I had a couple of books in mind for this one but I’ve gone for Genevieve Cogman’s Invisible Library.  Not sure if this is a perfect representation but anyway!:

‘Me and my….’ – a cover featuring a Shadow

My other choice for this was going to be Nevernight but I think I’ve featured it before so went for something different.  I read Shadow of the Wind a long time ago and enjoyed it very much – a quote from Goodreads to whet your appetite:  ‘The international literary sensation, about a boy’s quest through the secrets and shadows of postwar Barcelona for a mysterious author whose book has proved as dangerous to own as it is impossible to forget.’

My favourite is the last one.  It’s a good choice for this week’s theme with the shadow but I like the stance of the character on the front – he looks very furtive:

This week’s theme:

You have nice manners for a thief, and a LIAR!’  – a cover with a dragon

Plenty of covers with dragons for this week.  Of course I immediately thought of Smaug  but I thought I’d step out of character and use something different (for me that is!): A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire #5) by George R.R. Martin

My favourite is the last one.

‘Then let the crabs be cursed by Odin’ – a cover featuring a Viking ‘

I had a few books in mind for this one but when I checked they didn’t have alternative covers, so another tough week!  I’ve gone for : The Grim Company (Grim Company #1) by Luke Scull.  Strictly speaking these covers aren’t really vikings – although they could be right?

 Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady – a cover featuring a heart

I struggled this week – I had two books in mind but they didn’t have alternate covers so I’ve gone for a book that I currently own but haven’t yet read – this can be my incentive to get into gear: False Heart by Laura Lam:
