My readers are AWESOME! I got a tip (see comments!!!!) about this month’s picks!
Thanks to one of my readers for finding the sticker for me! That was pretty amazing sleuthing! 🙂
All I saw was the sticker online. Not sure if this will be a future one or this month’s. I found it on the Kindle Amazon app.
It is an unusual pick being a male lead character.
*** I did not see reeses sticker in real life with my own eyes. I saw it in the Amazon Kindle store. If it is wrong, I am sorry. I thought the same thing … odd with a main male character lead. I am not sure if it is a fake or trying to throw us off. I wish I saw one in the store. I do know it has already released. If I saw a physical book, I would be more inclined to back up this find. ***
After the clues, I still think it is dictionary of lost words. But I do not have a sticker to back it up.
Hi! I just saw a Read with Jenna sticker on Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, and a GMA sticker on The Change by Kristin Miller. Both come out on May 3rd. I’m a cataloging librarian for a public library system, so I often see these ahead of time. I’ll update you if I see this month’s Reese book come in before you’ve posted.
Oh wow! Thank you! I really appreciate the heads up! I will post these now! Thanks again!!!!!!!!
No problem!
I wonder if The Hacienda by Isabel Canas is a pick!
I wonder if Reese will pick it? It is not her typical genre though.
It is not The Hacienda. We just got our copies in and there were no stickers.
Rats. I saw a copy of when women were dragons… no sticker.
Oooh I can’t wait for Reese’s club pick. Thanks for posting month after month.
You’re welcome! I have to wait until we get a shipment of books with stickers. I hope to know soon. It is getting down to the wire here.
Maybe Book Lovers?
It out May 3 in Canada too.
I do not know. It is a genre that she has not picked in a while. I have NOT seen the book come in yet. It could be that. I was expected it to arrive here this week. But no shipments of it yet.
This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub has a perfect little circle on the cover that would fit the book club sticker.
I was spying this book on social media too. I think this book fits more of Reese’s style. Totally agree that this is a option.
This book is released later in Canada and UK so I’m not sure this is the pick. It may be When women where dragons though. Can’t wait! It’s fun to guess. 🙂
And thank you for your blog!
It is fun to guess. That is good to know though about the release.
It was initially scheduled for a 5/17 release here, but I’ve seen it listed as 5/3 as well. I’m so ready to know!
I just want to say thank you for doing this blog.
You are welcome!
hi so no clue yet for Reese’s then?
The moment I see a sticker, I will post. I am sorry, but my sister or myself hasn’t seen any stickers
You are the best and I love checking this weekly sometimes daily lol! Thank you!
I am glad! I hope that I see a reese sticker before she announces.
I’m thinking Magpie by Elizabeth Day. Looks like it was previously released last September and is releasing on 5/3 with a new cover. She did that same thing with Lucky.
Yea. Maybe the reason why no one is seeing a sticker is because it is not a new release. 🤔
I was wondering if it’s Darling Girl. Has anybody seen a copy of that? Since Mother’s Day is in May, I think the book could be related to a mother/daughter relationship.
While Reese usually doesn’t always go for on the radar writers Emily Henry’s upcoming Book Lovers is being printed up simultaneously in both Hardback and Paperback (which is unusual) with vendor purchases in the many thousands of copies. I haven’t seen a sticker on either the paper or hardbacks, but the numbers suggest that could be it. We’ll see.
I would guess Love Marriage by Monica Ali, but there is literally no room on the cover for a sticker. So I’m thinking it might be Elektra by Jennifer Saint.
It’s not Elektra as I saw a copy instore, and there wasn’t a sticker
I just finished Like a House on Fire by Lauren McBrayer. Could totally see Reese picking it.
Darling Girl? The Hello Sunshine Instagram account liked an Instagram review of the book. Has anyone seen the cover come in yet without a sticker?
I have not viewed the final copy of this book….
Love your blog! Thanks for the exciting and reliable intel!
Thanks! My sister works at a place where she sees stickers. And I sometimes spot a sticker or two at my work. So between the two of us, I said I may as well post them. I liked to know beforehand to reserve it at the library. These books go from 1 week reserve to a year wait time after they announce it.
It’s not Love Marriage, Magpie or Elektra, as I’ve seen all of these on my local bookstore and there is no sticker
What about Our Little World or What We Do In The Dark? Has anybody seen them?
I’ve seen What We Do In The Dark, and it doesn’t have a sticker
Re: Reese’s May Pick- In looking at the books that will be released on May 3rd (not including the ones already mentioned above), could it be:
Our Little World- Karen Winn
When Women Were Dragons- Kelly Barnhill
Book of Night by Holly Black also releases May 3. Could be too hyped or commercial for Reese’s club though.
Is it our little world?
I just bought a copy of “When We We’re Dragons.” No Reese sticker.
I also saw a finished copy of this book. No sticker
Has anyone seen a copy of the other mother by Rachel Harper? could potentially be an option. Also thank you for doing this blog I love checking in every few days leading up to the beginning of each month, it’s so fun to guess.
I have not seen a finish copy. Let me check to see if my sister has….
This wasn’t on my radar at all but it tags RBC in hash tags, it’s out May 3, and also hash tags female entrepreneurs… hmmm…

I think she would have known if she were a pick before April. For celebrity book clubs, it seems that the books are picked at least 4 months in advance.
Jenna Bush, in October, said that Oprah Winfrey contacted her in June about picking The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles as Jenna’s BOTM choice.
Ah yes. Haha. I didn’t go further. I’m just at such a loss this time!
Also, In the RBC app, there is a previous question asking RBC app followers “what independent bookstore would you like to visit?” Interesting…
I’m reserving a copy anyway.
today is the may pick guess day for Reese book club..
First clue is up… What is the Meaning of This?
No clue why the random capitalization. 🤷🏻♀️
The dictionary of lost words? May 3 paperback release
I like this guess!
YA title – Family of Liars.
Hi! I got a gifted copy of a hardcover that comes out June 7 with a book club sticker on it. I’m happy to send you an email so you can verify!! Love your website btw 🙂
OMG that would be awesome. My email is booknerdalert@hotmail.com. That would be awesome for some intel. My readers are always so awesome! 🙂
Ooh can you share the title with us?
It was These Impossible Things by Salma El-Wardany
Yes!!! It said untitled online. I couldn’t find a title!
Ooh what book club sticker was it? This would be super helpful info to order some copies for our libraries.
It can’t be “Book lovers” can it? I found this online as a book club pick below
https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/book-lovers-emily-henry-excerpt/
Some people claim that they saw a copy of it without the logo. I am doubtful. I think the reason why I have not spotted a sticker is that it is an older book. I suspect an older book being re-released this week. But I could be wrong. If it was new, I would have put my eyes on a sticker by now.
I saw it’s been updated with Bennetts… but how does that fit any of the clues?
All I know is I saw a sticker on Amazon’s kindle app.
I wonder if they’re somehow putting out fake stickers? Maybe it’s just me, but that’s a terrible choice. I’m a Scottoline fan, but this is not a good one.
Idk. It was on kindle app. Would Amazon put a fake sticker on a book?
I don’t think it’s What Happened to the Bennett’s as I just saw it in store and there isn’t a sticker. I can send you a picture of the book in store if you’d like. It also isn’t Darling Girl or Out Little World.
I just saw a sticker on the Amazon Kindle store. Idk. I did not see the sticker in real life.
I’m sure it’s been crazy month with comments and emails but I want to say thank you and your sister for helping us out with this blog postings all months.
You are welcome. This month has been crazy with everyone scrambling to see a sticker.
I really think Dictionary of Lost Words fits the four clues the best.
Thank you for sharing! This has been a mysterious month for sure! Excited to read these picks!
The best part about the whole thing is that I’ve reserved nearly every guess at the library. I really need someone to pay me to stay home and read books. Thank you for keeping us updated!
I just read What happened to the Bennetts last month and none of those clues match up. Maybe Amazon put the sticker by mistake?
And the winner is…DICTIONARY OF LOST WORDS!!
I love this blog & appreciate it so much. I agree that it is always helpful to get a heads up in order to jump on library wait lists! Especially if we are trying to get a copy of the book to read along with a club’s schedule.
Y’all nailed Reese’s May pick despite some initial doubt. This enabled me to jump on and get on wait list for one of two copies of The Dictionary of Lost Words.
Thanks a bunch!!!! I always love scoping upcoming books out on here.
I am glad. Yea, I kept going back to that book. It was something that my co-worker said she thought was weird when she tried to order the book, the cover was missing. Well, this book has been out for a while. So I thought it was odd. Funny how the little things stick out like that. I am VERY happy that you enjoy seeing them. I do the same thing. I am able to either pre-order before the price increase OR reserve it on Overdrive. The wait times after her announcing a book can be months.
