Hosted each week by The Broke and the Bookish, it's a meme for listing the top ten for everything bookish.
So, it's been awhile since I've done a Top Ten (or anything on this "blog" to be honest), but school is FINALLY out-of-session! This means that I actually have time to do this stuff.
Today my Top Ten will be "YA Cover Trends"
These are the type of covers that you will most likely always see in the YA section.
I will try to keep this post recent, with 2012's and 2013's, but others may sneak in...
P.S. If this post looks kind of random, that's because it is. I was literally taking whatever covers that fit the criteria off of my Goodreads shelves and posting them here...
1. The Girl in the Pretty Dress
2. Close-up
3. Caught Texting
4. Twins/Clones
5. Talk to the Back
6. Heads are for losers!
6. I'm Walking Here!
7. Random (or Seemingly Random) Objects
8. Body Parts
9. I Live in Such a Happy Place!
10. The Lay Down
Okay, I was having way too much fun with this, and I could probably go on and on with this...
What YA cover trends have you noticed?
Brilliant post! I hadn't noticed all of these trends until you put them all together like that. The pretty dresses one seems to have been around for a looooooooonng time now though, as much as the covers are pretty I'm starting to get a bit bored with it now.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday is my favourite books of 2013 so far:

This post is one of my favorites I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI love how you put it together and how striking the images are.
Great TTT.
Happy Reading!

This is such a fantastic post! I'm a sucker for so many of these trends--especially girl in a pretty dress, but the close-up, the lay down, heads are for losers. Pretty much all of them. Cover love!!!

Wow! some of those look really interesting...
ReplyDelete**poens Goodreads** haha
thanks for sharing!
I love what you called trend 6 "Heads are for losers!" Whenever I read a book that has such a trendy sort of cover I always imagine a million different covers that would have looked better for it. Great idea for a top ten!
ReplyDeleteI loved how you went back and dis some of th earlier ones. Great idea! I may have to steal it :P
