A mostly blue book cover. The image is a snowy scene with a parent and child in the snow silhouetted against a full moon rising (or is it setting?). The parent is reaching up to help the child carefully walk down a gentle slope. A bare tree is on the right side of the page and framing the words (also in blue) Owl Moon. There is a Cadelcott medal on the bottom right above the words "by Jane Yolen, illustrated by John Schoenherr".

A book cover for The Lost City of Z, typed in white block letters in the center of the page. The words look like they are being grown over by trees and vines from the rainforest photograph that makes up the background picture. A red box is positioned next to the Z reading: A tale of deadly obsession in the Amazon.

A book cover with an orange background, the color of fire with some areas darker orange-red with other areas going to light yellow. Upon closer inspection you see it is a colorized picture looking out to towards the ocean with waves and rocks on the bottom and clouds in the sky. The bottom of the cover, under the Giller prize long-list sticker, looks like it was been singed in a fire. There is a red kite flying behind the title that looks like it was branded into the book: We'll All Be Burnt in our Beds Some Night A novel. Joel Thomas Hynes. In the top right corner is another sticker for the winning the Governor General's Literary Awards and Canada's Council for the Arts.

💙📚
A read textured book cover. The texture could be gauze but in some areas it looks like the lines in tile glue before they put the tile on. There are line drawings of two outlaw cowboys pointing their guns at the viewer. The right-handed one is on the left side and the left-handed one is one the right side. The barrel of the gun and the outlaw's hands are in white. Drawn on each face is an eye with the whites of the eyes filled in red. The cowboy hat covered heads of the outlaws aren't attached to the bodies making the moon behind them look like a skull with the two small triangles in-between where their necks would be. Underneath in sans serif capital letters in a font that looks like a stamp was used to make the letters it reads: The Sisters Brothers. In smaller letters underneath reads A novel, Patrick deWitt

A book cover with white sans serif capital letter font: V. Castro The Queen of the Cicadas. In slightly small letters of the same style underneath it says: La reina de las chicharras. The image behind is in teal and red. The top of the image looks like sky with a woman in red silhouette the bottom looks like a reflection but the woman looks like she has cicada wings. There are some other words on the page but they are too blurry to read.

A book cover with a lime green background. The image is in the middle of the book and is a dead blackbird laying on its back with a red one penny postage stamp with a young Queen in cream with details down in red. The title of the book reads in black letter: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. The short words are in a handwritten script and the long words are in a serif font with capital letters. A Flavia de Luce Mystery is written under the picture in the same handwritten script as the short words in the title. Alan Bradley's name is at the bottom in black in a capital letter serif font as well. The blurb on the bottom of the book in white reads "Wonderfully entertaining... sure to be one of the most loved mysteries of the year... [Flavia is] a delightful intrepid, acid-tongued new heroine." -Chicago Sun-Times

I am in New York, no VPN on my phone. Even if I search for Gulf of America it corrects to Gulf of Mexico:
A screenshot from Apple maps search showing Gulf of America in the search bar and suggestions underneath. The top suggestion reads Gulf of Mexico. Under that is Gulf of America Outfitters, Gulf Shores, AL, Gulfport, MS, Gulf Coast.

An orange book cover with an embroidered noose hanging just inside the frame so we only see the loop and the knot. Inside the circle of the noose is a woman casually sitting on the rope in sillhouette, with one hand resting on her lap and the other supporting her, sitting on the rope beside her. She is dressed in early 1800s working dress and we can see her sensible shoes just below the hem of her dress. Her hair is covered in a white bonnet. Below, in black, are the words Alias Grace, written in a script that feels handwritten from a different time. Margaret Atwood's name is in white in captial letters in a serif font. At the very bottom is the word Bloomsbury in significantly smaller letters.

A book cover with a faded green background stained on wood. The grain of the wood is showing through at the top in yellow with the green stain becoming stronger at the bottom of the image. At the bottom there is a green hill with the sillhouttes of 4 stick people with their hands outstretched. floating above their heads are curved lines with smaller lines poking out of the top. Are they hats? Maybe halos? Above the people in the sky is a coyote outline in red facing left. Inside a human head is facing right with a hand floating over the back. The title at the top is Green Grass Running Water and Thomas King is written at the bottom.

A book with a cream background and a picture of a hand drawn map of London. It is hard to see in the picture, but the map is made of writing and drawings of the main buildings. There is a red splotch over the area labelled Covent Garden. We can see a red line moving through the map and on closer inspection can see that it is a river because the bridges are visible on top in black and white. At the top we see Ben Aaronovitch in black sans serif letters with Rivers of London in red stylized letters underneath. The blurb on the front reads "What would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Fuzz" Diana Gabaldon.

A picutre of the book Ishmael a novel by Daniel Quinn. Author of The Story of B with a new foreward by the author. The picture on the cover is a branch of tear drop shaped green leaves in front of what looks like a orange sun at sunset. The background of the cover is beige with a green stripe at the top. There is a small circle on the right that says 25th anniversary edition. The blub at the top states "A thoughtful, fearlessly low-key novel about the role of our species on the planet... laid out for us with an originality and a clarity that few would deny" - The New York Times Book Review
