Book Wars a weekly feature hosted between two book review blogs – A Life Bound By Books & Much Loved Books!
It’s a fact that book lovers know all about the covers of the books they covet. Often when a title is released here in the US, it’s sometimes vastly different across the pond in the US. So, Michelle from Much Loved Books and I have come together to create Book Wars to talk about the difference in covers when it comes to the US vs. UK versions.
We hope from time to time authors will chime in with their thoughts as well. We welcome everyone to comment and share their thoughts too! The more the merrier!
Before we get to this weeks Book Wars, we have a winner to announce. The Book Wars winner for Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1) By: Susan Dennard is..... ! Thank you to everyone who voted for both books, and for picking a winner.
Also, there's a poll at the bottom of the post that we'd love to hear your input for the two covers! Tell us which one YOU love the most.

Synopsis: Every day is the same for Rhiannon. She has accepted her life, convinced herself that she deserves her distant, temperamental boyfriend, Justin, even established guidelines by which to live: Don’t be too needy. Avoid upsetting him. Never get your hopes up.
Until the morning everything changes. Justin seems to see her, to want to be with her for the first time, and they share a perfect day—a perfect day Justin doesn’t remember the next morning. Confused, depressed, and desperate for another day as great as that one, Rhiannon starts questioning everything. Then, one day, a stranger tells her that the Justin she spent that day with, the one who made her feel like a real person…wasn’t Justin at all.
In this enthralling companion to his New York Times bestseller Every Day, David Levithan tells Rhiannon’s side of the story as she seeks to discover the truth about love and how it can change you.

Let the Wars Begin: Its now time to make our decision, let's see what we think about the covers and pick our favorite cover.
Lisa Since I loved the covers for the first book so much, I thought I'd share the second in this series to see what everyone thinks of this one too.
And again while I really love them both, I'm still so captivated by the US cover. There's something about it that really makes me want to pick up the book and read it.
Both fit perfectly with the previous installments too.
I really can't stop looking at the US covers. They're so interesting and again unique.
So it's another US win for me. Do YOU have a favorite? Vote below.

Michelle I actually had to look twice at these covers, I thought we had accidentally duplicated the first covers. Looking at these I do like how they match the previous books, I am a big fan of matching covers.
My vote this week is the same as it was for the other covers. I really like the UK cover and how dramatic and bold it is, but the US cover just looks nicer for me.
I love the whole effect of this one, the clouds, the floating/falling person. Everything about this is a win for me
US gets my vote, which gets yours?
