Cover Lover: Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

Welcome to my first cover comparisonI was recently sitting down to do the review of this book when I was plundering Goodreads, I noticed something of sheer beauty. The cover! Why yes, the US cover is beautiful and graceful, but it doesn't stop there.

Most of the times there is a difference in covers between the countries they are published in. US and the UK are some of the most stark differences and usually convey different aspects or interpretations of the story held within the pages. This book is special. Take a look at the beautiful craftsmanship through all the country editions. Swoon and be vain and do judge this book by its cover!

The Australian Edition (My Favorite)

US Edition - UK Edition - Portuguese Edition

I bought...

The Hunger Games (Book 1)

Catching Fire (Book 2)

Mockingjay (Book 3)

After reading The Hunger Games when I checked it out of the library, I was immediately hooked and wanted to read Catching Fire but I was in a pickle because there were over 40 people in line! So with a giftcard in hand to Joseph-Beth Booksellers, I went in search of Catching Fire...only to find out it was out of stock from the publishers and the only copies were available in the box set. I went on a wild ride of "Should I buy the whole set? But I wanted Girl in the Steel Corset...but Catching Fire..." in the end I bought it to the pleasant surprise of being 20% off! With the gift card taken into consideration, I got the whole set for cheaper than 1 book!

From the library...

Angel Burn by L.A. Weatherly

Red Glove by Holly Black

I really only intended to check out the remaining Forest of Hands and Teeth books to fill my dystopian need but when all these other great titles are just there, how could I say no?
