Day Seven: Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey

Green gold tones. This is the Michael Whelan cover. Features a huge golden dragon soaring across the cover, with the tiny figure of a woman in white, with dark hair. The dragon is flying by mountain terrain, and her head is just overlapping a large red planet. Her jaws are open, as if she's roaring. Title is in white, in a fancy all caps font. Author's name is in yellow just below it.

    Day Five: Godstalk by P.C. Hodgell

    Cover is mostly in dark colors. The scene is a temple. In the background is an indistinct winged statue sitting in an alcove. In the foreground, two figures are framed by two pillars, in a way that's slightly claustrophobic. One figure is a young woman in a dancing pose. Her arms are out flung and her cloak is spread out like a pair of wings. at her feet is an old man wearing a robe, and clutching a book in his arms. He is sitting up, leaning against the pillar, and cringing away from the dancer. At the old man's feet is a smoking brazier.
