International Book Covers We Wished We Had on Our Shelves

After some casual scrolling through Instagram, we found that some of our favorite books have different (and stunning) covers across the world.

These international editions have got us ready to travel with an extra large suitcase because we need them on our shelves!

4. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, the UK edition, from @babblingbooks

The UK and US covers of The Hate U Give are both honest and simple in different ways and we can’t decide which we love more!

By

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.

What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

8. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake, the UK edition, from @books.in.the.village

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose . . . it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.

The last queen standing gets the crown.

9. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, the Turkish edition, from @pegasusyayinlari
