Everyone knows I'm completely obsessed with the UK. "US vs. UK" was created by Jenny from Wondrous Reads and it compares covers from books released in the two countries. In the spirit of Independence Weekend, there are several comparisons today.

and Holly's Inbox: Scandal in the City
by Holly Denham. Both of the US covers show a receptionist sitting at her desk, presumably typing or browsing in her e-mail inbox. Both of the UK covers just have fancy pretty script writing for the titles. I'm going to split the baby on this one. For the first cover, I favor the US version because it is true to the plot. For the second cover, I favour the UK version just because of the colors and city backdrop.  |

by Jennifer Weiner. The US cover features a sitting young woman dressed business casual viewing the city. She appears to be waiting for someone or something. Or maybe she's just daydreaming about her future. The UK cover also features a woman dressed business casual carrying either a briefcase or handbag. She appears to be overlooking the city as well and walking forward. Not really sure why there are random birds flying. Hands down, I favor the US cover. It's modern, like it's story line. |

The next comparison is The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler. The US version is quite plain and boring. While the UK version has six different styled chairs for each of the book club members. How cute and appropriate. I fancy the UK cover.
Which covers do you favor?
Total: US 5, UK 4
