‘“A book is as dangerous as any journey you might take. The person who closes the back cover may not be the same one that opened the front one. ‘

Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers. The rules are fairly simple each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Future week’s themes are listed below. This week’s theme:
Book “A room without books is like a body without a soul”
I struggled with this one a little although I’m sure I’ll think of a load of books the day after! I’ve gone with the Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman – this is a great series that I can’t recommend enough!
And my winner,:

I love this cover. It’s simple and classic. I probably would have preferred this cover with the colouring of the green cover but there you go.
Which is your favourite?
Future themes:

27 January 2017
I like the green cover too. But I like the key on the blue one.
Yeah – the two need to be converged!
Lynn 😀
The middle cover.
I love that quote, too, though. A book is a dangerous journey. I know I’ve read a book and when I was done looked at the world a different way.
It’s a great quote – by Mr Lawrence! He’s got a lot of great quotes tucked up his sleeves!
Lynn 😀
The blue cover is quite elegant…
It actually is! Thanks
Lynn 😀
Great pick, and a great series. And I’ve been thinking about jumping on board this meme, maybe you’ll see me joining the fun very soon 🙂
Excellent – you have such a lot of books to choose from!
Lynn 😀
Striking cover in an understated kind of way.
yeah, sort of classy really
Lynn 😀
Yep, definitely prefer the blue one!
It is quite classy I think
Lynn 😀
I prefer the blue cover – it is the classiest one:). It’s a series I have waiting on my TBR pile…
I hope you get the chance to read – I’m loving it.
Lynn 😀
I’ve got it – but got VERY carried away with NetGalley for February, so it may be a while…
I don’t think I’ve heard of this book but I really like the cover you’ve chosen 🙂
I think you would love this series. It’s just fun, entertaining and lovely.
Lynn 😀
I do like fun and lovely stories 🙂
