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 (this doesn’t have to be a book that you’ve read), compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Future’s themes are listed below – 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. I’ve also listed events that take place during the year, that I’m aware of, so you can link up your covers – if you’re aware of any events that you think I should include then give me a shout.
I’ve added themes in below. For information, I’m trying out some new ideas so along with coming up with particular items for book covers I thought we could also look for certain elements contained within the book or that play a large part in the story – this really broadens things out because I have plenty of more ideas with this – I’ve gone for a few of the Tough Travel Themes (so a book with that theme – just choose any book – the theme isn’t necessarily on the cover, then compare covers), also, I’ve thrown in some genres and some colours. Hopefully this will open things out a little and give us some more freedom to come up with new books.
This week’s theme:
Books with ‘Under the Sea
Again, I’ve got to lighten up and find some easier themes! Anyway, I did have a few ideas this week but I’ve gone for a book that is good with both cover and title: The Girl Beneath the Sea by Andrew Mayne (Underwater Investigation Unit 1). I loved the first one and seriously need to catch up with the latest instalments.
Two of the covers are very similar, I actually quite like the middle one because of the burst of light through the middle but I’m not fond of the badge.
My favourite:
Which one is your favourite?
If you’re taking part in this week’s theme feel free to leave your link in the comments below.
If you know of an event that’s coming up let me know and I’ll try and include covers that work for the event itself so that you can link up to the Friday Face Off and, as always, if you wish to submit an idea then leave me a comment – or if you’d like to host a week then simply let me know. Also, I would just mention that it’s very possible that some of these might be repeats from previous FFOs although I have tried to invent more ‘open ended’ prompt that can be interpreted differently and also prompts that relate to emotions. Finally, don’t struggle with any of these, this is meant to be a fun way of highlighting books. If you can’t come up with a book you think fits for a particular week use a freebie – perhaps a recent read for example:
Next Week’s Theme : Sparkling like the sea – a cover that is turquoise

Books and travelling with Lynn 
This is definitely my favorite as well. I am going to check what the book is about. Mine is a classic scifi: https://wordsandpeace.com/2022/06/03/friday-face-off-under-the-sea/
Thanks 😀
I decided to not to participate today because every sea themed book I’ve read I’ve either already used for FFO or it only had one cover. But I agree with your choice!
Thanks 😀
I like that one too, reminds me of one of the covers I featured this week for The Ocean at the End of the Lane 😀
Ahh, yes, now you mention it I can completely see that.
Lynn 😀
I like all of the covers and can’t decide between them. The book also sounds very interesting. I haven’t read many books set underwater.
Yes, after coming up with theme I realised I didn’t have a lot of books to use!
Lynn 😀
