Same Book, Different Cover

I love this meme created and hosted by Inge @The Belgian Reviewer highlighting the difference between covers for the same book.

My Favourite Covers of 2017

I do love a pretty cover and I must confess that time and again I end up judging a book but it's cover art. These are my favourite covers for books I've read and listened to this year, a mixture of ARCs, library books and a book I bought after reading a fab review by...
