Book Confessions of an Ex-Ballerina

May was a whirlwind month for my reading life – 38 books, to be exact! From heart-pounding thrillers to tender contemporary fiction and everything in between, I dove into stories that kept me turning pages well past my bedtime. Whether you’re looking for your next great read or just curious about what’s been filling my bookshelves, I’m excited to share my favorites (and a few that didn’t quite hit the mark) from this massive May reading list.

As I wrap up this massive May reading list, I’m left feeling inspired, satisfied, and eager for whatever books come next. Whether it was an unexpected gem or a long-anticipated release, each story added its own flavor to the month. I hope you found a few new titles to add to your list or are simply encouraged to dive into a reading adventure of your own. Here’s to more great reads ahead—happy reading!
