Hello, welcome back to another Book Traveling Thursdays, which a weekly meme created by Cátia @The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle @Danielle’s Book Blog. The goal is to share the covers of a book related to that week’s theme, which you can see at the Goodreads group, indicating the original cover, the one of your country, your favorite and least favorite.
This week’s theme is “Because we’re never too old to believe in Fairytales choose your favorite re-telling!!“. This week I’m gonna go with The Lunar Chronicles! My favorite of TLC is Cress, because CRESS, but I decided to use Cinder for today’s book. Cinder was the first, so even though it’s not my favorite, it holds a place in my heart.
Original COver:
This is such an easily recognizable cover and I really really like it.
COVER FROM MY COUNTRY (PORTUGAL) & COVER FROM THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN (SPAIN):
I can’t quite believe that this series is translated to Portuguese, my mind still can’t process… though I admit that I hate the portuguese cover, it’s pretty bad. The Spanish edition is quite beautiful, and the Catalan one is similar to the original one, but with a crystal shoe… they went for the complete fairy tale here.
Favorite COVER(s):
I think my favorite editions are still the original ones, but I love the Thai one, it’s gorgeous really. Then I love the simplicity of the German edition. And the Spanish is amazing, the only bad thing is that it doesn’t quite show the cyborg parts as well as some of the others.
LEAST FAVORITE COVER(s):
OMG, these are so bad!!! First is the Vietnamese cover, it just looks weird AF. Then the Turkish is beyond awful, I can’t even understand how they changed the original one so much that it became that awful. Do I need to explain the Korean one? And the Swedish… who is that?! Not Cinder, for sure!
Actually the first 3 books are already out in here 🙂 . The cover for Cinder is bad but the other two are actually cute. The swedish cover is jsut scary. How is it that way?
I saw the other 2, and I really liked Scarlet 🙂 but Cinder’s is not good. I don’t get that Swedish cover :S it’s so weird, right?
Totally. That cover is creepy and I wouldn’t read Cinder if it had that cover.
me neither :S i was actually surprised by how many different covers there are =/
I knew because I already did a Book Covers Around the World about The Lunar Chronicles XD
😀
OMG! The Thai cover is so gorgeous!
right? 😀
I really like the Thai one! A lot of these others are pretty bad though. I think the original is probably the best one.
eheh, yeah, the original one wall the way 😉
I really like the Spanish and Thai covers! And wow that Swedish one is just…really creepy. This is the first time I’ve come across this meme. I love it!
it’s pretty fun 😀
The Swedish cover is SO CREEPY! Why is her head so HUGE!? 😐
that’s a very good question… and why is she blond? she looks so weird :S
That Thai edition is gorgeous and I’m a huge fan of the Spanish one as well.
😀 they’re gorgeous!
My favorite cover has to be the one with the crystal shoe! Some of those bad covers are actually creepy.
you like the crystal shoe one? I actually like the red one better 😉
Hmm.. I was drawn to the crystal shoe so I didn’t really see the rest XD
The Spanish and German covers are to die for! SO PRETTY!
😀
What’s up with the Swedish covers for the series. They look so sad and creepy.
they are beyond creepy :S
Right? I don’t know what they were thinking.
me neither =/
I think from the Portuguese covers, my least favorite one is definitely Cinder. But they did a beautiful job with Cress! However, I still want the original books :p
yeah, I reckon you’re right, I really like the portuguese cover of Scarlet ;). Did you read it in portuguese?
No, because I really want to read them in English. But I wouldn’t mind if someone gave me the Portuguese edition of Cress! It’s like art! **
😉 i get that
