Book lovers, the book tea this week is piping hot. We’ve got some exciting new cover reveals to check out; some really good news from the Spider-verse; some cool news about upcoming adaptations; and yes, LeVar Burton, the king of literacy advocacy (and our hearts), is back at it again. So let’s cut the small talk and hop right into it!

Here’s the cover of the newest novel by Claire Fuller, the author of Bitter Orange and Unsettled Ground. Of Hunger & Thirst‘s cover design, author Claire Fuller said, “I am amazed and delighted that Beth Steidle has not only designed an incredibly arresting cover but also managed to convey so many of the themes and storylines in the book. The main character, Ursula is a reclusive and famous sculptor, and so while the figure on the cover might be one of her carvings, it could also be Ursula herself caught in a moment of turning away from the camera.” Hunger & Thirst hits shelves on May 7, 2026. But you can read an excerpt now at Crime Reads.

Electric Lit has shared the cover of Diana Xin’s novel Book of Exemplary Women. This debut short story collection features linked stories about ghosts, vampires, and “other manifestations of dread,” but some of the stories are fully grounded in realism. Book of Exemplary Women will be published on December 1st by YesYes Books.
