We’re saying goodbye to Substack (but not to you)

Under the Covers is moving and here’s how to stay in touch

Dec 13, 2025

Hey friend,

This is the last post you’ll get from us here on Substack.

We’ve removed the paywall, packed up our digital bookshelves, and officially moved the party back home to underthecoversbookblog.com.

That includes our Book Vault, which will now available for free (and in digestible pieces) right here on the blog. It’s still a work in progress, but the good stuff is coming. Think of it like opening the vault door slowly, one treasure at a time.

If you want to keep getting our bookish content including new releases, trope recs, genre rabbit holes, seasonal reading guides… come join our newsletter fam:

👉 Sign up here

This new setup lets you subscribe to just what you want, besides the weekly roundup email with everything happening in the UTC (and book) world.

You can also opt-in to:

New releases
Genre-specific updates (Dark/Gothic, Paranormal/Fantasy, Contemporary, Historical, Mystery/Thriller)
Romanceopoly Reading Challenge updates (fill out this separate form for that)
A 2026 deep-dive email series into romance genres, tropes and more. Join the waitlist! We’re starting in January.

And if you want to chat books with other Romanceopoly readers, we’ve got a Discord now too:
👉 Join here

You might still catch me dropping random thoughts in Notes, but if you’ve ever loved what we do here: the deep dives, the lists, the fangirling… come with us. Sign up here

And one last time, we want to thank you for being part of the Under the Covers journey with us and sharing your love of reading and books with us every day.

x Francesca
