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:

Playing cards “Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well” or – Spring: a cover that is mainly the colour green.

Haha – this was a toughie.  Now, this may be a slight cheat because I’ve gone for books with cards on them  but, okay, these are tarot cards – well, I’m going with it.  I’m a big cheater!  But, just to make up for that I’m giving you book 1 and 2 so you can decide which style you like best.  I’ve only read the first in series but do have No.2 and plan to catch up soon:

This is difficult to choose between, I definitely do like the tarot style covers but these two right here really do grab the attention, I just love them:

Which is your favourite?  Next week – back to school!
