Judging Books by Their Covers (And We Regret Nothing)

You know what they say—don’t judge a book by its cover. But honestly? Sometimes we do. In this episode of Can I Bring My Book, Kat and Amanda explore the irresistible world of cover buys: books they picked up purely because of how pretty, striking, or downright soft-to-the-touch they were. From bold color palettes and intriguing titles to irresistible textures and filigree chapter pages, we’re sharing the cover art that convinced us to give a book a shot (even if we’ve already DNF’d it once before).

We also reveal our latest finds from the Friends of the Library sales and dig into the emotional drama of rain-damaged deliveries. Plus, in this week’s Trope Talk, it’s a cozy small-town vibe vs. a fated-to-be-together monster romance—complete with fiery beards, puns, and espresso art.
