The Eight Books I Read in May

Corporate forecasts? Check. Work travel? Check. A calendar packed to the brim? Perfect. Reading eight books in the middle of it all? Why not? Busy months are where I do my best work.

And my reading list is all over the map—which is exactly how I like it. New releases, older favorites, modern classics, literary fiction, thrillers, romance, and a little bit of everything in between. This month’s stack took me from The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The Haunting of Hill House to thrillers like That’s Not My Name and Don’t Forget the Girl, with contemporary fiction and romance mixed in along the way.

And here’s this month’s reading list—with my ratings and a few quick thoughts on each:
