Kate Hart looks at YA book covers

(Nicked from genrereviews)

Last year, I started a series of infographics about YA book covers, mostly as a tongue-in-cheek reaction to the Wall Street Journal's "Darkness in YA" controversy. But the further I got into compiling statistics, the more alarmed I became at the covers' monochrome approach to models. All total, I found 224 white girls-- and only nine of any other race or ethnicity.

One of those stupid thoughts that comes to one when one is up too early

"What if the Twilight series, instead of being written by Stephanie Meyers, had been written by James Tiptree, Jr.?"
