JUDGING 2025 BOOKS BY THEIR COVERS…PART 2

👀I had so much fun when I did this in December, predicting which books from the first half of 2025 I’d love based on their covers, that I had to do it again for books releasing the second half of 2025!

🤗As I said last time, I love that beautiful covers draw me in and help me discover new-to-me authors! All of these 16 authors are new to me and I plan to read them all in the second half of this year!

📃I spend WAY too much time stalking new releases and planning out my TBR, it’s my favorite hobby…I mean besides actually reading them 😉

📃Here they are listed with release date in parenthesis!

📆Needle Lake by Justine Champine (12/2)
