Inspired by Jenny of Wondrous Reads' US Vs. UK posts, in which she discusses whether or not she prefers the US or UK covers for a YA novel.
Original vs Reprint does the same thing, except it's looking at whether the reprint cover is better than the original or not.
As this is my first one, I thought I would look at a few that I know of, and every one after will look at just one book. So, without further ado...
UK covers for Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr.

Original vs Reprint
I have to say I prefer the reprints, which are also the covers that have always been used in America. When I first read Wicked Lovely, it was for a book club and I had no real interest in it. The cover put me off as well, when I bought it. The book is actually amazing, as is it's sequel, but the covers, although they fit the story, are too urban for my liking. I have the originals of both, however.
UK covers for Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
Original vs Reprint
I prefer the reprint - which is the cover America has always used. I think it adds a bit more mystery to the book, sets up a mood - it says "fantasy" more than the original does. However I do like the original, I think it's interesting, a bit different.
UK covers for Posion Study by Maria V. Snyder.

Original vs Reprint
I much prefer the reprint! There's so much more going on, but without it being over crowded. I think the book and bottles go well with the title to give some idea about the story. The original dosen't really give much insight, in my opinion.
I'll leave it there for now. So what do you think? Do you prefer the originals, or the reprints?
