Maybe you’re hoping for a summer romance. Maybe you’re counting down the minutes until school is out. Maybe you’re excited for (or dreading) the glory that is wedding season. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing this month, just as long as it includes lots of time outside!

This May is packed with some great books for everyone to enjoy! Some of our favorite authors are returning to bring us sweeping literary fiction and the comeback of one of our favorite PIs. We can also speculate as to whether we’ll all be singing the soundtrack to a new hit musical Twain nonstop in 5 years, with the latest from the author who brought us Alexander Hamilton.

If you couldn’t get enough of romantasy hit Onyx Storm, you’ll be excited to know that the first half is about to hit Graphic Audio with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects, and cinematic music—a real treat for any audiobook fans as well!

So, get ready with some pre-season beach reads or maybe get your friends to start a book club. No matter what books put a Spring in your step, you May find that Libby is going to be your best pal for the job.
