Like you, I usually like UK covers better, but there have been two or three lately where I like the US one better. Beyond the cover, the story sounds really good.

The UK cover actually jumped out at me. Love its clean design and lovely colour and everything about it. The US cover I do not care for. It's so interesting to see how differently we all define beauty in covers. :) I’m the opposite. The UK cover actually jumped out at me.

I usually prefer UK covers myself. Your layout is so lovely, wish I knew how to do that.

The US cover is gorgeous, beautiful work of art!
