**There is a change in audio sound shortly after my introduction, I had an issue with my headphones. It’s now fixed, but I had to record most of the episode without them
Welcome to May’s Surprise Books & More, a monthly podcast episode/post in which I'll share all of my May reads ranked with star ratings (below) and “surprise” you with books I read this month that I’ve kept secret just for this episode. The best way I can think to describe this monthly segment is that it’s like a very mini reading guide that comes your way monthly instead of once a season or once a year. My focus when searching for possible titles is on under the radar new and backlist books (mostly backlist).
This month…
I’m sharing themed books involving the sea—a backlist book I read this month that was a 5 star winner and an upcoming July release (one I haven’t shared yet) that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about and was also 5 stars. I’ll also be sharing additional titles that go along with the sea theme, a favorite product of the month, a summer reading priority plan of mine (I'd love for you to join me), and gift links I saved and curated throughout the month.
As always, below you’ll find links to all books mentioned, all my monthly reads ranked in order of enjoyment (star ratings are back this month), as well as the gift links. I hope you enjoy!
