Book Review: Ashes Through the Hourglass by Danny Lenihan - An Exciting Blend of Psychological Thriller & Speculative Sci-fi There are no good and bad choices, only choices. A mix of time travel and grief with elements of dark humour and psychological thriller. I appreciate the writing style and the effort that he puts into his craft. It has a good balance of being technical and geek about sci-fi and time travel and also being character-driven, deeply emotional and introspective.
10 Exciting Upcoming Books in May, 2026
From sci-fi, short stories to fantasy, horror, mystery and non-fiction. I'm curating this book list for a while now, and I still find books that I can add to it! I handpicked from publisher' newsletters, 'new book lists' from libraries and from Edelweiss. (Edelweiss is a digital market platform for booksellers but anyone can browse and have a look around with limited access.)
As of today, I have 34 titles in my bookshop/UK list for May. Which apart from completely newly published hardcovers it also contains paperback publications as well. As there are readers who are interested in some titles but do not want to commit to the hardcover version. It happens with me also. Sometimes, I'm not sure if I'm invested that much to buy as soon as it publishes, and I feel like I don't lose anything if I just wait for the softcover edition.
I have found that I started to lean more towards paperbacks. Especially, well-made editions like the Oxford World's Classics. I love it that I can fully open it - drawing 180 degrees - and nothing happens to the spine. No pages get loose, no gluing errors, no chunks of the book gets ejected into my face or to the floor. Not that it happens often, but you never know.
So, circling back to the original theme of this post, I included softcover publications in the May list as well. Also, if you happen to jump over to my bookshop, you can find the lists for June and July. I love to look for exciting books, new titles and authors. Little treasure hunting moments, or hoarding problems… Anyway, without further ado, here are my top 10 Exciting Upcoming Books in May, 2026!

The Lamb is the debut novel of the author, Lucy Rose. It is categorised as a folk horror but there could be some debate on that. Which just shows how hard it is to put a story in a box. It is so much more than just folk horror. It has elements of gore, coming-of-age, queer, feminine, it is also quite a bit meditative. It is a complex book, with a huge message, and importance that should be talked about in every book club at least once in its lifetime.
A coming-of-age tragedy of hunger for love, obsession and healing

A raw and honest internal journey through grief and its landscapes. A queer manifesto with relatable and complex characters. … Continue read
We all start somewhere as someone.
Separate Rooms by Pier Vittorio Tondelli was not an easy or fast read for me. It was meditative and unapologetically raw which meant; to tear up old scars and at times to gently soothe new ones.
A queer manifesto with relatable and complex characters. The internal journey is accompanied by the bittersweet landscape of Europe. Like a loyal friend, the train rides and hotel stays, the childhood churches and old houses all holding the main characters hand through it all.
A raw and honest internal journey through grief and its landscapes.
About the book: The author Pier Vittorio Tondelli first published his novel in 1989. It portrays queer life in Europe in the 80s through the eyes of Leo, a gay Italian writer who sees his love, his muse, and his partner, Thomas, a German musician, dying. Trying to navigate grief and his own introspective journey through landscapes of Germany, Spain, Italy and France. just to name a few, in short, through Europe. Slowly letting the reader inside his thoughts, desires, self-love and hatred, shame, fear and guilt, while trying to make sense of it all. Trying to survive and convince himself to keep on going. The author died in 1991 due to AIDS. The novel is adapted to film by Luca Guadagnino, starring actor Josh O’Connor.

Under the Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami - Review
Humans can’t be other than humans. Maybe we never meant to survive ourselves.
Under the Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami is long listed for the International Booker Prize this year. It first caught my eye in the bookshop mainly due to its compelling synopsis which was very much sci-fi like or at least inspired by. I have read it in roughly 3 days but it’s easily devoured in one sitting if you have the time. It took me some time to see the bits and pieces together plot-wise but in the end the whole thing stands on its own legs without a problem. I’m not sure if it’s going to make it into the shortlist or win even but that’s just because I haven’t read the other contestants. I did enjoy reading this book and it kept me thinking long, way after finishing it.
