Three book covers. The book on the left is for Scythe and it depicts a person in a red cloak holding a scythe.

This book cover is neon green. In big yellow letters at the very top it says number one best seller. Below that taking up about half the cover is the author's name in white font, James a Michener. The title appears in yellow at the bottom, The drifters. Behind all of the fonts is a tie dye circle and in the middle is a gold peace sign that looks like it a charm on a necklace.

The image shows a box set of two books. Both books appear in a display sleeve. On the outside of the sleeve is the image of a crow. The background in front of its wing is silver and the background behind its wing is gold. The title, The Six of Crows Duology, appears on the side along with the author's name, Leigh Bardugo. On the spine of the book on the left is written in red and says the Six of Crows. It is written vertically, as is the title of the book on the right which is written in white and says Crooked Kingdom. At the bottom of each book cover is what look to be medieval castle like structures or church finials.

The book cover is tones of yellow with a dirt and grime feel. There's a very bright sun or light in the top right corner and the image of skyscraper tops in the distance. In the foreground is the the book title, Wool, in a block font. The letters appear to be made of steel wool. The authors name, Hugh Howey, is in smaller white font. The cover also references this is the Omnibus edition. The whole vibe is very dystopian.
