UK vs THE WORLD (23)

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

Fated by Alyson Noel

Soul seekers book one.

('Vom Schicksal bestimmt' translates to 'Fated.' - According to Google translate.)

Mist: Both of these covers are so gorgeous! I love all the bright colours used and the birds and plat life used in the backgroud of each. I think I like the German cover a little bit more though, I like the pink and the orange, they remind me of a fruit salad sweet lol And I like the flowers and the girl falling is interesting.

Ninfa: Wow, the UK cover is lovely, the model's hair blowing in the wind, the birds flying as if created by the swirling hair, the bright dawn making the dark and pale model figure stand out...I love it. The German cover is nice, but not as good as the UK one by a mile. The soft pastel peach and pink colours are pretty and the body free falling is also a nice portrait, but the UK cover is just really eye catching for me. Definitely a UK win :)

UK                      vs.                  France

Soulless by Gail Carriger
The parasol protectorate book one.
('Sans âme' translates to 'Soulless.' - According to Google translate.)

Mist: Oh, this is a tough one to, both have that great steampunk feel. I love the girls unusual stance in the UK cover and the colours and her hat! But I also love the feel of the French cover and the darkness to it, I would happily pick up either but I think I'm going to choose UK because it's more fun.

Ninfa: Both very pretty, so Victorian Steampunk! It's a tough choice as both portray the feeling of the book really well...but I think the French cover is the winner for me. I love the model's outfit and the old page feel of the cover, with the Big Ben backdrop, very, very beautiful.

Win Night star and Everlasting by Alyson Noel (AUS only)

Update: This giveaway has now ended

Nicole from our Facebook page is giving away a copy of Night star and a copy of Everlasting by Alyson Noel, but since we already have a giveaway going on the page and I haven't worked out how to add a second tab yet I'm hosting it here for her.

I'm not sure if these are the right covers for the editions the winner will receive.

There will be two winners, the first person drawn will get to choose which book they'd like

This one is for Australian residents only I'm afraid (Because that's where she lives!)

Ends on Sunday 18th September

To enter just answer this question:

Would you like to be immortal, and why?

Make sure you remember to check back next week and find out if you've won.

Same difference

There's a lot of books out there with the same cover model or with similar images so I thought I'd start comparing them and see which we all prefer, you know, for fun. I won't do it on a regular day, just whenever I come across them.

First up is Evermore by Alyson Noel, North of beautiful by Justina Chen Headley and Selina Penaluna by Jan Page. I think they're all beautiful but I prefer the darker Evermore.

Which do you prefer?
