Hi everyone! It’s time for Who Wears It Better January 2022 edition! In this feature, I look at different book covers used for the same book. In some cases, the cover is chosen by geography (e.g. North America or UK). Other times, it’s based on the edition of the book (hardcover, paperback, kindle etc). Where it becomes confusing is when the book is given a completely different title! Just for fun, and because I love talking books, let’s see what different books covers I’ve noticed recently. You can click on the book covers to read my review of each book when available.
US Cover
UK Cover
I love both of these covers but give a slight edge to the UK cover because it references a scene in the book.
Add The Party Crasher to your Goodreads shelf
Original cover
Mass Market cover
I’m not really attracted to either of these covers but give a slight edge to the original cover for its sense of whimsy.
Add A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem to your Goodreads shelf
US Cover
UK Cover
Australian Cover
I love when I find multiple covers of the same book and these three are very different from one another. My choice is the Australian version as I’m attracted to the colours and it represents the book.
Add The Kiss Quotient to your Goodreads shelf
US Cover
Canadian Cover
I adore both of these covers but give a slight edge to the US cover because it speaks a little louder about the character.
Add Lucky to your Goodreads shelf
US Cover
UK Cover
I like both of these covers. Having said that, I don’t like the way the characters are drawn in the US version so I’m giving the win to the UK cover on this one.

Dorothy Berry-Lound
I never knew they sometimes use different covers for different countries how interesting. For A Lady’s Giide To Mischief And Mayhem I much prefer the original.

Molly Transatlantic Notes
This is such a great idea for a post! It’s amazing the difference a cover can make; from deciding whether you want to read it to what hints/ideas it gives you about the story itself. Thanks for sharing this!

I absolutely agree Molly! There are covers that definitely attract me to reading the synopsis of a book while others don’t. Thanks for reading.

Sometimes the covers are quite different. I prefer the UK Kinsella one that you display.

We like the US covers better except for The Party Crasher.

It definitely can Jenny! Thanks for reading.
Jaya Avendel
Love these Who Wears it Better book editions, so this one was fun to read! It is so interesting to see how covers for the same book change due to the edition and what makes one stand out over the other. I prefer clean covers with good color choices, hence I prefer the US Kiss Quotient Cover. 🙂
thathappyreader
Thanks for reading Jaya! I find it interesting to see what others choose as their favourites. ☺️
Charity
I love this idea of comparing different book covers for the same book! How fun is that?!
thathappyreader
It’s a lot of fun for me! Thanks for reading Charity.
Wendy Williams
I love this post Jodie, and I look forward to it. I agree with you on these covers. Especially the Party Crasher. I just finished the book last week, and I agree that the UK cover depicts the story much better.

Thanks for reading Wendy!

I always love your ‘Who Wears it Better’ posts! I actually chose the very same as you in all my book cover choices, so it seems as though we have the same taste 🙂

I love this idea!!! This is such an amazing post 🥰

Thanks for reading!
Jenny in Neverland
I love these posts from you! There’s always quite a stark difference between UK and US covers but on a whole I typically prefer UK covers!
thathappyreader
That’s interesting Jenny! I certainly see a divide most months between those in the UK preferring their covers and those in North America preferring theirs. Of course there is always a few exceptions.
Stephanie
Alright, since I just read The Party Crasher, I have to say that the UK cover makes the most sense with the storyline! I think it’s so cute too! And as far as some of the others go, I mostly prefer the UK covers. Although, the US version of The Kiss Quotient definitely wins for me because it’s just so cute and it pairs so well with the covers for the other two books in the series!
thathappyreader
Thanks for reading Stephanie! I hope you enjoyed The Party Crasher as much as I did.
Lynn
Aw, what a fun post! I am definitely drawn to a more colourful and cartoony-covered book! Great post, Jodie! x

I don’t like illustrated covers much, and I am not a fan of the covers with an object on them either. Covers these days aren’t doing much for me in the contemporary fiction/romance genres. That aside, this is a fun post idea! I loved it and hope you do more.
thathappyreader
It’s a regular monthly Sunday feature Giulia! Thanks for reading.
Sophie
I love the concept of this as a series although the multiple covers thing does annoy me sometimes. The number of times I’ve thought I haven’t read something or that Goodreads has shown me the wrong book is embarrassing. Having said that, I do prefer the UK covers for most of them!
thathappyreader
Thanks Sophie! It’s the name change that has me even more confused!
