💙📚

A grid of six book covers, each with a caption below it.
Top Row, from left to right:
* "CURRENT READ": The book cover titled "STORM OF SECRETS and SORROW" by Melissa K. Roehrich, part of The Legacy Series. It features a dark, gothic design with a thorny vine border, a full moon, and a castle silhouette.
* "MOST RECENT 5-STAR READ": The book cover titled "BLOOD SLAVES" by Markus Redmond. It shows a stylized, ominous image with a figure bound in chains, a small house, and a red and orange color scheme.
* "A BOOK THAT SURPRISED YOU": The book cover titled "WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME" by Nat Cassidy. It has a dark and foreboding forest scene with a silhouetted figure.
Bottom Row, from left to right:
* "RECENT READ YOU HATED": The book cover titled "You Weren't Meant to Be Human" by Andrew Joseph White. It features stark white text on a black background, with the "to Be Human" part in a distressed, red font.
* "A SHORT NOVEL YOU LOVE": The book cover titled "ECSTASY" by Ivy Pochoda. It's a vibrant, abstract design with a colorful face, snakes, and bold patterns in red, yellow, blue, and black.
