May 2025 Books


Wolf Hunt by Ayelet Gundar Goshen -  We did this one for book group, and the discussion was really wonderful. This was a hard book to read - there were a lot of unlikeable characters in it, but the story and the writing and the messages were all really interesting, which made it readable. I do recommend this one!

The Sirens by Emilia Hart - Hmm. I am not sure what this book wanted to be, and I do not think I liked it. I preferred the historical timeline to the modern one. 

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry - Enjoyable while reading but mostly forgettable.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore - Okay, so I read this book because I was stuck without my kindle and I went to Libby, and this one came up as "immediately available" and I basically know why. It was FINE but not anything to write home about.

By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult - I really liked this one! I was drawn more to the historical timeline, and I'm not enough of a Shakespeare buff to have gotten what I think were a lot of references, but I liked the character and her story was compelling. The mordern story was interesting, but a little more predictable. 

One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune - it was fun to revisit Charlie Florek and it was a good way to start my summer reading!
