We are excited to link up with Top Ten Tuesdays, hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.
From The Artsy Reader Girl — “Welcome to another TTT! This week’s topic is Authors You Wish Were Still Writing Today, and was submitted by Rebecca @ Top100Books. These could be authors who have passed away, are retired, or are taking a hiatus from writing. You could also spin this and share authors who have switched to a genre you’re not interested in. I’m kind of doing a little of everything today!”

This week we chose May 2026 releases but with one twist – all of the book covers have flowers on the cover! Or, in the case of Matt Haig’s new novel, leaves! I just had to include his in this list! I hope you enjoy.

QOTD: Which of these books looks most interesting to you?



What a lovely bunch of covers! That Which Feeds Us is going on my TBR list.
I just finished Strange Familiars which I liked but perhaps not as much as I expected to.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
