute. Of course I’ll also be checking out the new Kasie West book. That girl turns them out!

On the nonfiction front, I’ll probably check out the new Bret Baier book about Ronald Reagan and the fall of the Soviet Union and Beck Dorey-Stein’s memoir about working in the Obama White House.
