Cover vs. Cover [#6]

Cover vs. Cover & US vs. UK are weekly memes hosted by a number of different people, I found out about it from As These Pages Fly. Its about comparing different covers of the same book.

I haven't done a Cover vs Cover for almost a month now, but i feel like doing one this week so here it goes.

This weeks covers are:
The US Cover The UK Cover

So this week I choose to compare the cover of Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Now to start off, I really like both of these covers. I like how on the US cover the girl just seems to be looking off in the distance as if she's thinking about something. I also like the wood pieces for the title and the author. On the UK cover I like how its just the girl sitting there, with no specific background and how on that cover it looks pretty cool when she looks more directly at something. I also like the font for the title on the UK cover. Over all I really like both these covers and I cant choose which one I like more. I'm going with a tie on this one.

Cover vs. Cover [#5]

I like both these covers. I like the black, red and white scheme on the UK cover. I also like how they have the one heart red and the way they did the title. It looks cool. I also like the saying on the front. On the US cover I like the white and blue scheme. I like how they have different shades of blue. I really like how in the background they have a wolf. I honestly like the US cover more. Yes, the UK cover is nice too but I feel like the wolf in the background of the US cover brings out more of what the story is about. So my choice is the US cover.

Cover vs. Cover [#4]

I decided to do one of the vamp diaries books this week. The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Shadow Souls was my fave book out of the series so I decided to do it. I like the face on the front of the US cover. I also really like the font on that one too. I like on the UK cover how its a picture of a key which is what they were searching for in that book. I also like the blood because in a way it shows the blood that was shed to get the keys. I also like the font on the UK cover as well. For this one I actually like the UK cover better. I like that the cover is a simple picture of a key with blood under it. Sometime I like very full covers and sometimes I like emptier covers. I think the UK cover works very well with the simple design. I choose the UK cover.

The Old US Covers The New US Covers

This week I decided to compare the old and new US covers of the Uglies trilogy. Now I realized they changed the covers just recently. I re-read the Uglies trilogy to review but I actually never read Extras so I had to go buy the book. When I found the book I realized they made new covers for the entire series. So I have Uglies, Pretties, and Specials in the old cover and Extras in the new. Now I'm kinda mixed on what covers I'm a fan of and which ones I'm not. I really liked how all the old covers showed the faces and how they changed each time an operation was done. I do however like a few of the new covers for them. First of all I like how on Pretties they show the legs with the writing on them because it shows how they really changed your whole body when you become pretty. I also really like the new cover to Extras. I like how they show a close up of the eye and in general how beautiful and more filled with color it is. I feel like the other new covers seem kinda boring in color. This is easy for me. The old covers overwhelmingly win in my opinion. I feel like they pull you in more to wanting to read them.

The US Cover The UK Cover

I really like both of these covers. I like how on the US cover it has the flowers shining through the glass ball in Evers hand. I dont like that you can only see about half her face though. I like how you can see Evers face on the UK cover with the flowers off to the side. I also like how there is a catchy phrase on the UK cover. I'm honestly torn between both of these covers, they are both beautiful in there own ways. Personally it is a tie for me.

Cover vs. Cover [#1]

I like both of these covers. I love how on the US cover they show the perfect skin and the flash tattoos of the specials. I also like how it has more color to it. I like how the UK cover shows different pics in the body of the girl but I felt like they could have put more on the cover. I liked how both versions had a saying on the front (the pic of the US one I have doesn't have the sayings but I own the book so I swear its on there.). The UK version has the saying "Time for the final choice", and the US version has the sayings "Frighteningly Beautiful. Dangerously Strong. Breathtakingly Fast." I felt like the sayings on the US cover and the cover of the US one pulls you in more to wanting to read the book. So my choice is the US cover.
