1. The cover of Daytripper is, well, kind of trippy. A man sits on a park bench, with a dog in front of him. Pretty normal so far, right? Except we can see his thoughts, which are presented in watercolor splashes of imagination. There is the precarious love he shares with an adventurous woman, represented by them both standing up in a boat. There is an image of a great modern city. And there is his trusty typewriter. Sure, he uses it for his newspaper job, but he writes about life and death; it's impossible to think about the beginning and the end without considering all the chapters of one's own life, and about what it all means.

  1. The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia, by Masha Gessen. The image is black and white. A person is in a glass booth, and the speaker obscures their face.

  1. St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised by Wolves, by Karen Russell. There are several cover editions, but I like this one best. The home for girls, a large brick multistory building, is presented in the cut-out shape of the side view of a wolf.

  1. Starfish, by Lisa Fipps. The girl on the cover is floating in the pool. She's a big beautiful girl with a big smile and her arms are outstretched to the world.
