Image is of a book cover for Between the Lines by Meredith Spies. The image depicts a window letting in sunlight to illuminate a small plant on the sill as well as two framed photographs. The photo on the left is of a male-appearing couple from the early 1900s, in sepia tones and wearing long coats and fancy outfits. The photo on the right is a modern photo of two men caught in a casual moment. They are both wearing blue shirts, one flannel and one cambric. They both have dark hair but one has curly hair and one straight. They look as if they were caught mid-conversation, maybe an argument or slight disagreement. Between the two photos is a stack of old letters tied with twine. The title is in yellow across the top of the cover, the author's name in white across the bottom.

Image is an old fashioned illustration seemingly out of a children's book. It depicts to mice, one dressed in a blue dress with black slippers and a long white apron and the other wearing brown shoes, yellow trousers, a white shirt, and a green jacket using a wooden rolling pin to apply deep pressure to a brown tabby wrapped up and a white object, most likely a blanket or bread dough. The cat has a startled expression while the two mice look determined.

The image is dark text on a pale purple background. The text reads pro queer pro trans pro sex worker pro choice pro liberation pro witch pro vax and science pro UBI and universal healthcare anti white supremacy anti ableism anti billionaire anti racist anti apartheid anti genocide anti trump anti maga anti misogyny. If any of this is a problem for you, my work and I are not for you.

My queer, trans self has a low angst book in this promo, run by Peachy PAs. Low angst, light reads because this has been a hell of a year and it's still January. And as a bonus, you can enter for bookish prizes (no cost, just funsies). books.bookfunnel.com/peachylowang...
Image has a background of images made to look like film stills on a strip. Masc presenting people are showing affection to one another in each image. The people are varying races and presentations, all are happy and touching affectionately. The text is "like it light" in yellow script with "discover low angst and light reads and you could win! Prices include audiobooks, ebooks, and more" in white script.

Do you like folk horror inspired by Southern and Appalachian folk ways and legends? Do you like slow burn paranormal romances between a shadow man and the nonbinary magic worker he's wildly in love with (though with a dose of pining)? www.booksbymeredith.com/so/b6PFNEQ2h...
A book cover for Fetch (In the Pines Book One) by Meredith Spies. A nonbinary, masc-presenting person in a flannel shirt and jeans stands in front of a shadow man. There is a red suitcase on the ground between them. Streamers of light are coming from the nonbinary person's hands and there is the impression of a dark forest around them. A book cover for Witch Bone (In the Pines Book Two) by Meredith Spies. A masc-presenting person in a sleeveless red and black top and jeans is facing the viewer, holding a necklace in their outstretched hand. The shadow man behind them is semi-translucent and looking at the human. A red suitcase is on the ground between them. Reddish and blue light surrounds them. Trees are stretching overhead and rocks are under their feet.
