Hello! We’re Audrey, Blaes, Emily, & Sarah.

The Book & Cover began with Audrey and Emily: two friends who bonded over our mutual interests in Agatha Christie, The West Wing, and Johns Hopkins University, and have been sharing favorite things ever since. In 2016, they started their first book blog called The Year of Agatha, chronicling their adventures as they read the entire Christie canon in tandem.

Following The Year of Agatha, people often asked what Audrey and Emily are reading now, so The Book & Cover is the answer! In 2020, Blaes and Sarah joined the team to make sure we can share as many good reads as possible.

Our goal is to read and recommend good books, in our own voices and with our own perspective. We’re not here to be book snobs or to issue spoilers, we just want to celebrate books we love, their beautiful covers, and the authors who make it all possible.

We hope this blog inspires you to pick up something new, or share your thoughts on something familiar. Be sure to follow us on social media, where we’ll highlight gorgeous covers, and keep visiting us here to stay up to date on reviews.
