It doesn’t matter if you want a romance, a LitRPG, or even a memoir. The publishers have packed the month with entertainment, heartbreak, laughter, and much more. Going through the list of releases can be overwhelming, so I’ve got the seven to check out across the genres.
Grand Central
‘True Crime’ by Patricia Cornwell — Memoir
I will say that this memoir isn’t an easy read, and it’s not meant to be. Cornwell has never glossed over the realities of crime, and she doesn’t want to gloss over the horrors she survived. At the same time, there’s a message of hope and fortune, and it makes for an enlightening and educational read. True Crime is available on May 5, 2026.
Random House BFYR
‘That Which Feeds Us’ by Keala Kendall — Gothic Thriller

That Which Feeds Us is coming out on May 5, 2026.
