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:
‘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:

Which is your favourite?
Next week – a cover featuring a couple
