August 3: Titles or Covers That Made Want to Read/Buy the Book
Some are backlist, some recent releases and some still to come out but these ten are book still on my TBR. Aside from the cover and title, I really know little to nothing about them yet. Let me know if you’ve got any thoughts on them!










Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglas
Rumaysa by Radiya Hafiza
The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian
White Smoke by Tiffany D Jackson
Gulliverβs Wife by Lauren Chater
The Gay Teen’s Guide to Defeating a Siren by Cody Wagner
Masque by WR Gingell
Before You Say I Do by Clare Lydon
Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
Great list! The Queer Principles of Kit Webb looks so fun, and I LOVE the cover of The Taking of Jake Livingston.

I’ve only read Kingdom of the Wicked from that list and I’m mildly obsessed with it if that answers your question!

The Taking of Jake Livingston is SO haunting & atmospheric, 10/10 would recommend! I hear the audiobook is even better, may have to do a re-read. I’m stoked to be getting another Tiffany D. Jackson, White Smoke looks to be promising and that cover is dope! π

The cover for Jake Livingston makes me back away, since it looks way to creepy for me (especially when paired with that title). The White Smoke cover really makes me curious about the book, though!

I was a little disappointed in Kingdom of The Wicked, it was really slow paced and the main character was kind of bland.

These all look great. I’ve just finished Rumaysa and I think it might be one of the best fairytale reimaginings I’ve read for a long time. Hope you enjoy it!
