Top Ten Tuesday--Favorite YA Book Covers

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a topic in which you pick your top ten favorites from.

This weeks top ten is all about my favorite young adult book covers! I'm having these all be the American covers. They are in no particular order.

1. The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling:
I am madly in love with these covers. I love how they are painted and not done on photoshop or any other device. It's art in it's purest form.

2. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare:
Look how pretty it is! With all its metalic colors, and the London background, and of course the cute guy on the cover.

3. Wither/Fever by Lauren DeStefano:
This series has the most gorgeous covers ever! I love love love love how you can tell this photoshoot was taken for this series and this series alone. It has so many elements from the book in it. So pretty.

4. Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins:
I love the model they picked for Lola. She is perfect as Lola, with the big eyes and all that. Plus all the pastel colors are so pretty.

5. Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins:
I love how all the covers have the split personality look and how they are all the same design, but completely different.

6. The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa:
When I first saw this cover, I just sat there and stared at it for a good 5 minutes straight. It's just so pretty, with all the blues and the hott guy on the cover.

7. Nightshade by Andrea Cremer:
This cover is gorgeous and the original cover for the second book was even more beautiful. Too bad they went and messed it all up with the new ugly covers.

8. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer:
I love the symbolism. Plus these are just classey covers.

9. Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves:
Bloody tea cups? Awesome! It reminds me of the dark Alice In Wonderland art. I love this cover so much that I did a painting of it that is now hanging on my wall.

10. Rich and Mad by William Nicholson:
Making out in a phone booth? Love it!

Other note worthy covers:

Far From You by Lisa Schroeder:
This is the paperback cover and is so freaking pretty. I absolutely love it.

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson:
What's not to love about this cover?

Entwined by Heather Dixon:
Look at the dress! And the castle! Ah!

  6. It was a combination of the covers for The Infernal Devices and so many great reviews that made me get Clockwork Angel :) Also, I totally agree with you on the Nightshade covers and was especially disappointed with the change they made. Thank you for sharing!

I love getting comments! I'm always checking to see if I have any new comments. It's actually pretty sad how often I check for them really. So if there is anything you want to say about a post of mine, please say it! I want feedback :)

As of lately, I'm making the blog a no-award blog. I love getting them and I'm always honored, but I don't have the time to do all the things that are required of them. Sorry :(
Also, my "reply" button does not seem to be working in my comments on my computer. I have to use a different computer to reply back so if I don't reply, it's not because I'm rude, it's just that I can't.
