Friday Face Off : Sparkling like the sea – a cover that is turquoise

FFO

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:

Sparkling like the sea – a cover that is turquoise

Hopefully this week’s theme was a little bit easier.  I’ve gone for a fairly recent book.  I’m rather ashamed to confess that I have a copy of this but haven’t managed to get to it yet so I need to read quicker!!  Last Girl Ghosted by Lisa Unger.  Have you read this one??  What did you think?

    These are all pretty good! Love the one with the phone theme, and the one with the finger through the misted glass is creepy!

    I also really like the misted glass – it puts me in mind of another cover that I can’t quite pin down.
