Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

The cover of the book "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins. The background of the cover is a plain beige. The author's name is in a black sans serif typeface at the top of the book. In the center of the front cover is a red square with the image of a white perfume bottle embossed with an image of the Greek god Pan. Inside the red square, the perfume bottle is sitting on a black and white checkered surface and there are black tendrils of scent coming from the top of the bottle. In lighter tan sans serif typeface below the red square is the title of the book "Jitterbug Perfume".

I do I do! This is Scat and she has gentle hardworking librarian vibes but she can let loose with a glass of red wine and a joint, and she tells stories of her younger years that would surprise you. She loves to listen to Norah Jones and Alicia Keys.

Covid and Flu
An unintended consequence of my tree ring tattoo, I've given the pharmacist a target to aim for.
Two people wearing green kn95 masks and showing off dual bandaids on their upper arms from receiving vaccinations. Both people are wearing glasses and a surprised expression with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. The person on the right is wearing a maroon polo shirt. The person on the left is wearing a black tee shirt and has nature-inspired tattoos on their arm, including tree rings near their shoulder. The bandaids are positioned right over the middle of the tree rings, like the pharmacist used the rings as a bullseye for aiming the vaccine needle.

A Bounty of Mantis
A mostly green mantis perching amongst some asters which are not blooming. The mantis is likely a Chinese Mantis. The view is mostly from the side, with the mantis's head turned to face the camera. You can see 2 pinpoint black spots in the eyes of the mantis. The mantis looks like it perhaps knows a secret or has a cheeky riddle to share. A large green mantis clinging to the stem of a sunflower plant. The mantis is likely a Chinese Mantis, and has a rotund abdomen. The view is mostly from the side, and the mantis has turned its head to face the camera. The mantis looks like it is contemplating and calculating potential escape routes from this inconvenient conversation. A green mantis clambering across the gloved hand of a gardener. The mantis is likely a Chinese Mantis. The view is mostly a 3/4 angle, and the mantis is in motion, praying arms stretched out. This mantis looks like it means business and we are interrupting some very important matters. A slender brown mantis on a dried and withered grape leaf. The mantis is likely a male Chinese Mantis. The view is from above, with the mantis facing away from the viewer. This mantis looks completely unbothered by the leering camera behind it.

Pan, covered in sheepskin:
A screenshot of the scene from Despicable Me where Gru says "we are going to steal the moon". The word "steal" has been replaced with the word "fuck", so it reads "we are going to fuck the moon". Gru has furry legs, horns, and a set of pan pipes drawn onto him to make him resemble the Greek god Pan.

I found the grapes in case we're doing Wrath this year. Happy Pride!
A person crouching with a cane in front of rows of grape vines. The person has long green hair, mushroom shaped antennae, elf ears, a funky vest, and customized platform boots. They are making a tongue out grimace face.

Good tidings for our move, they gave us the mushroom uhaul
Uhaul moving truck parked in front of a brick building. Uhaul trucks have fun facts and supergraphics printed on the side. This supergraphic is of a cluster of purple mushrooms with a caption about the "humongous fungus" Armillaria gallica which spans 37 acres in Crystal Falls, Michigan. This occurence was discovered in 1992 and inspired the discover of another "humongous fungus" Armillaria ostoye in the Malheur Forest of Oregon that spans 2385 acres.

I know what happened here
A tree trunk on the side of a hiking trail. Most of the bottom of the trunk is covered in living green moss except for a portion about the size of a dinner plate that is dead and yellow from being the site of dog urination.

Thus bringeth the rain
Probably some kind of mycena, potentially a coprinellus trooping crumble cap. Likely a deer mushroom (Pluteus cervinus) growing near the roots of a tree What we professionals refer to as a "LBM" (Little Brown Mushroom) growing out of leaf litter Likely Eastern American Platterful Mushroom/Broadgill Mushroom (Megacollybia rodmanii) growing near a fallen log

Thank you! The 2 collages were from someone on tiktok who was posting carousels of "whimsigoth" phone backgrounds. My home screen is very on brand for me.
A woodland and meadow scene. In the foreground, a nude woman (presumably a nymph) with an adult satyr playing the flute. In the background, a circle of frolicking young fauns/satyrs dancing in a circle
