eight books placed on a table, all of which meet the prompt criteria to various degrees, most of which also satisfy one of the two bonus prompts (lgbtqia2+ author or characters, themes of isolation). titles: All That's Left in the World by Erik J. Brown, Strange Pictures by Uketsu, Eat the Ones You Love by Sarah Maria Griffin, Swordheart by T. Kingfisher, Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel, King and the Dragonflies by Kacen Callender, Awake in the Floating City by Susanna Kwan, and Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc.
The cover for Emily Tesh's newly released fantasy novel, The Incandescent. The cover has a dark background and a gleaming golden line drawing of a phoenix in the foreground.
Part of the invitation to subscribe to the Broken Binding sci-fi subscription box which details the new edition of Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. A mockup appears for the dust jacket which depicts someone holding and looking at a scrap of fabric, a green pastoral landscape appears in the background. The reverse of the dust jacket depicts the same scene but now the cover is mostly dark blacks and purples, the land in the background is desolate and bleak but the image of the person in the foreground with the scrap of fabric remains the same. The final mockup is of the jacketless book which reveals a gold foil design with an hour glass as it's focal point. The fore-edge design of the book echoes the foiled bare cover with a stained glass motif. Below the book the endpaper artwork is revealed showing the mix of future and outdated technologies: a broken down wagon is being studied by a group of scientists huddled around computers and a group of investigators shine flashlights on an ancient murder scene.
The list of categories in odd's SinceTimer app: "05 / new & ultra sensitive (24)," "06 / sensitive creatures (17)," "08 / cacti & friends (26)," "10 / syngonium city (20)," "11+ / philos live here (22)." The first number represents the maximum ideal number of days a plant can go without water, a title for the group follows, and the number trailing in parentheses represents the number of plants in that category.

The gaming version of the 2025 Odd Lot Bingo Challenge board. It has a yellow/pink/blue gradient in the background and most of the space is taken up by a 5 by 5 grid of rectangles that contains the title of each prompt (the document linked in the post contains the names and details of these prompts). The name of the challenge appears next to the grid along with "<3 oddrots" at the bottom. The entire image is surrounded by a black border.
the book "In Our Stars" by Jack Campbell, the cover is mostly teal and salmon pink and depicts two figures in space suits (without helmets on): one stands defiantly, one is running with what I assume is a white space gun but looks more like a modem/router. in the background, stars dot the sky around a planet which seems to be disintegrating and action lines streak from the center of the cover
the book "Service Model" by Adrian Tchaikkovsky, the cover is mostly green and black and depicts the silhouette of a robot servant holding a tray with a tea pot and cup in one hand. the foreground is also in shadow but seems to consist mostly of debris, in the background a moon rises in the sky between large buildings that look similarly derelict
the book "The Tainted Cup" by Robert Jackson Bennett, the cover is mostly black with gold illumination around the edges and depicts a goblet on its side with flowers bursting from it, the flowers each have a skull at their center. green ivy seems to grow from the spine of the book
the book "The Fireborne Blade" by Charlotte Bond, the cover depicts someone wearing armor with a dark cape swirling behind them, they are standing, presenting a blade to the reader, holding it from both ends. in the background a large, platinum-colored dragon peers towards the reader with one golden eye, its tail swirling around the boulders the figure stands upon
the book "The Warded Gunslinger" by Filip Wiltgren, the cover depicts a desert scene with a cloaked figure in the foreground with glowing blue runes on their back and an old-timey six shooter in their hand. they walk through rippled sand towards some sort of space craft sitting in the background
the book "The Bright Sword" by Lev Grossman, the cover is mostly blue with a drawing of a black sword at the center which appears to be emerging from water, it passes through a light gold crown and black deer antlers seem to emerge from the sword. stars dot the blue background and the entire cover is encircled by black foliage
the book "The Lost Story" by Meg Shaffer, the cover has a dark blue background and has an artful drawing of an old tree with red bark and green leaves and a large door at its base, a red crow flies beneath a moon that shines down upon the entire scene
the book "My Darling Dreadful Thing" by Johanna Van Veen, the cover is mostly black and depicts a gothic styled veiled person with a floral crown
A hand holding a small, three-leafed Monstera Deliciosa in a clear plastic nursery pot. Many THICC roots visibly snake through the soil. A plant stand with many more plants can be seen in the blurred out background.
