‘You better think of something fast, because, if he turns me into a mummy you’re the first one I’m coming after.’

FFO.jpg

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:

Mummy “It shuffles through the dry, dusty darkness – a cover which features mummification

This week I had a few possibles but I decided to go with The Mummy by Anne Rice.  I haven’t actually read this book but …. that’s the way it crumbles.  Here are the covers:

And my favourite:

Next week – Guitar

Future themes:

16/06/2017 – Guitar “You couldn’t not like someone who liked the guitar”

23/06/2017 – Cat “In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this”

30/06/2017 – Hat “It is always cruel to laugh at people, of course, although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to control yourself “

07/07/2017 – Gold “All that is gold does not glitter”

14/07/2017 – Boats “The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea, in a beautiful pea green boat…”

21/07/2017 – Planet “Any planet is ‘Earth’ to those who live on it”

    This is probably totally biased because my copy has that particular cover, but my favourite is the gold one.

      To be honest – it was a very close second for me.
      Lynn 😀

    I agree Lynn, I love your favorite cover the best as well. I’m joining in today, and I nearly chose this book but decided on something else. It’s fun to search for covers!

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      I had a couple of other choices – I was actually fancying Frankenstein – as a bit of a cheat – reanimated dead tissue??
      Lynn 😀

    LOL on the title of you post! As usual you thought of a very catchy one 🙂

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      Haha – I could find lots of quote material from The Mummy.
      Lynn 😀

    I like the last one.

    Oh yes… a great choice of book, Lynn. And I completely agree with your favourite cover, too. While I also like the shiny gold mask of Tutankhamun, the other two don’t come close. Have a great week-end.

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      I also liked the shiny mask.
      You have a good weekend too. 😀

    I also like the mummy wrapped cover! Looks so mysterious! Great picks! Here’s my Friday Face Off:

      I do like that cover – I also like the shiny one in fairness.
      Lynn 😀

    I definitely agree with you on this one! Love the sinister eye and dirty bandages. Very creepy! 😀 The other covers definitely don’t compare!

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      Yeah – I think you nailed it there with the dirty bandages – adds an edge of authenticity.
      Lynn 😀

    Tough one this week! I didn’t even think of Rice’s The Mummy, though I should have (shame I haven’t read it though, sigh…). I’m not really in love with any of the covers this week, but I think I would have gone with your choice too 🙂

    Haha I love the quote in your title – such a fun film 😀 And I agree on the cover, it has to be the eye peeping out of the bandages!

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      I love that Mummy film – and I see it’s been remade – must watch and see how the two compare.
      Lynn 😀

      • jessicabookworm's avatar jessicabookworm

        I am torn by the fact they have remade it…I will probably see the new one at some point, but I am not rushing as it has a lot to live up to for me!

      • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

        Me too – I will watch it but I love the film with Brendon Fraser and Rachel Weisz so this will have a lot to prove.
        Lynn 😀
