The Cover Wars: Throne of Glass

Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I decided to get together to do a weekly meme where we would compare covers of the UK editions of books with those of the US editions.

The aim of this is to just have a bit of fun. We put ourselves in the position where we see both of these books side by side in the bookstore. Which would we choose? Why that one and not the other?

This week, we will be comparing the UK and US covers of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas.

The First book is the US version and the Second one is the UK
version.

Tara says: I like both covers, but the US one is just like other covers out there whereas the UK one is a little different. The UK cover actually made me smile as it’s showing me what the girl is, and what she does, without even reading the blurb. UK WINS!

Rea says: This one is a fairly easy one for me. The US one is not all that extraordinary, though I do really like the castle in the background – even if it does look more like a ghost castle than one made of glass. The UK one, however, is original and beautiful. This is the one that I have and the back cover actually shows the same character facing away but wearing a dress now. This cover stands out and I fell in love with it the moment I first laid eyes on it. UK for me.

Score: 

Week 32:      US: 5    UK: 19   Draw: 8

Get A Taste: Throne of Glass

Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I often read very different books but sometimes find interesting new books to potentially add to the ever-growing monsters that our TBR piles have morphed into. However, we know that we do not have 100% the same taste and we wanted another way of getting a look at these books...

Do you ever feel like getting a bit of a taster for a book you’ve been thinking of reading but aren’t fully sold on yet? Do you feel like sharing a taster for your current read with the world? Well, here’s your chance.

Each week the random number generator will pick a number between 1 and 100 for books with pages or 1 and 25% for ebooks. We figured that these numbers would keep us out of spoiler territory. Open your book to the specified place and pick a paragraph. Share it with the world!

This week its: 
Page number: 19
Kindle/ebook: 20%


My Teaser:


'"Fair enough indeed," Dorian said, and waved a hand at Chaol. "Take her to her rooms and clean her up." He fixed her with a stare. "We depart for Rifthold in the morning. Don't disappoint me, Sardothien."'


I'm currently reading this book :) Good so far :P
