Colorful Cover
There are a lot of great colorful covers to choose from, so I tried to choose a book I read many years ago and haven't really mentioned much on this channel, Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Joshua Foer. This was a fun little book all about memory, and the author tries to improve his own memory while exploring the U.S. Memory Championship (yes, that's a thing!) and diving into all things memory. And it has a pretty colorful, rainbow-esque cover!

My choice(s):
These are all so unique and fun, I had a blast throwing these all together (and this wasn't even all of the covers available!). I have to say that I think I'm most drawn to the original US edition that I read, but I think a lot of these are really colorful and exciting. I love how literally some of these covers took the title because it makes for some really fun covers, I think!
What cover(s) do you like the most?
These are all really cool, I really like the Finnish one!
ReplyDeleteAll of them are great, but I think my favorite is the 2012 US paperback. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so colorful! I like a lot of them, but I agree, the first one is my favorite😁
