Judging books by their covers, 18
Just want to share some books whose covers I love! Once every 4 weeks, I'll post 4 books and super short synopses of books whose covers catch my eye. The Auction by Sadie Kincaid ( MIRA , 2026): Beauty and the Beast meets organized crime in this tense slow-burn romance with scorching spice, thrilling suspense, and life-altering secrets. Mad Mabel: A Novel by Sally Hepworth ( St. Martin's Press , 2026): There are two kinds of people no one ever expects to be murderers: little girls and old ladies. The Caretaker: A Novel by Marcus Kliewer (Atria, 2026): A supernatural horror about a young woman who accepts a caretaking job from Craigslist, only to discover the position has consequences far greater—and more dangerous—than she ever could have imagined. We Burned So Bright by TJ Klune (Tor Books, 2026): A heart-wrenching standalone novel that follows an older queer couple on an end-of-the-world road-trip.
