‘.. If he wasn’t fathered by the black ram in the full of the moon my name is not Ragnar’
6 October 2017 
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:
‘Then let the crabs be cursed by Odin’ – a cover featuring a Viking ‘
I had a few books in mind for this one but when I checked they didn’t have alternative covers, so another tough week! I’ve gone for : The Grim Company (Grim Company #1) by Luke Scull. Strictly speaking these covers aren’t really vikings – although they could be right?
Which is your favourite?
Next week – a cover featuring a Dragon
Future themes:
13th October 2017 – You have nice manners for a thief, and a LIAR!’ – a cover with a dragon
20th October 2017 – ‘Me and my….’ – a cover featuring a Shadow
27th October 2017 – “Thus with a kiss I die” – a cover featuring a couple
3rd November 2017 – ‘Desperate affairs require desperate measures’ – a regency style cover
10th November 2017 – ‘zip it, lock it and throw away the key – a cover featuring a key
17th November 2017 – Snap! – a cover featuring a double image or reflection
24th November 2017 – ‘I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently’ – a cover featuring snow
1st December 2017 – The pen is mightier than the sword – a cover featuring a fancy font
8th December 2017 – ‘Do not go gentle’ – a cover featuring the night…
15th December 2017 – Hubble bubble toil and trouble – a cover featuring a portion/perfume bottle
Books and travelling with Lynn 
I totally agree with your choice of cover.
Thanks – I did struggle finding one for this topic.
Lynn 😀
I actually like the one to the left of the one you picked better. Maybe because its darker
Yeah, it’s not a bad cover either.
Lynn 😀
Impressive: that helm looks far more powerful and menacing than a warrior in full armor! 🙂
It does now you mention it.
Lynn 😀
I definitely think your choice works for “Vikings.” That would be hard, I completely forgot about this today, but I probably wouldn’t have been able to think of a book anyway!
I struggled too – I wondered if the Train your dragons books had any covers but I’ve not read them. Sometimes I can think of a book but there are no alternative covers.
Lynn 😀
Yes – the helm looks fab, though I think I like the close-up version on the cover to the left.
It’s a popular choice.
Lynn 😀
Oh my gosh! I was at a loss as to what book/cover to feature today and couldn’t think of any so I just skipped this week’s. I can’t believe I forgot about this one, though! Oops! Anyway, I like the helmet designs too, but my favorite might be the one to the left of your winner, featuring the close up 🙂
I struggled with this one – was thinking of How to Train Your Dragon series but haven’t read them.
Lynn 😀
I agree with your choice – very cool helmet 🙂
Thanks 😀
