Courtesy of catsitter friend, please behold Mina when she sneaks up behind you on the bed and judges you for not playing with the string toy already

Post the cover of the first book you are reading in 2025.

Technically the first book I finished was pic 1 (I was a few pages from the end as of NYE) but pic 2 is the first book I picked up in the new year. I'm always reading several books at once though, so it might not be the next one I finish...
Restoree, by Anne McCaffrey. Cover has EXTREMELY 70s art of a scantily clad woman amid swirling colors suggesting an alien planet, and the tagline "She knew she was human -- but did anyone else?" Long Live Evil, by Sarah Rees Brennan. Cover has a young woman lounging on a winged throne, in a white gown that's bloodstained or red-dyed at the hem, and the tagline "It's time for your villain era."

You are a joy and a delight and an incredible writer to boot!! Becca already provided cat pics but here's another of Mina (from a few weeks back, but one of my favorites)

#petdeath It's a horrible unfairness that cats don't live forever in soft judgmental contentedness even when we really really want them to. In related news, here's a picture of her ladyship, now past tense but always a perfect creature
Our cat Lady Sybil curled up asleep. She's a tricolor calico, and she's got her face tucked into a bundle of paws and tail. Our tricolor calico cat, Lady Sybil, settled on a blue-green blanket on my legs, paws crossed, looking both contented and faintly judgmental

Wedding was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL and every creature in this household is very tired and very glad to be home
A bed with a quilt in big blocks of blue, red,orange, and yellow. I (a woman in t shirt and jeans embroidered with green flowers) am flopped on the bed, eyes mostly closed, a calico cat curled up against my hip.

Help, I need to get up but the cat is purring against my ribs so I guess I just live in this bed forever now
