UK Cover Alert: I Was Here by Gayle Forman + YA's New Cover Trend!

So, here we have the new UK of I Was Here by Gayle Forman. I like it.  And I'm very excited to read the book.

Compare it to the US cover below and let me know which one you like best.

I Was Here by Gayle Forman || Release date: January 2015.

When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated. She and Meg shared everything - so how was there no warning?

But when Cody travels to Meg�s college town to pack up the belongings left behind, she discovers that there�s a lot that Meg never told her. About her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her dead-end small town in Washington.

About Ben McAllister, the boy with a guitar and a sneer, who broke Meg�s heart. And about an encrypted computer file that Cody can�t open - until she does, and suddenly everything Cody thought she knew about her best friend�s death gets thrown into question.

Which one is your fave?

Also, while I was looking through my 'awaiting-cover' folder on Goodreads, I noticed something - maybe a little cover trend forming - I call it the 'Cover Collage' - and okay, I don't have all that many examples to share, so maybe it's not a trend quite yet - but maybe it's the start of something. Hey, you heard it here first!

The movie tie-in edition of If I Stay which will look great alongside your copy of I Was Here.

Katie Cotugno's new book 99 days has got a total cover collage going on.

As has These Days Are Ours by Michelle Haimoff which recently got a whole new look

Not quite a collage for Proof of Forever - but it fits the trend - and I'll use it.

What about you? Have you seen any more covers that fit this new trend? Hey, maybe it's been around all along, and I just noticed it right now. That's always a possibility!
