5 Books You'll Want to Read in May

Welcome to The Readerista podcast! As someone who has always loved getting lost in books—and talking about them just as much—I wanted to create a podcast that feels like an intimate, cozy conversation over coffee with a friend. I’ll dive into my all-time favorites, explore my ever-growing reading list, and reflect on how certain books surprise, comfort, or challenge me along the way. Beyond my own reading life, I’m especially excited to sit down with authors to talk about their work—discussing upcoming releases, inspirations, and the creative process that brings stories to life. Today I’m sharing the top 5 books on my May TBR. Yes, my to-be-read list is quite long, but these are the top 5 books publishing this month that have been on my radar. Based on their summaries and early reviews, I feel like these titles will be wins for me.

Notes From A Midlife Reader: Finding Comfort in Books

Lately, I’ve noticed that when I share that I found my way back to reading after my mom passed away, several people say they, too, turned to reading for comfort when they were grieving. So I’m chatting a bit about my own journey back to reading and why I feel reading is a common thread among those of us who experience a loss or a significant change in our lives.
