The UK is my hometown glory but I live in the US. The US vs. UK bookish meme compares book covers published in the two countries.
US |
UK |
Today's first comparison is The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. The US cover is too plain. It shows a red balloon floating in the clouds. The UK cover shows a manicured hand holding a jar. In the jar is a flying pink butterfly. There is no question as to which cover I like better: UK wins!
Today's second comparison is The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. The US cover shows a woman facing a crowd, possibly paparazzi. There are cameras flashing. The title is scrawled across the cover in white cursive font. The UK cover shows a man in a trench coat walking across a bridge. The title is in white block font. It has a London mysterious look that is far more eye-catching. I am ending this year on a tie with the US vs. UK meme.
I dont care for either but I will give the thumbs up to the UK cover for the first set now the second selection (bottom) i'm going with us. UK cover I will never pick up on my own, someone would have to give me the story line for me to even look at. hey stop by, today, i got such a blessed treat, i'm so geeked.
