USvsUK: Wicked Lovely


US vs. UK is a meme hosted over at Wondorous Reads. Basicly the title is self-explanatory, this meme is one designed to show US and UK covers of a book, and decide which one is better.



And now for today's contenders...
(Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr- US vs. UK)


On the US side..
On the UK side...

My Pick: I don't know about you, but to me the pick is obvious. The UK cover is my opinion is hideous, while the font is cool, and it probably represents the book fairly decent, I can't get over the heinous overall appeal of it. On my scale its a 2.5/5! On the hand, US cover is a very striking cover, and very alluring. On my scale it is a 4/5!

Now that you've seen my pick, Who do you think won the Battle?

My Pick: I'm definitely going with the US cover, on my scale it is a 4.5/5! Personally I was never a fan of the UK Dessen covers, they're just kind of blech! And this cover is no exception, it is only a 2.5/5 on my handy dandy cover rating scale!

USvsUK: Elsewhere

And another cover meme...
US vs. UK is a meme hosted over at Wondorous Reads. Basicly the title is self-explanatory, this meme is one designed to show US and UK covers of a book, and decide which one is better.


And now for today's contenders...
(Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin- US vs. UK Hardcover vs. UK Paperback)

On the US side...

On the UK side...

(Hardcover)

Also on the UK side...

(Paperback)



My Pick: I don't think any of these covers are truly fitting of the book. But if I had to pick, and taking in the creative format of each one, my order goes as follows:

1.) UK Hardcover (now that I think about it, this one actually is fitting, the binocular-look out things, what are they called?, were in the book, and even without that the cover just looks really cool!) 4.5/5

2.) UK Paperback (while it may not fit the book per-se, I like the looking out at the ocean feel) 3/5

3.) US Cover (I like the snowglobe, but I just don't think it's fitting of the book) 3/5
