BookBub sent us a list of July’s best new popular fiction. It looks like we’re deep in the era of hot pastels and bold fonts. Does this kind of cover draw your eye and make you want to pick it up? We’re curious!

This week a federal judge ruled that using authors' books without permission to train AI is legal because it doesn't create a directly competing work.
