How does anyone manage to get to work in the mornings?
View of my lap with my cat Sphaera, Grey European shorthair, cuddling on me. Remains of my breakfast can be seen on the coffee table in front of me and I'm still in my pyjamas (fluffy light blue with darker blue outlines of penguins all over)

How a cover can change the vibe dramatically.
Interpretation of the vibes is mine, not knowing anything about the story or author.
Cover of "Someone You Can Build a Nest In" by John Wiswell. The cover is mostly shades of yellow and green, with white text. The title has loops on the capital letters which reminds me of old-timey handwritten text. On the foreground is a forest path with vegetation and mushrooms. In the center are two humanoid characters, one of whom is pointing in the distance to a town in the background. The town has a tall building that could be a church and smaller houses around. They're all brick-coloreds with blue-grey roofs. Fog separates the characters and the town. One character seems to have a tail or tentacle poking out. The general vibe is cozy, of a fantasy story that could be epic fantasy or cozy fantasy, meant for adults or young adults. It's beautiful but reveals very little about the tone of the story or its target audience, although the title implies a positive ending. Cover of "Someone You Can Build a Nest In" by John Wiswell. The cover is red and black with a white title with a scratched out effect. The authors name is in yellow at the bottom. A figure takes most of the cover, behind the title. It's a black shadow, with long floating hair, a witch's hat and tentacles. The triangular shape evokes a cape and distortion from it being a shadow. A huge, toothy grin and eyes shine in yellow from the shadowy figure, making it look insane. I front of that creature stands what looks like a young girl with a lantern, the witch looming behind and over her and dwarfing her. The girl is red and yellow, lit by the lantern, with red tentacles sprouting behind and around her, looking like flames. All around the witch, black cartoony images show books, spiders, hearts and animal skulls. In the foreground in red is a bear trap, a human skull and crossbones, and floating little hearts. The moon is yellow at the top of the page behind the witch hat and there are yellow stars around. The entire thing is seen from below which adds to the creepy, unsettling feeling. The general vibe is scary/horror, possibly meant for a younger audience, with some comedy expressed by the floating hearts and the feel-good title contrasting with the rest of the image. This cover has a lot of personality and would probably attract very different readers compared to the other one.
