Maureen Johnson’s Coverflip Challenge

I wanted to do Paranormalcy by Kiersten White because I’ve generally always thought that the covers they chose were intentionally far more stereotypically feminine than the story warranted — to the point that the action, humor, and monsters in the story were totally eclipsed by the idea of a heroine in billowing prom dresses. Which is only a few scenes of the book, really, and she’s killing “bleeping” monsters while she’s in the dress… ~~no reason someone into action stories shouldn’t want to pick up the Paranormalcy series with the covers as they are, basically.~~

I also chose to do Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins because the only way they would assign that kind of title by a male author, which is hugely limiting when trying to sell the book to boys/men because of gendered language, would be if it were by like Nicholas Sparks, and aimed at being genre romance or erotica — much like the detestable James Oliphant, a Nicholas Sparks parody, in the novel itself.

(It’s absolutely ridiculous that anyone should demean a book for appealing to girls and/or women in the first place, especially to the point of refusing to read it or being ashamed to be seen carrying it. That’s the bigger issue, really. Femininity isn’t shameful. Maybe rather than trying to make YA covers less feminine, we should work on male readers’ negative preconceptions about femininity…)
