Writer and blogger Kate Hart just did a cool blog post on 2011 teen book covers. Well, actually she did a cool blog post on teen book covers in July--you may remember our blog post about the cover color wheel she made? Well, she has a new post that talks about the color of covers, but also the ethnicity of the teens on the covers (90% white), gender of the teens on the cover (79% female) and many other things. Check out her post on Uncovering YA Covers to find out how many teen book covers feature dead people, how many covers feature people only shown from the back, and how many teen book covers show mirrors. She looked at over 900 covers to get her results! What other book cover trends have you noticed?
