Many Covers Monday - The Summer I Turned Pretty


Welcome to Many Covers Monday! Today we're looking at the many different covers of Jenny Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Some summers are just destined to be pretty.

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer -- they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.


 

On the left is the US one. I like it's summery feel but I find the light covering up the guy's face a bit annoying. The right one is just... DAISIES. DAISIES EVERYWHERE.


While I love the French cover (left), I feel that the German cover (right) looks a bit dated and probably wouldn't pick it. The French cover has a nice beach feel to it and I love the shells! The background strongly reminds me of Carrie Ryan's The Forest of Hands of Teeth. I think they would look good together!


The Indonesian cover (right) definitely has the summery feel going on but those headphones combined with that hat makes everything feel a bit nineties! The Dutch cover is something I think I would pick up, despite it saying, 'Oh look, here's my back.'

Which cover do you love? Which do you hate? Share your thoughts below!

    I rarely say this, but the American cover blows all the other covers for this book out of the water. I absolutely ADORE IT.

    My favourite is the French one as I love the shells! I liked the Indonesian one until I noticed the hat... What's with the hat it is suppose to be a book about Summer! Great feature I really enjoyed it :)

Many Covers Monday - ALL THE HARRY POTTER SERIES

Image
After it was not so recently revealed that the classic, original covers were to go out of print and replaced with new, shiny covers, I thought I'd do something crazy this Monday. Harry Potter. But not the first book, no! This Monday I'm showcasing... entire sets of the books. Cool, but a lot of work. And a lot of tabs. These won't just be the covers you know and love, I've included international sets of the books too, which I've never seen before. Not all of the covers are here, but most of them are. (Ignore the random pattern for the last image. I wanted to tile them right) (This post was originally posted back in 2014 and since I'm re-reading the whole series I thought I might as well go for a full Harry Potter week on my blog by sharing my most popular post with new cover sets added. UK - these are the new covers revealed by Bloomsbury recently. These are my favourite covers, I wasn't impressed initially but the amazing covers won

Many Covers Monday: One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

Image
On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention. Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High's notorious gossip app.   Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention, Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn't an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he'd planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who's still on the loose? Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.    UK/US I really love the US cover. It keeps the air of mystery by covering t
