Today I’m returning to the Friday Face Off, originally created by Books by Proxy). 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 by a favourite author. All the Murmuring Bones by AG Slatter was, I think, the first book I read by Slatter and definitely left me hooked. I’ve read a further four books from her Sourdough Universe and I’m always excited when a new book is on the horizon. Lets take a look at the covers for All the Murmuring Bones:
My favourite:
I’ve decided to go with the cover with which I’m most familiar. I do actually like a couple of the other covers but when I look more closely at them the execution isn’t quite as good as I would like.

This week I’ve chosen a book by a favourite author. The House of Cursed Women by CJ Cooke. This is due for release in October and I absolutely can’t wait to dive in. Here’s the two covers.
My favourite:
I feel like this is a very obvious choice for me this week. But I like this cover and to be really honest I’m not particularly fond of the other one.

This week I’ve chosen a book by an author that I really enjoy. Traitors’ Nest by Frances Hardinge which is due out later this year. This sounds really good – here’s the description and check out the two covers below:
My favourite:
I find both of these covers interesting for different reasons but I really like the font for this one and the more explosive colours.

This week I’ve chosen a book by an author that I’m very much enjoying at the moment and seems to be having a few earlier books rereleased – deep joy! The Raven and the Reindeer is a retellling of the Snow Queen, originally published in 2016. I love this author and I’m a sucker for retellings so I’m pretty excited to read this one. Here’s the two covers.
My favourite:
I love this cover, in fact I really like both covers so it’s difficult to choose but, this one gives me gothic, almost Edgar Allan Poe vibes.

This week I’ve chosen a horror story as this fits in nicely with Books, Bones & Buffy‘s Summer of Horror event. I haven’t read this book yet and I’ve heard slightly mixed reviews but I’m intrigued so hoping to pick it up soon. Headlights by CJ Leede – check out the covers (both a bit disturbing imo):
