Hey guys! It's Trina and today I'm going
to talk to you guys about my most
anticipated book releases that come out
in May. I have been a lumping in my most
anticipated releases for each month
along with my TBR videos for every month
this year so far, but there are just so
many books that I'm really looking
forward to in May that I decided to do a
separate video because I know this is
going to be long. I'm going to start out
by talking about the sequels that I am
most anticipating that come out in May.
On May 2nd Always And Forever Lara Jean
by Jenny Han is coming out. This is
the third book in the To All The Boys
I've Loved Before series and this is
supposed to be the finale, but book 2 was also
supposed to be the finale and I'm pretty
sure book one was meant to be a
standalone originally, so this is a
series that has kept being expanded. This
one is own voices for a Korean American
main character and this is a
contemporary romance story about a girl
that wrote love letters to all the boys
she's ever had a crush on and in the
first book those letters accidentally
got mailed to all those boys and kind of
like revealed her crushes. So throughout
the series she has been exploring some
of these relationships and dealing with
the fallout of learning whether or not
these boys like her back. I really
enjoyed book 1 in the series and
then book 2 I didn't like it as much but
I really love the main character
Lara Jean. I think she's just refreshing
and so I am looking forward to finding
out what happens to her in book 3.
Also coming out on May 2nd is A Court Of
Wings And Ruin by Sarah J Maas. This is
the third and final book in the Court Of
Thorns And Roses trilogy. There are going
to be three more books set in this world,
they will be following different
characters so this one is technically
the finale of this story arc. This is a
new adult fantasy romance series and
book two really really resonated with me
because of the portrayal of someone who
had depression and was going through an
abusive relationship. It just really was
a mirror for some of the experiences
that I have had in my life and I really
appreciated it so I really want to see
how those themes continue in book 3
because I hope that the dealing with
those things does continue in book 3. And
I'm also excited to see like how Sarah J
Maas ends her series because we haven't
had a finale from her before. The last
sequel that I am anticipating comes out
on May 23rd and it is Lord Of Shadows by
Cassandra Clare, which is the second book in her
Dark Artifices series, which is her third
series in the Shadowhunters world... it's a
lot to keep up with! This is an urban
fantasy series about shadowhunters who
fight demons and like vampires and
werewolves and stuff, and all the different
alliances that they have made and I
think that this series is dealing a lot
with the fae that exist in that world. I
really enjoyed how Lady Midnight ended,
like that very end scene was like,
it just deals with a trope that I am a
sucker for so I am really excited for
Lord of Shadows. Now I want to talk
about the debuts coming out in May, so I
am really looking forward to Girl Out Of
Water by Laura Silverman, which comes out
on May 2nd. This is a contemporary
romance story about a girl who is
looking forward to spending her summer
like in a beach town doing all these
beachy things but in her summer plans
are ruined when her aunt gets into a car
accident and breaks both of her legs, and
she's a single mom and is having trouble
taking care of her kids by herself so
our main character has to move in with
her aunt to help out around the house
and she lives in this like really small
town so she felt like her summer plans
are ruined and she's just trying to
adjust. You may have heard about this
book before because when it was like
first announced the author started
getting a lot of one-star reviews from
like troll accounts on Goodreads and
because of that the book got a lot of
attention where people were trying to
dispute those reviews and get them taken
down. I did follow the author on Twitter
because of all of that and I know that
she talks very openly about disability.
I have heard from people who have read
early copies that there's a lot of
diversity in the cast. Also coming out on
May 2nd is Four Weeks, Five People by
Jennifer Yu. This one has own voices
representation of depression and
disordered eating. There's also a
character with OCD and there are
characters with other mental illnesses.
The premise of this book is that it is a
contemporary following five different
characters who meet in this like summer
program for kids that have mental
illnesses and I read an interview with
the author, she's only 20 years old and
she actually wrote this book while she
was in college to work through her own
mental illnesses because she felt like
she couldn't talk to any of her friends
or her family about it. I don't know if
I'll be getting to it right away but this
one definitely has piqued my curiosity.
Another debut coming out, also on May 2nd,
is Textrovert by Lindsey Summers. This one
is a contemporary romance and it's about
a girl and a guy that she hates. They
have very similar looking phones and
they accidentally grab the wrong phone
when they're leaving this party. By the
time that they realize they have each
other's phones by mistake,
he is already like on the road for a
week-long trip and can't return her
phone. And even though she really hates
him she agrees that she will pass on all
of his text messages for the week and he
does the same for her and throughout the
course of the week they really start to
get to know each other by reading the
messages other people have sent them. And this is a romance
so I'm guessing sparks are going to fly
from there. Next is The Love Interest by
Cale Dietrich, which comes out on May16th.
This one is a YA sci-fi story. It's
about these two boys who are in a spy
school and they're both assigned to this
one really famous girl, they need to like
win her affection, get close to her in
order to like do spy type things. I don't
really know how the spy stuff comes in
but they're trying to win her love and
they end up falling in love with each
other instead, and this is own voices
representation of a gay main character.
I've been hearing about this book in my
feeds for a long time because like when
it first got any attention people were
comparing it to like The Bachelorette
where you have guys come on to win the
love of the one girl but they end up
falling for each other instead. That's
what initially got my attention and
what really sold me on it though was
reading an interview with this author
and he said something about how he
wanted to challenge gender roles in the
book so that is something that I'm
really curious to see done and how he
would do that. Coming out on may 30th is
When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
and this one is a contemporary
romance story about two Indian American
main characters and this is own voices.
These two characters meet at a like
summer program after highschool
graduation and both of their parents
want to set them up in an arranged
marriage and the female character, Dimple,
is like no, she doesn't want to be set up
with the Indian man of her mother's
dreams, but Rishi is like really into an
arranged marriage. He really believes in
tradition and he thinks that this takes
place for a reason. And it's one of my
most anticipated books on this entire
list, like I just really really want to
read this book. It sound really cute and
I think the cover of really gorgeous.
The last debut I want to talk about
also comes out on May 30th and it is
One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus.
This one is a mystery YA.
It's about five students who were
all sent to detention in school one day
and only four of them come out alive. The
fifth one is killed during that
detention because that character runs
like this gossip blog and he was
planning to expose secrets of all four
of those other people, so all four of
those other characters they all have
motives to have done it and you're
trying to figure out which one of them
really did it. I've heard mixed
reviews for this one so far but that
premise sounds really gripping to me.
Like, I wanna know who did it and what
these gossip things were that were
going to be revealed! Like, it just sounds
really interesting. It piqued my curiosity.
So now moving into the books
that aren't sequels and they aren't
debuts, so all of these authors have
previously published books and these
books are either the first in a new
series or they are a standalone.
On May 2nd is Windfall by Jennifer E Smith.
This one is a contemporary romance about
two best friends who the girl character
buys a lottery ticket for her male best
friend who she secretly has a crush on
and she gives him the lottery ticket for
his birthday and he ends up winning the
jackpot. So they're both dealing with how
this new money is going to affect their
friendship and even impact their lives
and the synopsis says that it teaches
them that you know it's not going to be
everything that you wish for. That it's
not just going to fix everything, having
money. Jennifer E. Smith is a young adult romance
writer and I've read three or four of her
books in the past and I feel like she
just has the most amazing premises and I
always feel kind of disappointed by
the end, like it didn't play out how I
wanted it to, but I will admit I am
really curious to see a book explore how
money affects your life. A book coming
out on May 4th, I've actually already
read an early copy of it, that is
The Seafarer's Kiss by Julia Ember and I
wanted to include it in this list because
it is releasing in May and I just want
to make you guys aware of it. This one is
own voices representation of a bisexual
main character and a female/female
romance and it is a Little Mermaid
retelling that is inspired by Norse
mythology. The main character is a
mermaid, she lives underwater and they
are forbidden to interact with humans at
all and her society expects her to mate
with the merboy that she's grown up
with. One day she finds a human girl on
land who is a survivor of a shipwreck
and she ends up falling for this human
girl instead. In my feed,
seeing a lot of people being really
excited about this one and I was too
because I love anything mermaids and The
Little Mermaid themed so I do think that
this one really excelled as a Little
Mermaid retelling, but I had some issues
with the relationship that was portrayed.
I just didn't think it was very healthy.
I have a review up if you want to see
more of my thoughts on this book but I
would definitely recommend this one if
you are looking for a Little Mermaid
retelling. Then there is Flame In The
Mist by Renee Ahdieh, which comes out on
May 16th and I believe this book is
going to be set in either Japan or a
Japan inspired fantasy world, and in it
the main character is female and she
ends up having to dress up like a boy in
order to infiltrate this group of spies
or bandits or something to get like
inside information. And some of the early
attention that this book was getting was
comparing it a lot to Mulan but
apparently Renee Ahdieh has said that
it is not a retelling of Mulan. Now, I
did read Renee Ahdieh's The Wrath And
The Dawn duology and I was not a fan
of it but I have ever since then been
looking forward to whatever she would
write next because like that story didn't
work for me but probably something
else that she writes will. On May 23rd In
A Perfect World by Trish Doller is
coming out and I actually just heard
about this book over on Aria's channel,
BookGeekMovieFreak. The main character
lives in the United States and her
mother gets a job in Egypt so they have
to uproot and move and she will be
spending her last year of high school in
Egypt so she's trying to just like
acclimate to this new culture. She meets
an Egyptian boy and the summary says
that she has with her white privilege
checked so I think that this is really
interesting sounding. And the way that
Aria talked about it was she compared it
to Anna And The French Kiss and I was like whoa
yeah, I can totally see that comparison.
Anna And The French Kiss was about
a girl who had to move to Paris to go to
school for her last year and she didn't
like it but then ended up really
loving the culture and making friends
there and this was does sound the same
only with Egypt. And then the last one on
this list is one that I'm most
anticipating. It comes out on May 30th
and it is I Believe In A Thing Called Love
by Maurene Goo. This one is a
contemporary romance and it is own
voices for a Korean American main
character. She's so smart, she's got her
life together, but she's never had a
relationship and she really wants to
have a boyfriend before she like
graduates high school so she turns to
Korean dramas to take notes from on her
love life and she tries to like implement that advice into her flirtation and
relationships and apparently her life
turns into one of these Korean dramas
soap opera type stories [laughs]. That just sounds
really really cute. Those are all of the
books coming out in May that I do want
to read. I'm going to get so behind. Thank
You May for ruining my TBR for the rest
of the year. If you guys know of any May
book releases that are coming out that
I've missed on my list please let me
know that down below and I would love to
hear which ones that you are most
anticipating. Are any of the ones that
were on my list also books that you're
really looking forward to? Thank you guys
so much for watching and I will see you
in the comments. Bye!
