Check out our team’s best 2025 book recommendations this month!
Our team loves diving into new reads! We’re sharing our favorite book recommendations right now, and there’s something to inspire every kind of literary adventure!
Here are our team’s top book recommendations for May:
1. Liz loves any book written by Abby Jimenez, but this is her number one fave.
Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez – $12.99 (reg. $28)
“I love literally anything Abby writes, and her latest book was no different. It’s an emotional roller coaster of a long-distance love story with likable characters that deal with hard life situations.” – Liz
2. Liz stayed up almost all night to read this book.
Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry – $20.30 (reg. $29)
“While this wasn’t my favorite book Emily has written, it still held my attention so much that I stayed up almost all night to finish it. It’s about two writers who fall in love while competing to write the story of a lifetime!” – Liz
3. Liz is currently re-reading this entire fantasy series.
Throne of Glass by Sarah J Mass – $11.01 (reg. $19)
*This is book 1 of 7 of this entire series!
“The only reason this isn’t my number one pick is because I’ve already read this series, but I’m currently working on re-reading it all! This is one of my all-time favorite series. It’s a fantasy series about magic, fae, war, love, it’s literally amazing. If you have any interest in the fantasy genre, you should totally give it a read!” – Liz
4. This book about water changed how I view life and water itself.
“My husband and I read this book about water — it’s a quick read that took us just three nights of bedtime reading to finish. If you’re not familiar with Masaru Emoto and his research on the energetic imprint of words, thoughts, and music on water, it is absolutely fascinating and something I believe every human should read. His work reveals how deeply connected we are to the elements, especially water, which makes up the majority of our own bodies. Understanding how intention can literally change the structure of water has the power to shift how we speak, think, and interact with the world around us. It’s a reminder that consciousness is not separate from matter — it shapes it.” – Sara
