Mascot Name Reveal!

Art by Anna Smith

Welcome to 2026, everybody! Bookshelved is back after our short hiatus, and we're prepared to kick off the year with an exciting announcement. The votes are in, and we finally have a name for our mascot, the cute little black cat that you see above.

Drumroll please...

DUSTJACKET!!!

Out of five final contestants, 'Dustjacket' won by over half the votes! Hopefully, we'll be doing some more mascot-themed stuff in the near future, but for now, we're content with our cute little cat on the podcast cover and the awesome name you guys picked for us. Catch you next time! Happy listening x
