May Special Days Book Lists

Below lists the special days listed on Days of The Year for the month of May (as of May 20, 2023).  I don't know the site's creators, so I don't know about updates or fixes they have throughout the year.  My goal is to update and make fixes once a year for the updated dates.  

You can find all the months and the reasoning behind these book lists on the Special Day Book Lists blog post.  Below, you'll eventually find links to book lists about or connected to each holiday, celebration, awareness day/month, etc.  If you have other book suggestions, comment on that post, so people see it when they read that post!  If you have any book suggestions for me for any lists that aren't yet posted, email me at lemoncupcakelife@gmail.com.
