Old Books, New Looks {3}

Thought it was about time for another round of Old Books, New Looks, where I feature the covers of books that have already been released and their redesigned paperback counterpart! :) Sometimes I like the new better, sometimes I like the old. Here's a few that I've come across lately:

The OLDIES vs. The NEWSIES









Here's my thoughts:
~Ruby Red: love both of these, actually! The red cover, in person, is so shimmery and shiny, hard not to love. But I also love the pretty dress and London background on the new cover.
~Chime: ugh. Not a fan of the change. The original is stunning. The new one? Um, what's with disproportionate floating head?
~Please Ignore Vera Dietz: on the fence about these. I love the simplicity and rawness of the original, because it fit the rawness of the story. The new one is so pretty though, and definitely fits the story, too.
~Cryer's Cross: Eck. The original is one of my favorite covers around---as creepy as can be and completely significant to the story. The new one looks cheesy, like a Twilight-meadow-scene knock off. Nope, don't like it.

So what do you think of these? Like the oldies or the newbies?
