Happy May! It’s the month of growth and change, but also in the US, it’s “National Mental Health Awareness Month” and “National Get Caught Reading Month.” The two pair perfectly together. Books have been proven to improve mental health and can also serve as windows and mirrors, providing awareness and much-needed representation where there might have been little-to-none before.
As we celebrate and acknowledge the importance of both mental health awareness and reading, here’s a list to consider for your TBR pile this May. Happy reading!

We rounded up some of the best ones, from modern bestsellers to rom-coms and YA books.
We also included some of the best romance books of all time if classics are more your speed.
I ll admit: I m a relatively new romance convert. I used to alternate between devouring dark, creepy thrillers and gutting, emotional contemporary fiction not exactly sweet and fluffy fare. But when the pandemic hit, I needed the light, optimistic amusement of an engrossing love story, and so many of these romances helped me get through the past year.
Romances are often sexy, wild rides through whirlwind passions but as the genre keeps growing, new niches arise. Right now, the enemies-to-lovers and faking-a-relationship tropes are some of the most popular in new romances. We included so many fan favorites, from bestselling rom-coms to classics that have stood the test of time (and, of course, plenty of beach reads).
