Tara of Basically Books and I decided to get together to do a weekly meme where we would compare covers of the UK editions of books with those of the US editions.
The aim of this is to just have a bit of fun. We put ourselves in the position where we see both of these books side by side in the bookstore. Which would we choose? Why that one and not the other?
This week we will be comparing the covers of Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan.

says: There is absolutely no contest here. I suppose that the US cover is
pretty enough in its own right, though I’m not sure it’d ever really attract my
attention. The UK cover, though, is absolutely gorgeous. When I saw this book
in the store, I bought it without even looking at the blurb because I just
wanted this amazing cover on my shelves (luckily the story is just as good as
the cover!). UK for me.

Says: I like both covers. They both have
their unique thing about them which makes me want to buy them. The US one has a
girl and then the title is sideways, whereas on the UK one there are flowers
the title is the right way up - where it should be. They are both so pretty,
but I will go with UK just because the title is easier to read; I don’t have to
tilt my head. So UK wins!
Score:
