I do not know about you, but I do judge books by their covers.
In Cover Combat I compare US covers with the Swedish covers of the same books, to see which covers I like the most!
This week the covers of The Undomestic Goddess, Can You Keep a Secret?, Rememer Me? and Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella are being judged.
UK/US covers
Swedish Covers:
This is definitely a Swedish win for me! When you look at the Swedish covers you get the feeling of a fun, light book with a fun and sometimes clumsy heroin - a typical Kinsella book in other words! The only Swedish cover I doesn't like is the third one, but the others are great!
Which covers do you prefer?

I'm actually not that keen on the Swedish covers(sorry, I feel like I'm hurting your feelings now ;)). The last one made it look like a steam punk novel of some sort.
I like the Swedish covers, but for me the UK one's win (sorry!) I just love that style cover in general for chick lit.
I like the first two Swedish covers, but not the rest. As for the US, I only like the third one...so Swedish covers totally win. :)
Thanks for linking up to my post! :-)
I actually prefer the US covers. I really don't like that third Swedish cover. I love the 4th one, but I don't feel that it fits with the book. It does look like a book I want to read, though.
And then I guess the first two would be good if I hadn't read the books, but that's just not how I imagined the characters.
Wow, love the Swedish covers. They are great.
