A little help

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

Hey guys!

At work I'm designing some items for a young adult writers conference, and I want to look at some popular YA book covers, among other things, for a bit of design inspiration. I need a good idea of what design trends are going to seem cool and familiar to kids ages 13-23, and I think YA book covers will provide some insight. Like so:



I was hoping you could toss some popular YA titles my way, or better yet, link me to the book covers so I can see them. What are the kids reading these days?

Thanks!

The Divergent series (https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=veronica+roth) is really big right now.

Let's see...there's also The Fault in Our Stars (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11870085-the-fault-in-our-stars?from_search=true), and Rainbow Rowell's (https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=rainbow+rowell) books.

There seems to be a whole genre of "white covers with bright sunlight", like Jenny Han's (https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=jenny+han).

Here's a link to one of my work projects -- all about YA novels! :) You may be able to get some ideas -- and some cover images -- from there.

Agree with the Divergent-series and "The Fault in Our Stars"

Gallagher Girls (https://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/852470.I_d_Tell_You_I_Love_You_But_Then_I_d_Have_to_Kill_You) also seems quite popular these days.
