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

Kate Atksinson's new book, Transcription, releases in September on both sides of the pond. "A dramatic story of WWII espionage, betrayal, and loyalty, by the #1 bestselling author of Life After Life." Definitely on my TBR list! The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. Both covers have almost the same blue background, the author's name up top in red and a tagline as well. But we have two very different images this week. It's hard to see, but there are words overlaying the image on the US cover - they appear to be part of a transcript. Dating the image is hard, but it seems to be in the past and the suggests London. But what in the world could a flamingo have to do with this story?! The UK cover is quite stark and definitely catches your eye. And I'm very curious as to how a flamingo would tie in, given the premise of the book. I'm going to go with the UK cover this week. Although the US cover is lovely, I feel like I've seen similar covers before. What bout you? Any plans to read Transcription? Which cover do you prefer?

The UK cover is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI wonder about the flamingo as well but I think I prefer the US cover.
ReplyDeleteI actually like both of them, but will go with the UK cover because why a flamingo? This book is already on my list.
ReplyDeleteThose Brits--the flamingo certainly caught my eye as well!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the UK cover too!
ReplyDeleteSo far, a win for the UK cover this week. Regardless of the cover, it's going to be another great read from Atkinson! I need to know about that flamingo....
