Review: Apple: The First 50 Years, written and performed by David Pogue

An artistic book cover for "One True King" by Amy Daniels. A dark silhouette of a person reaches upward from a stone staircase toward a glowing golden spear resting on a stone altar. The scene is set in an ancient chamber with arched windows, bathed in a vibrant purple and pink watercolor texture. Bright, magical orbs of light and sparkling stars float throughout the air, creating a mystical, fantasy atmosphere. The title and author’s name are written in a black gothic font.

This image is the book cover for "Poison Pill: A Medical Thriller" by Anthony Lee. The cover features a heavy, dramatic red and black color palette with a smoky, textured background. At the top, the title "POISON PILL" is written in large, distressed teal block letters. Below it, the subtitle "A MEDICAL THRILLER" appears in a smaller white sans-serif font. In the center, bathed in a harsh white light that contrasts with the surrounding deep red shadows, is a man with a large build lying in a bed. He is wearing a white t-shirt and has his eyes closed. To his left, there is a small bowl of purple pills, and to his right, a bottle and some medical equipment are faintly visible in the shadows. The author’s name, ANTHONY LEE, is printed in white at the bottom of the cover. The overall atmosphere is dark, clinical, and ominous.

Review: Poison Pill by Anthony Lee, narrated by the author

The image is a book cover for a novel titled "Kamikaze Lust" by Lauren Sanders. The design has a retro, late-90s/early-2000s aesthetic, featuring a pale cream background with orange and black accents. At the top, text indicates this is a "Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition" and a "2000 Lambda Literary Award Winner." The title "Kamikaze Lust" is written in large, stylized orange block letters with a thin black outline. Below the title, a horizontal row contains four square, filtered photographs: A close-up of a pair of lips. A sunny street lined with palm trees. A black-and-white shot of a person’s midriff, wearing white underwear and tall lace-up boots. A blurred, grey-toned swirl or vortex. The author’s name, Lauren Sanders, is printed in bold orange capital letters at the bottom, followed by a note about a new foreword by Carley Moore. A brief testimonial from The Advocate describes the book as a "sexy little novel" that is "steamy" yet not "too jaded for romance."

Review: Tokyo Juku by Michael Pronko, performed by Peter Berkrot – Editor’s Choice Award for Excellence in Entertainment

A watercolor-style book cover for "The Hidden Kingdom" by Amy Daniels. The illustration depicts a massive, reddish-brown dragon with large leathery wings and sharp talons. The dragon’s head is lowered, showing bared teeth and a glowing yellow-and-orange eye as it faces off against a tiny armored knight in the bottom-right corner. The knight is seen from behind, holding a silver sword upward toward the beast. The background is atmospheric and textured, featuring smoky shades of grey, gold, and dark brown, suggesting a cavern or a misty mountain pass. The title, "The Hidden Kingdom," is written in a white, gothic-style font at the top center, and the author's name, "Amy Daniels," is printed in small white text at the bottom center.

A striking audiobook cover for "Regent's Mate," House Adamant #4, by Glynn Stewart. The image features a dark, star-filled, red-tinged space environment. In the center, a large, stylized, black and red spaceship, resembling a futuristic chess piece (perhaps a Queen or King), floats prominently, surrounded by smaller, similar-looking support ships. In the foreground, shattered and broken pieces of large, stone-like chess pieces (pawns and a knight) rest on what appears to be a dark surface. The title, "REGENT'S MATE," is bolded in white and red above the central ship. The author's name, "GLYNN STEWART," and the narrator's name, "NARRATED BY PAMELA ALMAND," are at the bottom. The overall mood is tense and epic, blending sci-fi warfare with a chess metaphor.
