Friday Face Off: The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

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 I read this year and loved.  Two of the covers are very similar but then there’s an extra cover that is definitely different.  Check them out:

My favourite this week:

Have you read this book already?  What did you think and which is your favourite?

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

Today’s Prompt : Christmas Crackers – Ended with a bang

Small Town Horror by Ronald Malfi definitely ends on a note I didn’t expect – not necessarily a bang, but nonetheless dramatic.

Today’s Prompt : Boxing Day – feeling bloated, a palate cleanser:

You Are Here by David Nicholls is a lovely, satisfying, light hearted read.  It feels outside of the genres that I normally read in but I’ve read and enjoyed books by this author before so wanted to read this and it really was like a refreshing breath of fresh air.
