I've never found The Giver's cover to be particularly compelling, but it's been so long since I've read it that I'm at a loss as to what could replace the current image.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-8814244013748642422011-04-05T22:23:30.560-04:002011-04-05T22:23:30.560-04:00I haven't read The Help, but from what I know ...I haven't read The Help, but from what I know about it, the cover doesn't make much sense.<br /><br />Here is my list: http://hawthornescarlet.blogspot.com/2011/04/top-ten-tuesday-stop-embarassing-me.htmlLBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565867574821169945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-22034415666849045692011-04-05T18:07:29.078-04:002011-04-05T18:07:29.078-04:00I like your point about having gender-neutral cove...I like your point about having gender-neutral covers.
