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 – the list has been updated to help out those of you who like to plan ahead – if you have a cover in mind that you’re really wanting to share then feel free to leave a comment about a future suggested theme. This week’s theme:

  ‘All right! They’re spiders from Mars! You happy?’ – A cover featuring a critter of the eight legged variety

I’m not overly keen on the top three covers to be honest and I have no idea what the idea behind the third cover is at all.  It certainly stands out in this bunch as the odd one out.  I like the bottom two covers.  I like the purple and black but on balance my favourite is:

Like last week I’ve added  a Mr Linky here so that you can leave a link if you wish or please leave me a link in the comments so I can visit and check out your covers.  Thanks

Next week – a scary cover
