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

It was this recommendation for Felicity Hayes-McCoy's
forthcoming book, The Transatlantic Book Club that caught me eye..."perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan". That's me! I do love a good rom-com series. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. Big plus for the US cover is not showing the woman's face! I like the background of hills and buildings. And putting the title of the book, on the book, is clever. It's a bright and cheerful look and I would be enticed into picking it up. The UK cover does seem to follow a look. The same hills and village are there. This time we're given a figure instead of a face. And a blurb "Distance Makes No Difference to Love" lets you know it's a romance. Hmm, this week I'm going to go with the US cover - the bright colours are just more inviting for me. What about you? Which cover do you prefer? Any plans to read The Transatlantic Book Club?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.
I definitely like the US cover better. The UK cover is a bit bland and pale. And I'm always trying to see what people are reading anyway. LOL
ReplyDeleteUS this week! And I agree with you Kay - bland is blah...
ReplyDeleteSo different! But I like the US cover too.
ReplyDeletethree for three so far....
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this one. I read an earlier book by this author, The Library at the end of the World. Loved the Irish setting.
ReplyDeleteFor this cover challenge, my vote also goes to the US cover. I liked the same things that you did about this cover; the green hills, girl with her nose in a book, the pop of colour from her tam & the typeface used on the cleverly placed title.
Happy reading!
Icewineanne - good to hear you enjoyed her previous book. She's a new to me author. And your vote cements the US win!
