A deep navy book cover with yellow and white accents. There is a white moon in the center of the book, with a faceless woman in navy, spreading her yellow wings. Within her outline is the figure of a man, in pale yellow and white. The woman has a coil of yellow hair on top of her head and trailing down one shoulder. Beneath her is the title in yellow font: Wild Seed. And beneath that the subtitle in pale yellow: A Patternist Novel. Across the top is the words: New York Times Bestselling Author and the author's name in large white letters: Octavia E. Butler. To the right of the woman and the moon is a little gold disc with a quote from Viola Davis: "Epic, game-changing, moving, and brilliant."

I fell off and I fell off hard but here's the halfway mark 10/20. To all the dragon kids 🥂😘. I remember waiting weeks for this one to arrive by mail order catalog, then rushing out to clamber on top of my mother's car to read it. #BookSky #Books #BookChallenge #20daybookchallenge #dragons
The photo is of a physical book cover. The cover is dark red and matte, almost with the appearance of aged paper. There is an even darker red shiny outline of a dragon with a celtic knot beneath its paw. This dragon is wrapping itself around a circle in the center of the cover. The circle is rimmed in grey with runes along the edges, interspersed with equidistant green circular gems that rise from the page three dimensionally. Within the circle is another dragon. This one is green and in flight, breathing orange fire and leering down at a vast green expanse with mountains and trees and a little river down the center. The base of the circle says "COMPLETE BOOK OF DRAGONS." There are little dragons at both the top and bottom right-hand corners, bracketing the opening of the book. They have the appearance of metal door moldings and are greenish grey in color.

The image is a bright blue book cover. The author's name Jerry Spinelli is at the top center in all capital yellow letters. Dead center is a yellow star that looks sketched in thick crayon or marker (think MS paint). Just below the star is a green stick figure girl drawn in the same style. Below her is some black type that says A New York Times Bestseller.

The image is an ebook cover. The background is grey but is almost totally obscured by ghostly white dogs racing across the page. Standing in their midst is a girl in a reddish-brown coat and grey pants. She is slight of stature with cool-toned brown skin and black shoulder-length hair that is being whipped to one side by all the rushing dog spirits. Her face is calm as though she is at ease in the chaos. The title of the book is in blue green cursive script right in the center: Elatsoe. At the bottom is script that matches the girl's jacket and spells out: Darcie Little Badger - Illustrations by Rovina Cai.

A dark blue book covered in nature sketches that are etched all the way across. The dark blue gives way to bright orange and teal in the wake of a girl's bow. The girl has tawny skin and long brown hair tied in a green ribbon. She wears a green tunic with gold etching that matches the sketches all around her. She has brown breeches and brown, knee high, laced boots. She is in a crouched position with her profile turned to us and a strung bow with a notched arrow aimed at the edge of the book we would open. Her expression is determined. In the upper right hand corner the book's title and author appear in cold and copper script. Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce.

Day 6/20:
A book cover with the title printed in large red font at the top: The Phoenix Dance, and below in slightly smaller but still red font the author's name: Dia Calhoun. The cover has an illustrative drawing of a young woman front and center. She has white skin, long wavy brown hair, and rosy cheeks. She is wearing a period dress with pinkish red puffy sleeves and a tan corset with white silk around the shoulders. In her hands she holds a white or silver heeled shoe and a needle with thread that she is using to sew long white ribbons onto the shoe. She is seated at a table that is strewn with sketches of shoe designs and the various bobbles that go on them like feathers, beads, pearls, and broaches. Behind her there are two phoenixs. One of them cowers low in the shadows, while the other rises bright and fiery. The background is dreamlike and multicolored with faint sparkles throughout.

A book cover with a bright green gradient. A golden dragon flies across the cover, its wings filling the page. A young woman with light skin and long brown hair is riding on the dragon's back between its shoulder blades. She has her hand raised but her face is too small to make out an expression. A fiery planet rises in the background, over the crest of craggy mountains. The mountains appear faded or misty, as if the air is filled with smog or dust. The title is in large white script across the top: Dragonflight. Just beneath that is the author's name in black: Anne McCaffrey. Also in black type are the words: Volume 1 of the Dragonriders of Pern.

An audiobook cover with thick purple borders on the top and bottom. The center is black with a black and white photograph of a man's head, neck, and shoulders. He is a white man with dark scruffy facial hair and some dark curls cut short. He is leaning back with his eyes closed, holding a silver cross in his mouth. The cross is on a chain that's around his neck. He is partially cast in shadow but a light shines down from some where up and to the left. The book's title is in large purple letters at the top: Saint. There are smaller purple letters to the left that read "Narrated by Sean Crisden and Jacob Morgan. There are white letters at the bottom that read "USA Today Bestselling Author Sierra Simone." And finally, there is some small white script closer to the top that says "Lead us not into temptation."

An ebook cover with a green gradient and three birds flying across it. Two of the birds face right and the one at the top is facing left. All three are dark in color with small pops of white, red, and olive. They are 3/4 turned so that only one eye is visible for each. They dip and flow through the book's title in large white script: Sing, Wild Bird, Sing. The author's name is below in slightly smaller yellow script: Jacqueline O'Mahony.

A well worn paperback novel sitting on a brown background. The cover has a human hand bursting out of dry ground, grasping a bright green apple. The apple and the hand are underneath a white tent and above the tent is a glowing red orb with rays shooting from it. On the right side there is a red figure incased in a bubble and on the left there is a blue figure encased in a bubble. Stars rain from a dark sky onto a desolate planet as the backdrop. The author's name appears in bold white text at the top: C.S. Lewis. The title is just below in the same font: Perelandra. A small synopsis of the book is given: The second book in a celebrated space trilogy which begins in Out of the Silent Planet and is concluded in The Hideous Strength.
