Many Covers Monday - Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Today we're looking at the many different covers of Neal Shusterman's Unwind. Some are rejackets and others are foreign language covers.

 Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.
The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and to survive.


 (US/US - I think) *presses hands creepily against some sort of glass* I do like the thumb print though. It's not obvious and then suddenly, huge thumb.


(Italian/Polish) More hands, once again with the giant thumb print. I like the Polish cover, it sums up the book very well.


(French) *presses finger creepily against some sort of glass* We also have the return of the thumb print although it's even less obvious now. That other cover is the most 90's thing I have ever seen.

(German/Catalan) The German cover looks like a zombie tale no? The rusted metal with blood is often seen in zombie art I've found. The second one is effing terrifying nope, You'll never see that on my shelf.


(Indonesian/Spanish) Creepy floating heads amidst medical instruments and Don't Go In The Toilet. Joking aside I really like the Spanish cover. The font is hella cool.

Which cover was your favourite? Did you feel they fit well with the book? Let me know in the comments!

    That Polish one is quite freaky...I'm torn. I think I DO like the English cover the best. But there's also these black and yellow ones that are soooo cool. I didn't realise this wasn't actually a trilogy till the other day. There's like a 4th book! AWESOME.

    These are AMAZING! I love this series, so this is extra interesting. The Polish one is pretty fantastic, even though it is definitely scary.

    I like the 2 US covers best, definitely favoring the 1 you chose.

    That Catalan cover is definitely weird.

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

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
