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, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite.   Future week’s themes are listed below – the list has been updated to help out those of you who like to plan ahead – 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. This week’s theme:

 ‘Remember, remember the fifth of November,’ – A cover inspired by Bonfire Night (i.e. Guy Fawkes, Gunpowder Plot – think fires, fireworks, historical)

I thought I would have had more books to choose from with a fire theme but I’ve already used a couple in the past and didn’t want to reuse them so I’ve gone this time for Blackwing (Raven’s Mark #1) by Ed McDonald:

The first cover really fits the theme this week – it looks like a fire is blazing at the back of the character and it almost has the appearance of black ash raining down upon him.  My favourite:

Like last week I’ve added  a Mr Linky here so that you can leave a link if you wish or please leave me a link in the comments so I can visit and check out your covers.  Thanks

Next week – a cover featuring a critter of the eight legged variety
