2. Abundance

Derek Thompson

Ezra Klein

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ A quietly earnest cover that hints at global solutions — but fails to make us curious enough to open the book.

4. I’ll Have What She’s Having

Chelsea Handler

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ A glitzy, chaotic cover that screams Chelsea Handler first and a book title second—if you love her, you’re in; if not, there’s nothing here to make you want to pick the book up.

5. The Art of the SNL Portrait

Array

Rating: ★★★★☆ A bold, eye-catching cover that immediately grabs our attention with its surreal humor—though the illustration style makes us wonder if it truly represents the photography inside.

6. The Body Keeps the Score

Bessel van der Kolk

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ It might be a life changing book, but nothing on its cover suggests that. 

7. The Anxious Generation

Jonathan Heidt

Array

Rating: ★★★★ An unsettling but striking cover that pulls you in with anxiety-inducing imagery and a subtitle that packs a punch.

10. The House of My Mother

Fari Franke

Array

Rating: ★★★★★ A simple but powerful cover that suggests a personal journey of escape and self-discovery. The torn photograph adds an element of mystery, making us eager to uncover what happened in The House of My Mother.
