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

Oh, I'm excited about this one! Shari Lapena is releasing a new suspense novel - The End of Her - in July of this year on both sides of the pond. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. So... the colour scheme used on both is very similar with the dark muted tones. The storm is coming in the US cover, while it's already raining in the UK cover. Ominous tones with sitting along on a park bench in the waning daylight. And the danger has arrived in the rear view mirror on the UK cover. And a house. A great blurb from Ruth Ware (another fave author) on the UK sums it up well. "Suburban Paranoia". I really dislike actual images of people on the cover as I prefer to make my own mental image based on the author's descriptions, so an easy choice for me this week - UK cover. What about you?
Which cover do you prefer? Any plans to read The End of Her?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.
It was a tough pick for me this week because I like both but I think I like the UK cover the best, too.
ReplyDeleteI think I actually prefer the simplicity of the US version this week.
ReplyDeleteI'll go for the UK cover this week as I am so tired of backshot of a woman in a red coat. Ha! And, yes, I'll be reading this one. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThree to one for the UK cover this week!
ReplyDeleteThe US cover lacks creepiness. With the light peeking through the clouds, it makes the girl on the bench look rather serene. But the UK cover will its torrential rain really conveys a sense of dread, so this one is also my pick this week.
ReplyDeleteStill haven’t read anything by her yet, but she’s on my list ;-)
Oops....should be “with” not will
ReplyDeleteShe's good Icewineanne!
ReplyDeleteAnother UK vote for the win this week!
