I found this weekly meme over on The Bibliosanctum. It looks super fun so I figured I would give it a shot! It looks like the original creator was Books by Proxy, but it is now kept going by Lynn’s Book Blog.
The rules are simple. You pick a cover based on the week’s theme, and then you compare it to other covers for the same title. Then you pick your favorite! Thats it. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
This week’s theme is Double Image or Reflection. I picked The Giver.

Reflection Cover:
Cover I remember from High school:
Other Covers:
Honestly I don’t like any of these covers. I probably would never pick this book to read if I saw it in a bookstore. I appreciate the last cover is trying to appeal to a younger audience but its too trippy. And the reflection cover is kind of creepy. The other two are boring, but at least they are sort of normal. Plus I remember the one cover from high school. I am a bit nostalgic so that one appeals to me.
Without further ado, the winner is:
Why mess with what you know? This is the cover I remember and I liked this book, so while none of them are great I like this one best. Its not a great reason, but I didn’t have a lot of great options.
Which one is your favorite? Let me know!
Yay, welcome to Friday Face-off! The more the merrier 🙂
I also agree with your choice. I don’t really have a favorite, but the cover you chose is the one I’m most familiar with as well, and I owned that edition in high school too!

I’ve never seen this book before but I tend to always lean on the side of nostalgia so understand your winner completely. I always tend to go for the book cover that I own or am most familiar with.
Thanks for joining in 😀

It was fun! You should definitely try it! The hardest part for me was finding a cover with a reflection, but this week’s theme is a cover with snow, so that should be way easier!

I have to say my favorite is the cover from high school. I mostly will always pick the original covers of books.
Plus, I nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award! Just wanted to let you know 😉
