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.
This week I’ve chosen a book that is on my shelf waiting to be read The Vipers by Katy Hays. I have a coy of this for the new year and I can’t wait to pick it up. I loved The Cloisters by this author.. This title is being marketed under a different title in the US – Salt Water. Take a look at the two covers:

This week I’ve chosen a book that is on my shelf waiting to be read. Run by Blake Crouch. I like the sound of this one and the covers are very ominous:
My favourite this week:
They’re all different and yet similar – if that makes sense. I quite like the blue and the yellow but that sticker annoys me. I also like ominous feel of the bottom left. But I think my favourite this week is:
This cover feels out of focus and fuzzy but I feel that gives it an edge and I also like the grey title. This one definitely gives the feeling of trying to run away. Which is your favourite?
