May on TitlePage might seem like a book you've read before – one with a familiar cast of characters. Yesteryear, Famesick, and London Falling all make a return appearance this month.

All three books continued to rank among the month's most viewed and downloaded titles, with Yesteryear author Caro Claire Burke ranking among the most viewed contributors. London Falling saw similar staying power, with Patrick Radden Keefe also continuing to attract attention alongside the title itself. Despite their different subject matter, each touches on topical issues that continue to occupy public attention, from celebrity and public life, to current affairs. Together, these titles are suggestive of an audience who are interested in books reflective of wider discussions taking place across media and culture.

Yet again, screen adaptations and literary recognition shaped the month's new entries. Elle Kennedy's The Deal emerged as a standout addition, driven by its Amazon TV adaptation, while Taiwan Travelogue captured attention following its International Booker Prize win. Together, these titles highlight the discovery trends that defined April: readers are finding and returning to books through cultural moments happening beyond the page, whether that's a streaming release or a major literary prize.
