About this month
25 books have a release date in May 2026. 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 A Murder in Hollywood by Michael Crichton, on 5 May 2026. The last is The Final Target by Nora Roberts, on 26 May 2026. Meanwhile the rest fall between those two days.
15 of them belong to a series, while 10 stand alone. 25 authors share the month. Each series link opens the full reading order, so you can see where a new book fits.
A Murder in Hollywood by Michael Crichton came out on 5 May 2026. Archangel's Eternity by Nalini Singh came out on 5 May 2026. Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune came out on 5 May 2026. Out Law by Jim Butcher came out on 5 May 2026. 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 2026 or June 2026 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.
