Our first cover prompt of 2026! You're looking for a book that has a primarily red, green, or blue cover.

As a reminder, this is completely up to your discretion! How you define the color or the word "primary" is up to you... there's no cover police here.

The Maid (Molly the Maid, #1) by Nita Prose Magpie Murders (Susan Ryeland, #1) by Anthony Horowitz

No Two Persons- I keep forgetting the name of this book that I’ve wanted to read for a long time. So I put it at #1. I think I would appreciate it now, more than I would have in the past.

We were supposed to wear red or green, so I put on my "green" shirt (in my defense, it was dark), and when I got to work, I looked down and my shirt was definitely blue. LOL. Oops. This book cover, however, is blue: A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos
A Winter's Promise (The Mirror Visitor, #1) by Christelle Dabos

Keli | 42 comments I have had Splinters of Scarlet by Emily Bain Murphy from the library for well over a year. This will be read by the 2nd week of 2026! Unless, of course, someone has reserved it and I finally am forced to read it.
