UK vs. THE WORLD! (13)

UK vs. The world is a weekly meme I made up lol.

It's simlair to UK vs. US except the UK covers are battling it out with their foreign counterparts from all over the world, because who doesn't love judging books by their covers!

UK                            vs.                   Germany

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

Starcrossed book one

('Göttlich verdammt' translates to 'Divinely condemned' - According to Google translate.)

Mist: Ohhhh these are both so lovely!The German cover feels kind of historical and I really like the girls golden eye and frame and backgroud but I love the UK cover, the colour really stands out and I'm a sucker for lightening pictures so it's UK for me!

Ninfa: I like both covers for different reasons. Both have a Gold colour scheme which is really nice, and brings to mind royalty, or in this case, Gods so it works with the theme of the book. I like the male/female models in the UK cover and the thunder-like effect on the background, but in the German cover I really love the frame with the Greek-like drawings, and I love the model they picked...I think for me it's a German win but by a very little margin.

UK                         vs.                      France

Tempest by Julie Cross

Tempest book one.
('Les ennemis du temps' translates to 'The enemies of the time' - According to Google translate.)

Mist: I like both these covers but I like the UK cover a little bit more, it fits better into the theme of the book I think and I love the colour of the clouds and the tag line and the couple reaching for each other is interesting. The French cover is nice but I would think this was a book for boys and wouldn't pick it up.

Ninfa: UK win all the way. I just love the poses of the models, torn apart by this storm behind them, it picks up the tagline perfectly and it works so well on many levels. Definitely would pick this book up if i saw the UK cover. Not too hot on the French cover I'm afraid...looks like the guy is doing some skateboarding or something, doesn't really tell me much about the book...UK wins hands down

Which do you prefer?
