This is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, but currently run by Lynn’s Book Blog.
“Choose one of your favorite titles and compare the covers.”
This weeks theme: Freebie
Obviously Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book, but Goodreads has almost 5,000 editions for it, and I am still on vacation, so I am going to randomly pick a book from the books I’ve read this year using a random number generator.
My Choice: Wonder
Covers:
Alfred A. Knop 2012 | RHCP Digital 2012 | Doubleday 2012 | 親子天下文化 2012
Edições Asa 2012 | Atria 2012 | Transworld Publishers 2013 | Розовый жираф 2013
Querido 2013 | Hanser Verlag 2013 | Intrínseca 2013 | Fleuve Noir 2013
Ikar 2013 | Pocket Jeunesse 2013 | แพรวเยาวชน 2014 | Jumava 2014
Könyvmolyképző 2014 | Dereta 2015 | Vivat 2016 | Nube de Tinta 2016
Albatros 2017 | Intrinsica 2017 | Alma littera 2017 | Pikola 2018
Least Favorites:
The third one like an adult not a middle schooler, and the first two, just look like normal kids, which the main character is not.
Favorites:
I’m torn about the first cover. I don’t like it all that much, but it is very iconic, so because of that its the one I associate with the book.
Winner:
I love this cover! Even tho he is wearing a helmet you still get the impression he is gazing at the sky in wonder. And the detail reflected in the helmet is amazing.
Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!
I used this for a different prompt one week, and I actually picked the same favorite as you! Great choice:-)

I like the one you chose too. I was not surprised to see the Ikar 2013 version in your “Least Favorites”, when I saw that, I was like, wtf, it makes it look like a horror novel!

That first one is definitely iconic! When I think of Wonder, I automatically think of that particular cover. 😅 I agree with the leas favorites – they don’t capture the element of the story as well as the others.

It is very iconic! That is the one I think of too. They have even made it into apparel and stuff! But ignoring the fact that it is the most iconic I like the other ones better haha
