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 comment/link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.
This week I’ve chosen a book that is due for release later this year and that I’m really excited about. Exit Party by Emily St John Mandel. I really like this author so much. Here are the covers:
My favourite:
It’s difficult to choose isn’t it? But, I think I like the cover above best and have no explanation as to why that is!

This week I’ve chosen a book that I shall be picking up soon and I’m really excited to get to, The Tapestry of Fate (Amina al-Sirafi, #2) by Shannon Chakraborty. Again this week, only two covers. Take a look:
My favourite:
I like both covers to be honest, the lovely purple tones of the first and the shiny city in the background but on balance I love all the little details and the contrast with the bottle green and orange.

This week I’ve chosen a book that I can’t wait to pick up Dollface by Lindy Ryan, an author I’m very much enjoying at the moment. This book has only two covers but wow – they are so different. Take a look:
My favourite:
Don’t get me wrong – I love the dramatically pink cover and the little trail of blood running from the top of the book. But, come on. This blue cover is so retro. I love the font and the colour – plus the descriptions says ‘Barbie meets Scream’ so it also appears totally fitting. Cannot wait.

This week I’ve chosen a book that I’ve just read and loved. I hadn’t realised this had two covers so take a look. Snake-Eater by T Kingfisher:
My favourite:
Originally, I thought this was a very unusual cover but it’s really grown on me! And, it is very fitting for the story here.
