Covers, by the numbers

YA cover statistics, 2010 edition

I mean, even dead white girls come close to outnumbering obviously black or Asian girls. That's ridiculous. And I like pretty dresses as much as the next person, but seriously? We can't put an Indian or Latina girl in a dress? Really?

I feel less overwhelmed by ridiculous trendy covers now than I was last year -- I think maybe it got to the point that publishers realized that they were all putting out books with exactly the same covers. Anyway, the numbers are interesting.
