Old Books, New Looks

Ok, so not old books. Already released books, that's a little better, but doesn't make as catchy of a blog post title :D It seems to be an ongoing trend in bookworld these days to come up with a whole new cover concept for an updated or paperback release. Sometimes I like the new one better, sometimes I am peeved that they changed the look because usually, they match the sequel in a series to the madeover cover, so if I bought the hardcover, now my books won't be all matchy and pretty on my shelves. Ah well, c'est la vie. So here are a few that I've come across lately.

Here's what I think: LOVE the new Eternal Ones, LOVE the new Natalie Hargrove (the original was a bit too cheesy for my liking), and I am torn between the two Between Shades of Grey covers, both are very pretty, but something about the single sprout coming up in the snow on the original cover gives the book a more dramatic, somber feel.
So what do you think? Fan of the new or the original covers?
