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.  I’ve also listed events that take place during the year, that I’m aware of, so you can link up your covers – if you’re aware of any events that you think I should include then give me a shout.  This week’s theme is:

“And, though there should be a world of difference between the smile of a man and the bared fangs of a wolf, with Joss Merlyn they were one and the same.”  – a cover featuring an Inn/Hotel

Firstly, apologies that I’ve not been blog visiting – I’m without internet at the moment and only managing to post by linking my phone to my laptop whilst things get sorted (it uses a lot of data though so I’ll be blog hopping again hopefully in another week).  In the meantime, how did you all get on with this theme.  I think I’ve used this one before – whoops!  Anyway, I went for The Way Inn by Will Wiles – this is a book that I own but haven’t yet read and whilst the covers seem to be more of the interior it’s still an Inn – is that cheating?

Anway, not many covers this week but here they are:

Kein Leben ohne Minibar von Will Wiles

I think I would have to go with the first cover this week – I like the way the title draws you down the corridor:

As with previous I’ve added a Mr Linky if you want to use it:

I’ve updated the list and included themes through to the end of 2019 – I’ve also included events that I’m aware of so that you can perhaps link your themes up where possible (if you know of an event you’d like to share that let me know in the comments).  I also have a list prepared for 2020 and so will set up a separate page soon for forthcoming themes.  As always, if you wish to submit an idea then leave me a comment.

Next week – a cover featuring a scream

Future themes: (if you’re struggling with any of these themes then use a ‘freebie’ or one of your favourite covers)
