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. I have missed doing this meme so there are a couple comparisons today.

The first comparison is Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler. The US cover is at the top. It features the star sitting in a lawn chair holding...what else...a cocktail. The UK cover shows a sketch of a woman with a pale beige color. It is no question which cover I like more: US!
Total: US 6, UK 6

The second comparison is Kill Alex Cross by James Patterson. Both covers are very similar, just different backgrounds. I like the patriotic look of the US cover with an American flag behind the title. Go US!
Total: US 7, UK 6

The third comparison is Kill Me If You Can also by James Patterson. The UK cover is displayed on top, with a darker cover. It gives off the vibe of mystery and danger. The US cover is bright with fire colors. Hmmm, both covers are kind of bland but I like the US cover better. Total: US 8, UK 6
Which covers do you favor? |
