Have you seen the beautiful Norwegian 'Die for me' cover?

Like it, love it, hate it?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the cover.

The Norwegian cover to the left , to the right we have the US cover.
I might not be entitled a vote in this matter but I do love the Norwegian cover. The more I look at it, the more I love it. After staring at it for several minutes now I think I might actually be a little bit in love. Look at that lovely purple haze over Paris and Kate lying there on her bed, perhaps mourning?

If you haven't read Die For Me by Amy Plum you might want to check out my review.

The cover design is by a talented Norwegian woman called Elisabeth Bjone, you can see more of Elisabeth's cover art here.

    Now I never thought another cover could compete with the UK one but now I am not so sure.

    That is a really beautiful cover, usually for me it's a clear choice which one I like best, but in this case I think I have equal loves for them both :-)

    kara-karina@Nocturnal Book Reviews:In my opinion that is impossible :)

    Nimue:I agree, they are both pretty.

    Stephanie :Ah, lucky girl you have something to look forward to then.

    Khadija:Yes, the US cover is lovely but I have fallen in love with the Norwegian one. It's something special.

    MoonStar:I agree, I would love to own a copy as well, just to pretty up my shelf a bit.

    Erica:Yaaay!

    Magic_Of_Reading:I'm so happy that a Norwegian designer made that pretty cover.

    Vivienne:Perhaps we can agree that it's a tie?

    Siljeblomst:It is. I think it's great that they've made an original cover, it's so boring when the US or UK cover is being used.

    Blodeuedd:Jippi! :)

    mummazappa:A tie with the pretty US cover is a-ok.

    Christina / Book Addict:Sharing this was my pleasure :)

    I'm not sure, I can't decide... the Norweigan one looks more adult, but I like the colours of the US version.

    I like both of them since they have similar design elements. Like the cityscape in the background and the design around the title.

    roro:Thanks :)

    Hanna:It can be difficult since they're bot great.

    Jenny N.:They have very similiar design but yet they're also two very different pretties :)

    I've had the book on my shelf since the beginning of June and haven't read it yet! Shame on me. I should read it soon. But I do like the US cover a lot better. The cover was a big reason why I bought the book and made me curious about the plot. I should read it soon. I've just completely forgot it :) The Norwegian cover is not that bad but it's a bit boring compared to the US version. The US cover is more mysterious.

    Oh that is gorgeous! The tone and colours, just so pretty. I love both of these covers, not sure that I can choose the better one! I love seeing the different international cover arts though.

    I definitely prefer the Norwegian cover. It combines the best of the ARC and final covers. The final cover is pretty, but it doesn't convey much about the book -- least of all the darkness. The Norway cover is both pretty and dark, a perfect fit.

    Aww! Thanks for all the kind words about our cover. I had a hard time nailing this one, perhaps because I liked the book so much. Even if you don't read Norwegian, you may enjoy this illustrated blog post about the process: http://www.forlagsliv.no/bilderogbokstaver/2011/06/28/en-lang-prosess/
