I don’t know about where you live, but the weather here in Wisconsin is finally starting to get nicer and I’ve been able to read outside a little! Sunshine plus books make me happy. This month I have a few interesting picks that I surprisingly really enjoyed. It’s important to add some variety to your typical book selections to keep things interesting. I hope you are able to find your next great read from my book reviews and recommendations for May below.

I’m bringing you some variety this month but I have to warn you, none of these books are very light or funny. Surprisingly, it was the thriller that won my vote for book of the month. Check out my book reviews below to read what I thought of each of these stories.

I read a number of depressing books in a row this past month (I don’t review all the books I read). Then, thankfully, I found a book I really enjoyed. I even gave it five stars (see review below). The story made me want to go on a vacation so bad! Enjoy these book reviews and find your next great read.
