Cover vs. Cover: Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien

This week's pick is...

Birthmarked

VS.  

Hardcover                      Paperback

Never really been a fan of the Hardcover. The girl looks a bit odd, probably because only one random bit of her hair is in color. Then there are those random scribbles in the middle. What are those supposed to be? The paperback is simple and it works well with the book. As the ribbon is very important to the plot.
Final Verdict: Paperback
