May isn’t just a shift in season — it’s a chance to explore new voices, unexpected plots, and the kind of stories that stay with you long after the last page. This month’s selections are sharp, memorable, and ready for your next book club discussion.
BookTrib works with 60 clubs nationwide to spotlight books worth talking about — a mix of familiar names and authors you’ll wish you’d discovered sooner.
Now, we’re handing the mic to a few of May’s featured book club authors. Want to hear more from them? Just ask — we’re all about turning great reads into real conversations.
