UK vs US Book Covers #1

Sometimes it is the case that when books are published in different countries there is changed, further it is for the good or bad so I thought it would be nice to compare them. So let's get started...

 Trouble by Non Pratt

          UK                                   vs                                           US

 Trouble                                                                                       Trouble

First off it is good to note that I haven't read this book yet but I do know the basic premise of the story which therefore means that I am just going to base it on the cover. Although I do think the US cover is pretty, this time the winner is UK as it represents the book better. 

 Winner: UK

 Uglies by Scott Westerfield 

             UK                                   vs                                      US
Uglies (Uglies, #1)Uglies (Uglies, #1)                                                                                                         
















Unlike Trouble, I have read this book and I do believe that the Uglies UK book cover does represent the book better than the US book cover. The scalpel is used to represent the ugly transformation and to be honest I don't understand the aim of the US cover.  

 Winner: UK

 Divergent by Veronica Roth

                UK                                   vs                                      US

 Divergent (Divergent, #1)
Divergent (Divergent, #1)

For a change I like the US cover more than the UK cover, I just think it represents the book better than the UK one although the UK cover has the 3 birds representing her family. Also I find the US cover is just prettier than the UK one. 

 Winner: US

 One by Sarah Crossan

                 UK                                   vs                                      US
One

 This novel is about conjoined twins and I think that both of them are equally as beautiful but I think for this time, I will have to go with UK. This is due to the typography as it is nicer than the US one and there seems to be a loving relationship by the two one the UK cover. This comes out later this month, I am excited to read it. 

 Winner:UK

 In Bloom by Matthew Crow 

            UK                                    vs                                      US

 In Bloom                                                                                The Brilliant Light of Amber Sunrise

This is one of my favourite books ever and I have to say that I enjoy the UK cover more, I think that it is so pretty, The other cover is just to colourful and I don't understand the name change that much although nothing to do with the cover. Yet again I choose the UK cover. 

 Winner: UK

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman  Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over.  The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes.
