Spell the Month in Books is a monthly meme hosted by Jana at Reviews from the Stacks. To participate, find a book title that starts with each letter in the month’s name, make a list, share your link, and that’s it! You can share anytime by the end of the month. Some months have additional themes, but feel free to participate however you’d like!

I didn’t see a theme posted for May, so I decided to go with one of my own. My book list for May is focused on May Flowers… books covers with at least a flower or two! With only three letters to work with, it’s a quick list to put together… although as usual, “Y” books are the hardest to find.

Here are my MAY books:

M:

Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah McCoy

A:

The Austen Escape by Katherine Reay

Y:

The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth

Happy May! Wishing everyone a month filled with flowers!

This month’s theme is a choice: Easter OR Pastel Covers. I’m going pastels… because I can’t figure out how to do an Easter theme (I don’t think I know of enough books with bunnies on the cover!)

This month’s theme is a choice: Take your pick from Pi Day, March Madness, or Green Covers. I’m going with Pi Day… or more specifically PIE day… meaning, any book with some sort of baked goods on the cover! Because… yummmmm… I need more delicious desserts in my life.

This month’s theme is a freebie — so any topic we want! Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I’m going to focus on romance books… and just to keep it fun and a bit more challenging, I’m not allowing myself to double up on any authors.

This month’s theme is New – interpret as you will (new releases, new to you, etc). My take on the topic will be new books added to my TBR… most (but not all) of which are upcoming 2026 new books!

Here are my JANUARY books:

J:

Jane Austen’s Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney

My goal is to read more non-fiction in 2026, and this book definitely fits my interests.

A:

Anne of a Different Island by Virginia Kantra

A new release for January 2026! Doesn’t a contemporary retelling of Anne of Green Gables sound charming?

N:

The Name Game by Beth O’Leary

I’ll always read a new Beth O’Leary book! This one will be released in April 2026.

U:

The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden

Sounds terrific! Release date: June 2026

A:

The Amateur by Chris Bohjalian

Another author whose books are automatically on my must-read list! Release date: August 2026

R:

The Romance Revival by Christina Lauren

Yes please! This author duo’s books are always such fun. Release date: July 2026

Y:

You & Me and You & Me and You & Me by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees

I came across this upcoming new release while searching for a “Y” title — and it sounds good! A love story with a time machine involved? Sign me up!

This month’s theme is Giftable: Books you would give or like to receive as a gift. Let’s see what I can come up with…

Here are my DECEMBER books:

D:

Dear Lord Akeldama by Gail Carriger:

A terrific gift for fans of the author’s Parasol-verse books.

E:

Every Summer After by Carley Fortune

I love this author’s books, and this special edition of her first novel is gorgeous!

C:

Clanlands by
Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish

Perfect for Outlander fans — need I say more?

E:

Everything On It by Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein books are always great gifts… and I’d argue that they make great gifts for all ages, not just children!

M:

Mythos by Stephen Fry

A big, coffee table-sized book with beautiful illustrations — a terrific accompaniment for the Mythos audiobook (which I highly recommend).

B:

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree

Cozy fantasy is never a bad gift option, and the bookshop setting is a plus!

E:

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

I love this series, and the first book is wonderful. It would make a great gift for someone who loves fantasy worlds and portal fiction.

R:

Robots vs. Fairies edited by Dominik Parisien & Navah Wolfe

Sci-fi? Fantasy? Why choose just one! I’m including this books as a really fun pick for gift giving — it’s a terrific collection of short stories, and I don’t think it’s widely known, so it should be new to whoever you give it to!

Wishing everyone a very happy December! If you spelled the month in books, please leave me a link to your post — I’d love to see it!
