Covering it Up image

Hey Everyone! I hope you all have an awesome Friday! This week I did some online research and found out that there are some great Paranormal releases coming to Brazil and I wanted to share more Brazilian covers of books that are coming soon to my homeland!

Hope you guys enjoy them!

 

“Pretties” and “Specials” by Scott Westerfeld

Uglies was released last year and books 2 and 3 in this series will be releases later on this year:

perfeitos especiais

*”Pretties” is titled what would be “Perfects” in English instead.

The Original Covers:

perfeitos 1 6251458

 

My Thoughts:

hmmm I liked the Brazilian cover for Pretties better, but the original cover for Special looks better made for me.

 

 

“Midnighters - Secret Hour” by Scott Westerfeld:

midnighters_cover-231x351

 

The Original Cover:

the-secret-hour-scott-westerfeld

 

My Thoughts:

Same girl, different graphs, not really grabbing me here =/

 

 

“Beautiful Creatures” by Margareth Stohl and Kami Garcia:

Dezesseis luas

*Portuguese Title: Sixteen Moons*

 

The Original Cover:

beautiful creatures

 

My Thoughts:

I kind of like the Brazilian one better for this one, because the tone of purple is gorgeous, but the original font is much better.

 

 

 “13 to Life” by Shannon Delany:

a-maldicao-do-lobisomen

*Portuguese Title: “The Curse of The Werewolf”*

 

The Original Cover:

7230309

 

My Thoughts:

Gotta say that I much prefer the Brazilian cover for this one, I’m not a fan of the original =/

 

 

“Lover Revealed” by J.R. Ward:

 amante revelado

 

The Original Cover:

42898

 

My Thoughts:

hmmm this is a though one. I love the original orange tone, and the couple does have a sexy pose. But I do love woman taking control in the Brazilian cover and her eyes are gorgeous.

 

“Dead to The World” by Charlaine Harris:

 38ff9471114c6eee83c50881433a623e

*Portuguese Title: “In Search of a Vampire”*

 

The Original Cover:

imgDead to the World1

 

My Thoughts:

I’ve never been a fan of these cartoonish cover for this series, so this is an easy one for me, hands down I prefer the Brazilian one!

 

 

“Blue Bloods” by Melissa De La Cruz:

 blue_bloods_cover-233x349

 

The Original Cover:

BLOOD BLUE

 

My Thoughts:

I really like the bite marks on the original one and I dont like the doll like thing of the Brazilian one.

 

 

“Vampire Kisses” by Ellen Schreiber:

 beijos_de_vampiros_cover-233x351

 

The Original Cover:

Vampire Kisses vol1

 

My Thoughts:

The Brazilian cover is definitely cute, but other than the color red, it doesn’t really scream Vampire, does it. I'm going with the original for this one.

 

 

So, what do you guys think?

The original covers or the Brazillian ones??

    I like the Brasilian Pretties cover, mostly cos I never thought they modelson he US were the supermodels everyone in the world was supposed to be.

    Really like the Bra JR Ward cover, cool

    But that Harris title is silly

  2. Savannah says:

    I think the Brasilian cover a very pretty. Some even nicer then the US cover.

  3. Niii says:

    I dont't like the brazilian covers =x Some maybe, but in generally I'd rather the US cover!

    Faz Parte...

    Ohhhh I love this feature Larissa! It's so much fun to see the different covers and the way the title is interpreted. I've never been a fan of the cartoon covers for Sookie either, they make them appear as though they're for a younger audience, and they're most certainly not. I definitely like the Brazilian cover for 13 to Life, it's gorgeous!

  5. It's interesting to see covers from all over. I generally do like the US covers more but I think the Brazilian cover for Dead to the World is better.

  6. I really like the Bra JR Ward one that is so gorgeous.

    and Charlaine Harris one too , sometimes I wonder why other countries gets some of the hottest covers.

  7. I love seeing the covers from around the world. I'm probably in the minority, but I do like the cartoonish Sookie novel covers. :)

  8. I'm with you on the Brazilian cover of 13 to Life (I'm reading it right now)...that's beautiful! Thanks for the awesome post (I'm a bit of a Cover Whore!)

    And my new "Fine Fridays" post is up...come see!

  9. Thanks for stopping by everyone! So glad you guys enjoy these posts! Its fun to research these =)))

  10. Julie says:

    It's always interesting to see covers from other countries. So cool to see how different art departments perceive the story. I really liked this post!

  11. Wow!!! These are sooo nice! THank you for putting up the covers! The Brasilian ones are just as nice (some are even more nice) than the originals! :D

  12. I like some of the Brazilian covers better and some of the US ones better. I like seeing the different covers and liked reading which ones you preferred.

  13. LJ says:

    I agree with most of your pics, but for some reason I really like the original Beautiful Creatures and the Brazilian Blue Bloods. I absolutely love the Brazilian JR Ward! Great feature! Thanks

  14. Avery says:

    I gotta say that I love the Brazilian cover of "Pretties" more, but I love the American cover of "Specials" more... And I love the Brazilian cover of "13 to Life" more than the American, same with the "Blue Bloods" cover. It is so neat seeing all of the different covers available!

  15. @Avery

    I love seeing international covers too =D

    Glad you enjoyed it =))

  16. Missie says:

    Ha! I think I'm the only person in the world that LOVE the Southern Vampire Mystery covers! All of them, well at least the US covers!

    This is a cool feature hun. I love comparing covers and see the differences. Sometimes they are subtle and sometimes they are completely different.

  17. @Missie

    I do like some of them... I like the new one hehe

    Thanks! I love comparing too! hehe

  18. I think that Brazillian covers are far nicer. I think I may have to move to Brazil. x

  19. @Susan

    LOL move to Rio and we can hang out :LOL
