Top Ten Young Adult Book Covers

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. The feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists over at The Broke and the Bookish. They'd love to share their lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week they will post a new top ten list that one of our bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All they ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

Top Ten Young Adult Book Covers:

1. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - Seriously? I have an art print of this that my fiance and I just can't wait to hang in our new home. It has everything I love - art, water and super awesome photography! It certainly doesn't hurt that I adore the book either.

2. The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher - I still swear this is one of the most gorgeous books I've ever seen. It's pure art, to be honest. I'd like an art print of this one, too.

3. Harbinger by Sara Etienne Wilson - I think what I love the most about this one is that there is nothing quite like it on the YA market today. Frankly, it's so original that it's the artwork that first caught my eye and sold me on it!

4. Across the Universe by Beth Revis - I didn't love this book, and that's no secret. I thought it fell a bit short of my expectations, but this cover most certainly did not. It's absolutely, positively brilliant...out of this world (wink, wink).

5. Between by Jessica Warman - Talk about a haunting cover. I didn't really get it until I actually took a long, hard look at the cover. It's eerie, off-balance and perfectly illustrates the novel, itself. It's got an understated elegance.

6. Bunheads by Sophie Flack - I first got my ARC at BEA last summer, and the cover is what drew me to it first...a little circle of ballerinas in tutus, and all you saw were the buns on their heads. It's so pretty. I still love it!

7. Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer - This is one of the first books I reviewed on my blog, and it's still one of my favourite covers. It's alive with colour, and it really pops off the shelf. Plus, it's my favourite in the series, too.

8. Wither by Lauren DeStefano - Ok, I know I protest the endless trend of "pretty girls in even prettier dresses," but this one was too good to pass up. I remember being shocked at this cover, and then lusting over it for months. I'm not ashamed.

9. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - So sue me. I know a lot of people don't love these covers, but come on! I think they stand out because they ARE so different. Plus, they're a series, they're perfect for the novels and they look great on my shelf.

10. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - This is by far my favourite Harry Potter cover. I think it's the shades of blue. The art is fantastic as ever, and it looks simply flawless. Plus, it's in line with the darker tone, which is perfect.
