#nowreading the Arden Early Modern Drama edition of PHILASTER, by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, edited by Suzanne Gossett #jacobean #play #malewriter #femalewriter #aemd @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social
ID: Photo of the book’s cover, featuring wrought iron gates against a night sky. A candle burns in the light fitting hanging from one of the stone gateposts, obscuring the moon in a way that makes the candle seem to be lighting up the sky. On the gateposts are classical statues of a woman on one side and a warrior on the other

#nowreading BURY YOUR GAYS, by @chucktingle.bsky.social #fiction #malewriter #queerfiction
ID: Screenshot of the cover art. The background is black and the author and title are block capitals, inverted to expose a deeper background. The author name reveals a lurid pink, and the title reveals an equally lurid LA; ‘bury’ shows a blue and pink sky, ‘your’ shows the sky turning orange behind the tops of palm trees, and ‘gays’ shows the lower trunks of the palms, a stretch of beach and the ocean. Interposed over and under the text is a sledgehammer dripping with rivulets of glistening blood Across the top of the cover is the text, “USA Today bestselling author of Camp Damascus”, with the strap line “You can make a killing in Hollywood” across the bottom

ID: Photo of the book cover, showing a small rock formation on top of a low rise in an otherwise flat landscape of dry grass, with a figure of indefinite gender walking down the far side of the rise.

#nowreading THE JOY OF ABSTRACTION: An Exploration of Maths, Category Theory, and Life, by @dreugeniacheng.bsky.social #nonfiction #femalewriter #maths
ID: Photo of the book cover. It is yellow, with the title and Dr Cheng’s name in white, and the subtitle in red, as is the attribution, “author of How to Bake Pi”. The O in Joy is made up of two red arrows pointing to each other in a circle, and the word “Abstraction” disappears off the right-hand edge of the book, continuing on the next line from the left. Red arrows appear from the edges to the beginning of “Joy” and the end of “Abstraction”

#nowreading THE LAST DEVIL TO DIE, by @richardosman1.bsky.social #fiction #malewriter #thursdaymurderclub
ID: Photo of the book cover. It is pale cream, with black and purple text, and the word ‘devil’ has a pair of horns, which look like inverted commas. Across the top is the text ‘the multi-million-copy bestseller’, and across the bottom, ‘a Thursday murder club mystery’. There are two quotes, “Brilliantly suspenseful” from Jeffery Deaver, and “Deplorably good” from Ian Rankin. There is also a fox in the bottom left corner, providing a flash of red

ID: a photo of the front cover of the 2017 edition. The design is broken into three sections. The top section, which takes up about half the cover, is a dark indigo with Christie’s signature in cream and the word ‘murder’ in red block capitals with cream shadows. The next three-eighths is cream, with the words ‘is’, in black lower-case script with indigo shadows, and ‘easy’ in indigo capitals with a red shadow, as well as an illustration of a 1938-style car with a figure in the front. The bottom eighth is black, with a red pool of blood under the front wheel of the car

ID: The book’s cover, showing domestic wrought iron security gates, with a glimpse of the doors they protect. The doors are open, as is the left-hand gate, letting light spill through onto the cobblestones in front of the house. This artfully overexposed light obscures our view into the house
