All About That Cover: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

" All About That Cover " is a weekly event hosted here that focuses on the differences between various book covers of the same book, such as cover changes, covers from different countries as well as special editions.  U.S vs. UK Cover U.S. Edition UK Edition I just love Laini's writing style.
