About this month

12 books have a release date in May 2021. All of them are out already. Because we only list dated titles, a book with no known date will not appear here.

The first dated title is 21st Birthday by James Patterson, on 3 May 2021. The last is Wish You Were Dead: Quick Reads by Peter James, on 27 May 2021. Meanwhile the rest fall between those two days.

8 of them belong to a series, while 4 stand alone. 12 authors share the month. Each series link opens the full reading order, so you can see where a new book fits.

21st Birthday by James Patterson came out on 3 May 2021. Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter came out on 4 May 2021. My Brother by Karin Smirnoff came out on 4 May 2021. Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard came out on 4 May 2021. Since these books are out, each page shows buying links.

We take each date from public bibliographic records. Since publishers move dates, we recheck announced books weekly. Browse April 2021 or June 2021 to see the months on either side.

Looking for a title that is not here? Search by name, or open its series page to see the next release. Because publishers announce books at different times, a month can fill up late. Check back often, since we refresh the data weekly.
