You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover #221

- You can't judge a book by its cover - which is very true. 
But you can like one cover version better than another....

US cover
UK cover
Another one for suspense lovers' lists! Our House by
Louise Candlish. Already released in the UK and coming out in August in NA. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. So....many different views of the same house this week - including an upside down one. The US is pretty standard - one light on in an upstairs window of an old house. The bottom half of the photo is somewhat blurred. A nice blurb from Fiona Barton. Now, the UK cover is definitely more interesting. Light and dark. Up and down. Night and day. Opposites and flip sides. We get more of an idea what might be inside with the cover tagline. and Still one light on upstairs, but on the opposite side. And a nice blurb from Clare Mackintosh. Wondering what it might be about? "On a bright morning in the London suburbs, a family moves into the house they’ve just bought on Trinity Avenue. Nothing strange about that. Except it's your house. And you didn’t sell it." Yep, on my TBR list. And I like the UK cover this week. What about you - any plans to read Our House? Which cover do you prefer this week?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.

I prefer the UK cover too - the US cover is rather boring.

Definitely the UK cover this week, though I might like title to be in white instead of yellow. I've already read this one. Review to be upcoming. And this book - yep, very twisty and that upside down cover gives a good glimpse into what a reader might find.

I prefer the US cover!

I prefer the US cover. This was a good book, such an unique story line that I wasn't expecting! The format was interesting, too.

Love the UK cover! Why is North America stuck with such an uninspired cover???
This is definitely one I’m going to read

Hmm, a bit of split decision this week. I just finished reading it - and yes it was good no matter the cover!
