I love the PotS and Lament Cover!
Oofah, the Jenna title in translation really does not do it for me.
Yan - The LAMENT cover is even more gorge in person, trust me.
Cuileann - It does feel really clunky...and gives too much away.
I love these - the top 3 covers all look similar.
No requests, but I'm still enjoying these titles. Some of them (like Jenna) are rather literal.
I like that LAMENT cover - I wish I could see it in person to compare it to the original cover.
I love the german cover of Prophecy of the Sisters. ALthough, I really like the US version too, lol.
I love the German covers very pretty.
Those are some GREAT covers! Especially the first three.
ooooh I LOVE Lament's cover... GORGEOUS!
These are wonderful. I love the Prophecy of the Sisters cover, and the one for Lament.
Thanks - this is a lot of fun to see. :)
Love this feature!
Prophecy, Hunger Games and Lament are neato. Love those covers. You have to keep doing this segment - I love seeing all the new covers and the what the titles have changed to.
♥Nely
I definitely prefer the German cover of Prophecy of the Sisters. I really want to read the book but every time I go into the bookstore I get put off by the cover. Hence I'm waiting for the paperback release.
I love this cover post thing you have going on.
I way prefer the German title for The Hunger Games. We should call it that here!
WOW! I love that i can actually read this titles-I feel so cultured ;-D
Great post!
Wow! The Lament cover is beautiful! Love the flash fairy! :)
oh very cool! I still haven't received my author copies. I knew they were using the same cover as the US version but neat to see with the new title. Thanks for sharing, Lenore.
Thanks for doing this again! I love the cover for Prophecy of the Sisters way more than the one in the U.S.
I love the cover of Dairy Queen, and the title, We Cows!
In Australia we usually get the UK covers and the titles are (almost always) the same as the US titles. But recently I've been finding that certain titles just AREN'T being release here--even crazy popular books like Rampant! What might happen is when the US paperback is released, we'll get it here, but still. SOB. Same story with Nothing But Ghosts and Ice by Sarah Beth Durst. Lucky my library imports.
These are FIERCE. I think I like the contemporary covers (Nick and Norah, Boyfriend List, Dairy Queen) the most. They're cute. :D But that is not how I pictured Ruby Oliver. o_O
I love the Lament and PoTS covers too though.
Not a fan of the Jenna Fox title- it's so long. O_O
Thanks for sharing! I missed the first post that you did.
It's really interesting to see those translated titles and different covers. I'll be curiously awaiting the adult titles as well.
Wow, I love seeing these. I like The Hunger Games, and am surprised at some of the German titles (Jenna Fox especially).
I really don't like the Love, Aubrey cover, do you? & I have to get myself a copy of The Host for my collection.. the title is great!
Maybe the lament cover had a spot-varnish fairy shape? If not that is very weird. But cool :)
I love the Dairy Queen cover--so cute! Im also a fan of the E. Lockhart cover and title!
This is a great feature. I love it, Lenore!
Oooooh. I haven't got my author copy of Lament yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. It's so nice to see it in the wild -- I really think the cover fits the mood of the book.
I get how Dairy Queen might not work in German but... We Cows?
What a great idea this is - these covers are so cool.
I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea - find some cool French covers!
What an awesome post! I love seeing how covers change from country to country.
The Dairy Queen cover looks so much fun, especially with that cow-like shirt!
This doesn't have to do with covers, but anyways... So currently you're living in Germany? And is your husband German? Oh, and were you born in Germany? I was curious. lol
thanks
This is so cool Lenore! What do they do with memoirs - like Ted Kennedy's "True Compass"?
Great post! Love looking at the alternate covers (and titles)! Keep it coming!
Yeah for some reason when all those eye book covers are put together it's extremely creepy lol. Interesting pics!
I have passed an award along to you. Yay!
Linzreads - I live in Germany but was not born here. My husband is German, yes.
I loved the first post you did like this one, and so I love this one too! I love to see book covers from everywhere, and see how the titles change, too.
I love the Lament cover!
'Two and the Same - How Much of Me am I?'!?!?!?
lol...my brain can't even process that!
I love seeing these. No requests, but looking forward to more!
my suggestions for adult fic covers i'd like to see:
* Wuthering Heights
* The Lovely Bones by alice sebold
* The Appeal by john grisham
* The Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris
* The Lost Symbol & Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
* Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
* The Handmaid's Tale by M. Atwood
lol, i kinda went crazy with the list, i know, lol
but i got curious!
Oh I thought of one I'd love to see, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland! Maybe Peter Pan?
