Friday Face Off : All The Dangerous Things

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 decided to look back at a book I read some time ago by an author that I really like.  All The Dangerous Things was the second book I picked up by Stacy Willingham (A Flicker in the Dark being the first) and my review for her latest book (Only If You’re Lucky) can be found here.

This week my favourite is:

ATDT3

I quite like all the covers to be honest but I chose the above cover because I like the solitary feel to the central character and it fits with the story.

Which is your favourite?

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

Monthly Wrap Up/What’s on my Plate: Jan/Feb

I’m trying to post a wrap up for the end of each month, mainly to help me to keep track of my reading and at the same time look at what I’m intending to read during the month ahead (inspired by Books Bones and Buffy’s What’s on My Plate.

I didn’t post a ‘What’s on my Plate’ for January so this will be my first post for 2024.

Here’s what I read during January:

  1. Miss Austen Investigates, the Hapless Milliner by Jessica Bull
  2. The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers
  3. Relight My Fire by CK McDonnell
  4. The September House by Carissa Orlando
  5. The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
  6. Only If you’re Lucky by Stacy Willingham
  7. Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge by Lizzie Pook
  8. 1 x SPFBO Finalist
  9. What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher
  10. 1 x SPFBO Finalist

I managed to read and review all my January books and catch up with some late reviews.  For the month of Feburary these are the books that I will be reading (in fact I’ve already made a start, I’ve read two, made a start on a third and reviewed one of the books listed.  Hopefully I can complete the remaining books and at least one SPFBO finalist (we’ll see, February is a short month but I’d like to stay on track if possible).
