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. This week’s theme:
‘Two little fishes and a momma fishy too’ – A cover featuring a fish/fishes or other sea creatures
I had to have a good think about this week’s theme – then I remembered some of the books I read pre-blogging and I actually wound up with a few books to choose from but I went with a favourite author and chose The River King by Alice Hoffman.
The covers:
My favourite this week is:

I can’t say I really love any of the covers this week to be honest but I think the swan cover has a startlingly bright feel about it. I also quite like the cover next to this with the shimmery blue and the yellow handwritten font.
Like last week I’ve added a Mr Linky here so that you can leave a link if you wish or please leave me a link in the comments so we can all visit and check out each others covers. Thanks
I’ll be updating the list soon to take it through a few more months – if you have any suggestions you’d like to see adding then drop a note in the comments. Thanks
Next week – A cover with a shapeshifter
Future themes: (if you’re struggling with any of these themes then use a ‘freebie’ of one of your favourite covers)

Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme being hosted by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite books covers. The rules are fairly simple and can be found here. Each week, following a predetermined theme choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Simples. This week the theme is:
You Got The Blues
A cover which is predominantly blue
I had no idea how many blue covers were out there! Wow. Just wow!! The book I’ve chosen this week is from an author I really enjoy reading.
Alice Hoffman’s The River King with three covers as follows:
I’m not overly fond of the hands and fishes cover to be honest. The blurred middle cover – I like the yellow font and the layout. I think my favourite, even though it’s more green than blue is the third cover with the swan: This week’s winner:

Join in next week when the theme will be:
Which Witch is Which?
A cover which features a witch and/or witchcraft
