Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme being hosted by Books by Proxy .   This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite books’ covers.  The rules are fairly simple and can be found here.  Each week, following a predetermined theme choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite.  Simples.  This week as Proxy is temporarily away from the fray I’m going for a freebie theme:

‘A pie of blackbirds’

With blackbirds in mind I’ve gone for Blackbirds (Miriam Black #1) by Chuck Wendig.  This is a great series that I love and I’ve found 3 covers:

The first cover is the one I know and love – on the face of it, it’s a good deal simpler to look at than you first imagine, you really have to zoom in to appreciate the finer detail.  The middle cover is very effective in terms of a shock of colour but I’m not quite sure what’s really supposed to be going on with the illustration.  The final cover gives me the serious goosebumps – terrifying.

This week, absolutely no contest for me and I’ve made the image larger so you can really see what’s going on.
