Today I finally remembered to bring my camera, so I braved the large German crowd in hall 3.0 to get you the following pictures.
Lightbox with THE HUNGER GAMES (German title: TRIBUTES FROM PANEM: DEADLY GAMES) because I love this cover and want to show it every week.
Bernard Beckett's GENESIS (same title in German)
Very shiny copies of Sarah Rees Brennen's THE DEMON'S LEXICON (German title: THE DEMON'S CIRCLE).
Patrick Ness' CHAOS WALKING: THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO and THE ASK AND THE ANSWER. (German titles: NEW WORLD: THE ESCAPE and THE DARK PARADISE)
Sure seems like you need to have a fantasy/paranormal or dystopia to make it in Germany doesn't it?!

I cannot get over how gorgeous that HUNGER GAMES cover is. I find the DEMON'S LEXICON (DEMON'S CIRCLE) odd though. Something about that silhouette...
I love that cover of the Hunger Games. I got the UK Special edition one and i looks like a book for a 5 year old. That is just lush, as is The Demons Lexicon cover. Hope your having fun
I know!! I want to buy a copy just so I can look at it ALL DAY LONG!!
I think the German cover of Hunger games is WAAAAAAY better than the one I've seen. In fact, the first thing I thought when I saw the US cover was "ew" If I hadn't read all of the good reviews....I probably wouldn't of picked it up!
That is a gorgeous cover for Hunger Games! The UK cover stinks...I have US copies because I hate them so much! HA ha! I can't wait to hear about your time! I'm jealous!
I love the covers.
The Hunger Games cover is very cool! I like the US one but the German one is awesome.
THE DEMON'S LEXICON cover: WOW! So much better than the US one! :)
Beautiful covers..wow! I'm even more excited now that my book is being translated into German. Must say I think the Demon's Circle is a better name than the Demon's Lexicon - I spent the whole book wondering where the Lexicon would come into it (until I was distracted by the totally fabuklous ending!)
These look so great, thanks for sharing them with us! I absolutely love seeing those!
I have to agree that The Hunger Games cover is really gorgeous, it reminds me a little of Westerfeld's Uglies.
What a great post - and holy wow, how I love the Hunger Games German cover. I also love my own shiny, shiny German cover, and will admit I have been known to check my lipstick in it.
Thanks for sharing these! I love seeing the German covers. The Demon's Lexicon one is particularly gorgeous!
I love seeing these other covers. Do other European countries have their own too?
Australia just gets the UK ones. You know, cos we're EXACTLY the same as the Motherland :D
Sarah - It would be very useful for checking your make-up!
Rhi - Oh yes! Most countries do their own. I remember seeing a gallery of different Hunger Games covers. Google it!
Wow! The Hunger Games cover looks great!
Thanks for the translations. I will go to Germany one day and pick up some books. I really do want to learn German at some point.
I like the Hunger Games one!
It's so interesting to see what the cover/genre trends are in different countries.
I love the cover for The Hunger Games! It's very visually arresting!
I would have loved to be at this festival...those covers and posters look fantastic.
