Friday Face Off: Run by Blake Crouch

FFO

Today I’m returning to the  Friday Face Off, originally created by Books by Proxy).  I’ve missed these for the past few months and so would like to get back to comparing covers (and hopefully I will be updating this page with a new banner.  This is an opportunity to look at a book of your choice and shine the spotlight on the covers.  Of course this only works for those books that have alternative covers (although sometimes I use this to look at a series of books to choose a favourite). . So, if you have a book that has alternative covers, highlight them and choose your favourite.  If you’re taking part it would be great if you leave a link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.

This week I’ve chosen a book that is on my shelf waiting to be read.  Run by Blake Crouch.  I like the sound of this one and the covers are very ominous:

My favourite this week:

They’re all different and yet similar – if that makes sense.  I quite like the blue and the yellow but that sticker annoys me.  I also like ominous feel of the bottom left.  But I think my favourite this week is:

This cover feels out of focus and fuzzy but I feel that gives it an edge and I also like the grey title.  This one definitely gives the feeling of trying to run away.  Which is your favourite?

Join me next week in highlighting one of your reads with different covers.

    I like your pick and also #3, which feels very ominous. I can’t wait to read this!

      This was fun – looking back at the covers now having read this I think the blurry cover works well – also No.3 like you mentioned – which looks very threatening.

    I agree with you. Out of the four, I feel it has the most personality.

      Yes, and it’s a bit fuzzy, like something is off – which it definitely is.
