Top Ten Favorite Covers: UK Edition

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, and this week's theme is "Top Ten Favorite Covers". Instead of just doing the same pretty covers as everyone else (I'm sure Incarnate and Everneath will be on many lists today), I decided to go a more specific by posting my ten favorite UK covers. And I swear, I had not planned on this becoming "Top Ten Covers: The Sarah Dessen Edition", but I am in love with whoever designs her UK covers! Those would look so pretty together on my bookshelf! I really love the covers for Birthmarked and The Scorpio Races as well, can you tell I have a thing for good graphic design?:P

What are some of your favorite covers, UK or other?

And I love that cover for The Scorpio Races.

Also, I have the UK version of Just Listen. I quite like it! And I love that you went UK with this list -- my list also includes ONE UK cover (it's just so much better than the US version).

my list: wishlist covers
At March 6, 2012 6:44 PM , Amy @ Tripping Over Books said...: These covers are all awesome. I've seen Sarah Dessen's UK covers, but only some of them. I LOVE the UK Lock and Key!! And I really like the UK cover of Birthmarked; it's SOOOO different from the US cover I see all the time.
It's so great to see covers of books I love from different places!

Also, Scorpio Races? LOVE. And I LOVE the UK covers (as compared to the US) for Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series. WAY better... OH! And I really like the UK ones for Graceling and Fire and... seriously. I'ms topping. I could go on for hours.
