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.
My book this week is a very recent read (not yet reviewed in fact – watch this space next week) – Atalanta by Jennifer Saint, Here are the covers:
My favourite this week is :
I prefer the warmer tones and all the little details. Which is your favourite?

Again, this week as last, I like both of the covers so this was a tough choice – but I couldn’t resist the above when push came to shoe.

Friday Face Off : The Drift by CJ Tudor
Today is the second week of a new Friday Face Off (a meme originally created by Books by Proxy) – similar in many ways to what came before but different going forward. From 2023 I will no longer be posting prompts or themes to guide cover choices. Instead, having noticed that many of my most recent reads have had more than one cover, I thought instead it would be a change to highlight something that I’m keen to shine the focus on. 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.
My book this week The Drift by CJ Tudor. I’m loving this author’s work and this is no exception. Really well done indeed.
Here are the covers:
My favourite this week is :
It’s really tough to choose a favourite this week because I really like both covers. At the end of the day it comes down to the simple fact that the red cover is so eye catching – it would definitely draw you in if you saw it on the bookshelf.

My favourite this week is :
I like both covers but this one appealed to me because I hadn’t realised this was a toy house inside a house – I just like that idea for some reason! Which cover is your favourite?
