Friday Face Off: Delirium


Going back to normal Friday Face-offs, kittens, there's a book coming out next year that I covet.  Wantwantwant.  And it recently got a new and glorious cover, but I kinda still like the old one, too.  So what say you?  Below is the final cover (left) and ARC cover (right) for Lauren Oliver's Delirium -- which makes you delirious?

Quick note: in the final version, the aqua slipcover pulls away to reveal the full photo of the girl's face.  Don't know if that changes anyone's opinion...

    I love both covers! I think the hardback edition with the final cover is awesome, wouldn't mind any of them for paperback / UK cover though.

    I would have to pick the ARC cover! Very intriguing and give the buyer something to ponder. I know, speaking only for myself here, that covers like the first one usually get over looked.

    I think the final cover is better. Love the intrigue there.

    Both are cool, but I'm more drawn to the ARC cover (right). Like Theresa said, there's a certain mysterious quality that makes you go "hmm?"

    Definitely the ARC. The other one is just blah.

    I rather like the new final cover -- all that turquoise-y is striking. It also looks a bit delirious-ish with the swirls.

    I really like the final cover. It's really cool how they did that. I totally didn't notice the girl's face at first.

    Also - this is on NetGalley!

    I like both covers a lot, I do think the new one is more striking though.
