Book cover for The Homework Myth by Alfie Kohn. Subtitle ks Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing. Picture of a child with his head down on the desk, while holding a pen over a book.
Two pane comic strip. The top is a picture of a green iguana on a branch. There is a smaller iguana on its back that is rainbow colored. The text says “If you can’t accept and love a queer kid” The bottom pane is a green iguana on a branch by itself. The text says “Don’t have kids”
Book cover for this is how it always is by Laurie Frankel. The background is blue and meant to be the sky. The bottom 5% of the cover is black and made to look like the ground. The black silhouette of a person is standing on the ground and has a hand-drawn outline of Buttefly wings on their back. The outline is yellow. The title is in white in a handwritten script font. Each word is on its own line. The title is centered over the person and takes up the top 75% of the cover. On each side of the title, it looks like there are 2 quoted endorsements. On the right, toward the bottom is a white circle that is yellow in the middle. It is meant to look like a sticker. It says Reece’s Book Club.
Book cover for The Alchemy of Talent: Leading Teams to Peak Performance by Vijay Pendakur. The background is solid white. The author’s name is at the top in black letters. A chemistry beaker is the main focus of the cover. It is glass with a narrow neck and is wider at the bottom. The liquid fills the beaker to about half way. The liquid is a mix of sunset colors: mostly pinkish red with a bit of yellow in the bottom left. Towards the bottom right, the liquid is mostly blue-ish purple. The book title “The Alchemy of Talent” is centered in the middle of the cover in black ink and is superimposed across the top 60% of the beaker. Each of the four words is on a different line. The words Alchemy and Talent are larger and stretch across the middle 70% of the cover. The subtitle “Leading teams to peak performance” is in white letters superimposed on the colorful liquid in the beaker.
Book cover for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. There is a solid black background and the entire cover is taken up by the title and author’s name. The letters are gold. There are several stars mixed in to the title and the stars are connected with lines. It sort of looks like a constellation.
Book cover for The Kitchen Counter Cooking School by Kathleen Flynn. Subtitle: How a few simple lessons transformed nine culinary novices into fearless home cooks. The cover has a white background. The authors name is centered at the top. Below that is the title and then the subtitle. The bottom 1/3 of the cover has a kitchen counter with a chef behind it and two women sitting on the sides, across from each other. They are both wearing aprons and looking at the chef. The chef is in a white coat with two rows of buttons and a blue hat. The woman on the left is wearing tan Omar’s and a green shirt. The woman on the right is wearing black pants and a pink top. The women are sitting on tall barstools. The chef is holding a knife in one hand. She is holding something else in the other hand but I can’t tell what it is. Around the top and side borders are many kitchen tools and food: carrot, rolling pin, strainer, spatula, grater, measuring cups and spoons, onion, eggplant, radish, and a few others I’m not sure what they are. On the front of the kitchen counter is black text that says “from the author of The Sharper your Knife the less you cry.”
On the right side there is a Christmas tree decorated with red ornaments and white lights. There is a red and white tree skirt underneath. To the left of the tree is a living room. There are two chairs. In the chair closest to the tree, there is a black and white cat curled up and sleeping. Behind the tree all the way to the left, you can see a tall plant growing up the wall. Behind the chairs is a window with tall white curtains.
View from a balcony. The sun is just coming up. You can see the rooftops of several buildings and a tall spire in the background. The buildings are still mostly in the dark. The sky is a lovely pinkish-peach color. There are lots of clouds. The clouds at the top of the photo are grey and white.
Screenshot of the weather in Doha, Qatar. Temperature is 74 degree Fahrenheit which is is 24 degrees Celsius. The feels like temperature is 72 degrees Fahrenheit/ 22 degree Celsius. There is a picture of a cloud with curved lines underneath intended to represent wind. There is a funny quote that says “It’s so windy, I just saw a squirrel hang gliding.”
Book cover for Zeitoun by Dave Eggers. The cover is only white, black, grey, and a sand color. The background is a neighborhood that is flooded. There is a man in a canoe, facing us, who is paddling through the neighborhood. The sky is grey and white. There are building on either side of him, in the background. The buildings are sand colored. There is a sticker on the cover that says “National Best Seller. From the author is What is the What”
A Siamese cat curled up in a circle, while laying on someone’s lap. The person is lying on a couch and is wearing a green Tshirt and dark pants. There is a tan blanket next to them.
Book cover. A white woman is walking away from us. She is wearing a navy blue coat that is knee-length. She is carrying a leather bag that looks like an old-fashion doctor’s bag. There are buildings on the right side of the cover and it looks like she is walking on a brick road or path. Superimposed on top of her is the dial ring of an old rotary phone. It has the numbers and letters in each finger hole. It is partially transparent so it does not block the picture of the woman. Superimposed on top of that is the book title Looking for Jane. Basically, there are three layers to the book cover. The bottom is the woman walking away, the middle is the rotary phone dial, and the top is the title. I am new at alt descriptions. Please leave me feedback on how I could improve.
Book cover of Nurture Shock by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. Picture of an egg on its side with a crack down the middle. The crack runs from top to bottom. There is a tan bandage across the crack. The title NurtureShock is on the bandaid in black letters. Underneath the egg is the subtitle “New thinking about children”.
Book cover for The Farm by Joanne Ramos. Black background and three shapes that mirror a pregnant woman’s belly. Each shape is a different color: yellow, orange, and light teal.
Book cover for Cutting for Stone By Abraham Verghese An orange yellow sky fills most of the cover. The text is black with the author’s name at the top and the book title in the middle. At the bottom it looks like two children running on land. Both the children and the land are the same shade of black and look more like a silhouette than a picture.
Book cover of The Read-Aloud Handbook By Jim Trelease. Shows a man reading to two children. They are sitting on a pile of books.

Book cover of Orphan Island by Laurel Snyder
A picture of Wonder Woman. Text says “I didn’t write Wonder Woman but if you want to argue that she is somehow not a queer or trans icon, then you’re not paying attention. Every time someone comes up to me and says that WW helped them while they were closeted, it reminds me of how special the role is. Quote by Linda Carter

Picture of a Bengal cat sleeping on the couch, covering her eyes with her Paw.
