Hardcover vs Paperback 98

The Sweetheart of Prosper County by Jill S. Alexander

Hardcover

Paperback

Amazon.com:

This year, Austin Gray is going to wave to the crowd from the hood of a shiny pickup truck in the annual No-Jesus Christmas Parade, and finally show the town bully that she’s got what it takes to be the Sweetheart of Prosper County! Austin will do almost anything to become Sweetheart, including joining the Future Farmers of America and raising an animal—a rooster with an attitude named Charles Dickens. She has lots of support: her oldest friend, Maribel, her new FFA friends (including the reigning Sweetheart and a very cute cowboy), a mysterious Cajun outcast, and an evangelical Elvis impersonator. But will her momma ever stop being overprotective, and start letting Austin live her own life?

Oh man, I just LOOOOOOOOOVE this book! I guess I was a little sad to see they changed the cover because I thought it was so darn cute, but I guess I could see how a rooster on a cover might not attract the girls that would enjoy this book. At least they kept the same type treatment which I also adored!

Thanks to Kelly who pointed out this makeover!

  2. I love the rooster! But I've heard a few people say they thing he's weird :( So I guess the girl appeals to those people.

  3. That rooster is cute. ;) But I have to say that the paperback also looks great. Like she's having a lot of fun, just relaxing and hanging out.

  4. As cute as the rooster is, my vote would have to go to the paperback cover. It's cute, fun and I would totally get that book just for that cover.

  5. Oh brother.... another cover with a face on it. Can't anyone think of something more creative than just slapping a model on a book cover?

    I like the rooster, it's different and cute.

  6. I'm a fan of the new paperback. I actually saw it at the bookstore the other day and really wanted to buy it. I think it's cute although the rooster is too.

  8. I haven't read this book yet but I have to say I find the top cover more appealing because of it's quirkiness.

  9. The rooster gets my vote - I like its uniqueness and chickens in general :). It would definitely have made be stop and give the book a second look if I was browsing a shelf.
