    There is a pun in the german title of twilight because Bis with one s means Until making the title until twilight or something and biss with two s (bc there’s one a little faded s) means bite so bite at twilight because ya know vamps

    Jesse *earnestly* requesting people to hire him as a neck model was my highlight of the day.
    PS - the covers of the international editions of Twilight has left me even more traumatized than the books itself

    The black and white for night circus is important bc everything IN said circus is black and white- and attenders occasionally wear red if they're like super fans. Hence the colors on the covers being mostly those colors.

    Rather than vintage books, it reminds me of vintage cartoons that I used to watch like the animated Pink Panther show.

    Yes, Indonesian covers are stunning! You should check Indonesian cover of The Poppy War, Once Upon a Broken Heart, Strange the Dreamers, We Hunt the Flame, Renegades, To Kill a Kingdom, These Violent Delights, The Song of Achilles/Circe, Blade Breaker, and newest edition of Rick Riordan's books... they are masterpieces! 😍

    2) Any Rick Riordan book
    3) Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes (please, roast the Bulgarian edition, because it needs to be roasted) 😅
    5) Any Karen McManus book (especially One of us is Lying)
    That’s all from me 😅😊

    The first 2 UK editions, I've never seen in my life and I'm from the UK. I once owned the US edition of Twilight but I own the Vintage Classic The Night Circus with the black white and red theme, with the red spine. It's simple, but I think it's one of the prettiest covers I own. It's gorgeous, as Jesse expressed, and I also think the Vintage Magic cover makes me very uncomfortable. Some of the international covers are very beautiful but some are very strange. The Chinese The Fault in Our Stars cover is gorgeous! However, I was disappointed with the book because I thought I'd cry with how much everyone said it destroyed them, but I just didn't really care all that much which is a shame because I really hoped I'd like it. The Indonesian cover for The Cruel Prince is also beautiful, as is the Russian cover. They're stunning!
    I really love these videos, I always look forward to watching them ❤

    I definitely understand the urge to want that last TFIOS cover. There's something about a truly WTF cover that makes it strangely compelling.
    I'm currently resisting the urge to buy one I saw the other day while browsing Amazon. And it's not anywhere near as bad. (The Master and Margarita, with an incredibly cute cartoony cat on it.)

    Also I'm here for the Twilight cover that looks like "Wizard of Oz meets Stephen King" XD
    But dang, Cruel Prince got served some gorgeous covers across the board! Just... these videos are always such a solid reminder of HOW IMPORTANT GOOD COVERS ARE (a rant I could go on forever) XD

    Holy cow, those Twilight covers. I sometimes wonder if reading a book with covers like these have an effect on how the story hits for the reader. Like do they feel like they're reading a sexy or adventurous or thorny book, just based on the cover? 🤔

    Okay, so I do have some info on the Swedish edition, if you're interested. The title in Swedish is "Förr eller Senare Exploderar Jag", which translates to "Sooner or later, I'll explode." I mean... it explains some of the elements, but I can't tell you the rest.

  • @TheWordN3rd

    There's a bunch of comments already, so forgive me if this is a repeat: The Swedish version of Fault isn't named the same as everywhere else in the world, apparently. I might be a little off (I know norwegian, not swedish, but they're super similar in a lot of ways), but I think it's "Sooner or Later, I'll Explode."
    Which makes the cover art make more sense, but makes the change a little...baffling. :)

  • @devonmunn5728
    @devonmunn5728 Рік тому

    To comment about the Thai cover for Twilight I think it actually fits. The series is somewhat suggestive because of the passionate romance between Bella and Edward but of course not overly sexual because of Stephanie Meyer's Mormon beliefs. To quote Kennie J.D. in one of her videos on one of the later movies "Be a hoe, but make it holy" honestly sums it up pretty well

    Also reason for the grenade is that the Swedish title is not a translation of "The Fault in Our Stars", but a part of the line "I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?" from the book

    I'm working a lot on my laptop for my assignments so the issue of the perfect font comes up often .😅 I definitely have a few pet peeves in relation to fonts so thank you Jesse for making me feel normal about it❤.
    About the twilight covers ... Honestly Stephanie Meyer 's original cover before the US edition came out represents the state of my preparation for exams 😂😢 and wtf was the last one 😮 i nearly closed my phone because of that .
    The Indonesian covers are winning the game ❤
    Definitely agree , the Arabic edition of TFIOS is a bit spoilery but maybe it's because it's obvious to us who knows the story by heart . The original cover will always be my number one because of the sheer nostalgia. It's such an iconic cover ❤. The Chinese edition and the Japanese edition are my favourite ones too❤.
