It’s time for the September 2026 Book Cover Showdown.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. I’ll tell you what my choice is, so vote and let me know what your choice is!
But first, let’s review the results of last month’s battles:
Now onto:
Our September Battles (Polls close September 25):
You’ll Love It Here by Natalie Sue:
I like both of these covers but prefer the 3D style of the HarperCollins Canada cover making it my choice in this battle.
Friends You Haven’t Met Yet by Clare Pooley:
While I like both of these covers, I’m most attracted to the Pamela Dorman cover with its vibrant colours.
The Table Where We Meet by Jess Janz:
These two covers are quite similar but I prefer the HarperCollins cover because it includes people around the table and a more pleasing font.
The Birthing Tree by Amanda Peters:
This battle features two very different covers. While I like each of them I think the Catapult cover more closely represents the title of the book.
Eyes On You by Adele Parks:
These are both very pretty covers and this was my most difficult battle this month. I do think that the U.K. cover more closely reflects the title of the book and therefore it is my choice.
So there you have it – the September 2026 Bookcover Showdown. I’d love to know which covers you prefer, so please vote to let me know! Do you have a cover you’d like me to feature in an upcoming battle? Let me know in the comments. I hope you have a wonderful day!
