Today PJV spotlights, Num8ers by Rachel Ward and is hosting a giveaway to win a copy of this YA novel.
Since her mother’s death, fifteen-year-old Jem has kept a secret. When her eyes meet someone else’s, a number pops into her head - the date on which they will die. Knowing that nothing lasts forever, Jem avoids relationships, but when she meets a boy called Spider, and they plan a day out together, her life takes a new twist and turn. Waiting for the London Eye, she sees everyone in the queue has the same number - something terrible is going to happen.

I want to read this book --sounds good
I like the US cover better! I think it looks more intriguing.
Thanks for the contest!
I used to like the UK cover better than the US, but now I think the US cover has grown on me.
I like the US cover best, for sure! The UK cover looks kind of 80's to me, not that that's bad, just not my taste.
This sounds like a great book. I have seen these giveaways all over blogland but this is the first I see open to Canadians.thanks.
I like the US cover better.
I like the US cover best.
I like the US cover better. UK's cover has nice colors, though.
Sorry, I just read the twitter directions for tweeting about the contest. Here's my new, correct tweet: http://twitter.com/Door2Wonderland/status/10288296129
Thanks, and sorry for the confusion! I'm terrible at reading directions! lol
Looks like a great read.
I like the US cover better: much simpler and more streamlined, and the red's very effective.
Nice contest. And, while both covers are nice, I prefer the US cover.
I prefer the US cover. I like the coloring and the red eye.
I like the US cover....took me a bit to see the eyeball....
I really like the US cover.
Man, this book is everywhere online! It must be really good, I'll have to read it.
I like the US cover
I like the UK cover
I like the US cover better
I would have to say the US cover is my favorite, but the UK cover is rather intriguing as well.
I very much prefer the US version of the cover. I think the red eye is quite an eye catching contrast to the white/gray.

I actually like the UK cover better. It catches your eye! I also am entering:)
I like the UK cover better. Even though it has a simple white background, I like that there's a picture in the text of the title.
I follow on google friend connect.
I like the US cover better. It is so eye catching. No pun intended.

I definitely prefer the US cover most of all. This looks like a good read. Thanks for sharing!
I like both covers :) Thanks for hosting the contest!!!
many thanks for hosting this giveaway -- and i like the US cover better!
I like the UK cover better - the red eye thing kinda creeps me out ;)
Both are pretty nifty covers, but the US is more memorable, for sure. And (no pun intended, honestly) there's more visual interest in the US cover. Certainly not forgettable.
I like the US cover better. It conveys the storyline better.
I like the UK cover better because it's more eye-catching and colorful. I love me some colors!
I like the US cover better. All the numbers!
Ah! I honestly like both...but if I had to really pick, I'd choose the UK better. More colours are nice :)
I like the US cover. The other one looks dated like something from the '60s.
I like the US cover better. The UK one is just too much
I like the vibrant colors and the arrangement of the font on the UK cover. The US has nifty numbers but I always prefer colors. :D
I’ve love to read this one. I prefer the UK cover.
I really like the US cover a bit more,
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
I like the US cover better. The UK cover looks like a retro movie poster and so wouldn't catch my eye in a bookstore.
The US cover definitely. It's more mysterious. The UK one looks like an old horror flick. :P
I prefer the US cover much more, it is way scarier!! (and much more sophisticated too)
I keep hearing great things about this one. Please count me in :D
I like the US cover better.
I love the US cover!!!
I think the US cover is much better. The red eye with the black and white seems to draw your eye in more.
I like the US cover better. If the font were different on the UK cover I think it might win though.
I am a follower here and on twitter.
I like both, but the US one is my favorite!
I like the US version.....Stacy
