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 my book is Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison. This book already has some rave reviews and so I’m really excited for it’s release.
Here are the covers:
My favourite is:
I just find the critter on the front really quite scary, sinister even.
Which is your favourite?

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:
A heart – for Valentine’s day past
I hope you all had an easy time finding covers. I did have another book in mind this week but decided to go with: Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough – because I do love this author – in a totally non-bunny-boiler-not-a-stalker-way I hasten to add!
The covers:
My favourite this week is:
I just love the colours for this and it has a certain simplicity.
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
I’ll be updating the list soon to take it through a few more months – if you have any suggestions you’d like to see adding then drop a note in the comments. Thanks
