Hello, lovely readers! It’s time for Which Cover Wednesday! Which Cover Wednesday is a meme I host where I compare two different covers of the same book and give my opinion on which does it better. And feel free to join in on the fun as well, by commenting about these covers in the Comments Section below. Here are this week’s covers:
1. Fallen by Lauren Kate (English and Italian)
or
Love that first cover! While both books share a similar background, I like how the model is front and centre in this one as opposed to being on the side. Also, the typography’s slightly more fancier and having that dress doesn’t hurt! 😉
2. Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
or
First cover! It just conveys a much more darker tone to the novel, rather than the second cover, which looks like a soap opera…
3. My Blood Does Approve by Amanda Hocking
or
This time, it’s the second cover! It looks more “put-together” than the first one, with its beautiful typography, the placement of cover art and model. The first cover, on the other hand, doesn’t make as much use of the space and looks more empty than the second cover…
4. Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton
or
OMG! I’d go for the second cover in this case. The layout is more appealing to me, with an understated gate depiction on the bottom of the cover. There’s also the necklace of the model, which suggests a component of the story. And what about that windswept hair? That was nicely done! 😉
Well, that’s it for this week’s Which Cover Wednesday. Were there any covers you liked or disliked? If you have any thoughts on these covers, I’d love to hear about them in the Comments Section below! Thanks for reading! 😉

I chose the exact same covers! My absolute favourite of them all have to be the last one, there’s just something about it.

I love the Beautiful Creatures covers! Looking back, I’d probably say they’re my favourite part of the books… Oops😂

I get what you mean; I loved the cover for that book and Fallen, but I didn’t necessarily like the books… 😁

The first cover of Fallen is pretty cool. Have you read it?

I’ve read it and I’d say that the cover does a great job getting people to read the book! 😄

Haha, I agreed with you for all these covers! :)The Beautiful Creatures second cover is so blah, the movie covers are never as good as the original covers I find!

I’d say there are a few out there that are better than the original cover, like The Vampire Diaries… But yeah, most of them cannot compare to the original covers!

I agree with you in all the cases. The first cover for My Blood Does Approve is really odd, doesn’t really look like professionally made book cover, more like a fan art.

I think the author may have made it herself, since she was self-published before moving onto a traditional publisher. I’m glad they changed the cover, though! 😊
