Picture This, Picture That: Stranded by Emily Barr


Well these covers couldn't be anymore different could they?! One looks like a chick lit cover, the other looks (to me) like the sort of cover I would find on a crime novel! Emily Barr's new book Stranded is due out in the new version paperback (right) on October 25th, and for that it's been given a new cover. I'm really not entirely sure I like this cover - the font, as I said, is one I associate with crime novels, and wouldn't make me think this was chick lit - is this intentional on the part of the publishers?? For me, the earlier cover is far nicer, I adore the blue of the woman's dress and think it just looks like a classy cover. So... which do you prefer?! Vote below and we'll see which is the more popular!

  1. I think there's more to Emily Barr's novels than "chick lit" (and I say that as a huge chick lit fan!).

  2. I HATE the other cover, I actually said out loud "ew" when I saw it. I always like to see cover differences to see which one I'd rather on my shelf.

  3. I'd be far more likely to pick up the book with its original cover.

  5. That's a chick lit?! Wouldn't have thought it from the new cover and the old one borders more on women's fiction to me (though that might be my own made-up definitions of chick lit and women's fiction).
