It’s time for Who Wears it Better in July 2026? 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! Thanks to reader Jamie for the first three battles this month.
But first, let’s review the results of last month’s battles:

Now onto:
Our July Battles (Polls are now closed):
Hollow Bones by Jodi Picoult:


This was a really difficult choice because I love both covers, but the vibrant blue of the U.S. cover ultimately won me over. It’s my pick.
That Night by Gillian McAllister:


I love the colours in both of these covers, but one stood out just a little more to me—the U.S. cover, thanks to that stunning magenta sky.
The Good Eye by Jess Gibson:


This isn’t the type of cover I’m naturally drawn to, as this graphic style doesn’t really appeal to me. That said, of the two options, the Vintage Digital cover speaks to me more, making it my choice in this matchup.
The Deal by Elle Kennedy:



This book has had several covers over the years, so I picked three of them for this battle. The Piatkus cover has a wonderfully whimsical charm that really appeals to me, making it my favourite of the three. I’ll reveal the two top vote-getters next month.
The Final Target by Nora Roberts:


U.K. Cover
The final battle this month was a tough one because I genuinely love both of these covers. I have a feeling it’s going to be a close contest. After much pondering, I’ve decided to cast my vote for the U.S. cover.
So there you have it – Who Wears it Better in July 2026? 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!

I voted for the same covers except for the first one, where I slightly prefer the UK cover. I do love blue covers though!

I was behind on the June post, but got to this one right away! I think I liked the more eye catching colors of the first two books. That third one I didn’t really like either cover, but ended up choosing the same as you. On the three for The Deal, while I liked the show cover because I loved the show, I went with the third one. And then for the Nora Roberts, the roses were just very eye catching.

I really enjoyed this month’s picks. I found it especially hard to choose between the covers for “The Good Eye.” I can’t wait to see the results next month. 🙂

I love these, they’re so fun! I was surprised I preferred US covers for a few of these 🙂 ! Also, if you don’t mind me asking what plugin do you use for the voting? I’ve been wanting to find something like this 🙂

Thanks for voting Veros! I used a few who became either incompatible or wanted to start charging. This one is called Poll Maker and I’ve used it for a few months now.
