11 Books with Dark Covers [That are not Mystery]

A collection of dark-covered books that pull you into worlds of magic, danger, and at times chaos, the kind you pick up for the cover… and stay for everything inside.

Hello, dearies!

Following my Blue Covers book challenge, I decided to take a turn at darker tones and hues and check for dark coloured book covers, but, these are not mystery or suspense, but fantasy or magical.

Do you have your bookshelves organised by colour? I do it sometimes.

It was not so easy as you might think to find these 11 books, but I like research, so here’s the list, you can add it to your TBR or collect these books to make your bookshelves look striking or gothic-like. 📖

So Far: New Harry Potter Tv News 2026 Update

Exciting news! The upcoming HBO Harry Potter series is making us take a turn. Set to premiere late 2026, it’s a fresh journey into the magical world we cherish!

Hello, dearies!

Welcome! As some of you are interested in the show, and I will watch it eventually. I thought it was only fair to update you on the latest. The last news I had was more reluctant, giving in to the pressure on my side.

But this time, I have a calmer approach. 🤭

What’s new with the upcoming HBO Harry Potter Tv show?

We have, as far as I have seen and read online, most of the cast. The Weasleys. Harry. Hermione. And I am not sure if all of the professors at Hogwarts, but at least the main ones.

We also have the Quidditch Team! Check out who is who:

Orson Matthews has joined the cast as the spirited and passionate Gryffindor Quidditch team captain, Oliver Wood. He is joined by talented team members, Asha Soetan as the incredible Angelina Johnson, Eire Farrell as the amazing Katie Bell, and Serrana Su-Ling Bliss as the delightful Alicia Spinnet, making for an exciting and dynamic lineup!

I hope that Alicia Spinnet and Katie Bell get more camera time, we knew them well in the books, along with Angelina.

Books to Live Action to actually be excited about

Pride and Prejudice and a fantasy book are getting Live-action screen time. Are you excited? I am! Here is the bookish news.

Hello, dearies!

Welcome to a mini update, and a bookish one that I didn’t know was moving so fast to completion.

There are some movies coming to the big screens this 2026, other than Sunrise on the Reaping that is. We already knew about it, and we are waiting anxiously and excitedly for it.

Mags, Finnick, or Johanna? Who deserves the next Hunger Games book?

Are we finally getting a Finnick Odair or Mags prequel? I am breaking down the latest Hunger Games rumors and exploring which Victor’s era of Panem actually deserves the next book.

Hello, dearies!

Welcome to a rant on The Hunger Games and the upcoming (not official) next books. I am doing this because I saw a post on IG about the ‘rumours’ of Finnick Odair’s prequel book, this is not an official announcement, not one that I have seen at least.

So, I am a seeker, and I immediately went and looked for it to see if Suzanne Collins had made an official announcement about the next book, there is none.

The current one: Sunrise on the Reaping, it is barely getting the movie out this year, if and when (they probably will) announce a new prequel, it might not be for a couple of months, now, if you know something I don’t like an interview of this year or an official news report, let me know, I am all ears and I’ll be happy about it. But no, there is no Finnick book (yet). Talked about it? The production or whoever of The Hunger Games mentioned it, yes, but that’s it.

Now, who would be deserving of this honour? Who would we want to see on the next book prequel? Probably Finnick so we can cry and be completely even more traumatised than we were after Haymitch’s Quarter Quell book, wow, that was rough. Who then? I did the math, and my hopes are as follow.

EachPage Flow: Season 3 so far

3 episodes in and season 3 is already working its way to the second books hype…

Hello, dearies!

So far, the season 3 of the podcast has been slow, sorry about that, there has been a lot going on since last episode.

I was travelling and then my muggle job got in the way, and well, here we are.

If you are an active follower of EachPage Flow, you might know that Season 3 is dedicated to second parts or prequels in sagas (trilogies, book series), and these are the book chats you can find on YouTube and RSS.com as of Jan, 2026. (I’ll upload in Feb).

So… I Made a Patreon

My Patreon is up and running 🙂

Hello, dearies!

If you’ve been following the blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m not usually one for self-promotion. I prefer to let the stories, reviews, and quiet moments speak for themselves. But today, I’m stepping slightly out of my comfort zone.

I’ve opened a Patreon for EachPage and myself, in case you’ve ever wanted to support my work a little more closely and be part of the behind-the-scenes journey.

I’ll leave the link to my first post here, or check out the main welcome page for more below.

Did you hear about Dragon Ball Super Galactic Patrol?

Now set for production is Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, or 銀河パトロール囚人編.

Hello, dearies! 🐉

This an anime related one, and you might not know this one but I am a huge Dragon Ball fan, enthusiast? Whichever you prefer.

I watched DBZ several times, DB Kai even more, even GT at the time (DB from the 80s? Maybe one time), I am more of a Gohan and Vegeta fan to be honest, oh, and of course Super, all the movies and the anime, and the movies again, Broly was also in my radar a couple of times. Super Hero, a little bit.

Daima? I am still working on it. Wow, that was a lot of naming and catching you up on my tastes, and the reason for my excitement!!!

There is the recent announcement of Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, which was introduced at the 40th anniversary celeb of Dragon Ball on January 25 at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri.
