Book Traveling Thursday: Diverse Book

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni and today I am participating in one of my favorite weekly memes, Book Traveling Thursdays. The goal is to pick a book that goes along with the theme given and showcase some of our favorite and least favorite cover editions of that book. This is a weekly meme hosted by Catia at The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle at Shelfies Above Selfies!

This week the theme was a diverse book. This could be taken many ways. A novel could be diverse because it has a diverse cast of characters, has a main character that is of different ethnicity or race that what is common, or features a character or more in the LGBTQ+ area. There are a ton of areas that a novel could be diverse, but I picked a book I (kind of) recently read with a racially diverse character.


That book is....

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon! This novel was a debut novel of 2015 and I absolutely adored it. Maddy, the main character, is racially diverse because she is Afro Asian and not your stereotypical white girl. To be quite honest, I don't remember the last time I have read a novel that had either an Asian or African American main character, let alone a combination of both. That definitely needs to change!

Modern Greek Cover

This cover is beautiful. It was the very first thing that truly stood out when I heard this book and drew me in to reading it. Even when I showed the book to my friends, who don't read that often, they commented on how stunning the cover was as well. I love the use of negative space on the second half of the cover. To me, this cover speaks to me and draws me into the story. I feel like it accurately represents the story as well, because Maddy is literally allergic to everything.

Favorite
Besides the original English cover, I completely love are all the covers that look similar to the original! Every edition has different illustrations, and it is so much fun to inspect them! Other than those three, I also like the Spanish version. The saying says, "Is it true that love changes everything?" The quote fits so well with the book and while it isn't my absolute favorite, I still really like it!

Least Favorite

My least favorite definitely has to be the Czech edition of the book. It has a completely different feel than the other covers and I don't really see how this edition pertains AT ALL to the storyline. If I saw this cover next to the English one, or any others for that matter, I would think that they were two completely different books. 

That's a wrap for today! What cover is your favorite? If you participated in this meme, don't be shy and leave your link down below. I'll be sure to check it out! :)

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!

Happy Reading!
