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. 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.
Which is your favourite?

‘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?

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:
