The megillot are read on different occasions in the year:
- Shir HaShirim on Pesach
- Rut on Shavuot
- Eicha on Tisha b'Av
- Kohelet on Sukkot
- Esther on Purim
Do any mefarshim find a connection between the 5 megillot and the 5 books of the Torah?

25 megillot is not a halachic category. They are just 5 books some read on various occasions. A better parallel is 5 books of tehillim. – Double AA Mar 28 '24 at 14:50
