Of the books I read last month, only two had alternate cover editions.

The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden, author of The Winternight Trilogy (The Bear and the Nightingale) is an upcoming historical fantasy novel set during World War I (expected publication February 13, 2024). I think I have to give call this one a tie – I like the US cover because it’s rather unique, but the colors of the UK one are just so darn pretty!

Mrs. Caliban, written by Rachel Ingalls and originally published in 1982, is an interesting novella about a lonely house wife and a frog man. The US covers win this round for me; I like the US hardcover edition best, but the paperback is certainly not without its charm.

And with that, on to a new year of reading!
