The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!
This week’s theme: “The north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow.” A cover that is windswept.
This was a really hard week for me. My first idea was, duh, The Name of the Wind, but I used that already on another Friday Face-Off. So. This is the only book I could come up with. Panic by Lauren Oliver was my first and only Oliver book, and I didn’t really like it very much. In fact, I think I read this four years ago and I CANNOT remember anything about it, lol! But judging by the covers, someone jumps off a cliff. I think. Oh well, here you go, “windswept”:
HarperCollins 2014 (U.S.) | Romanian edition 2016
Italian edition 2015 | Russian edition 2016
German edition 2014 | French edition 2014
It may be a little cheesy, but I really love the “face/mountain melding” covers. So I’m going to go with the Italian edition for my favorite:
What an unusual choice – and it certainly ticks the windswept box, Tammy:). I particularly like the French cover because it is very striking and a bit different. I realise that I’ve spent too long around young girls with long hair because the first two examples had me wanting to reach for a hairbrush to tidy it up…
I’m not gonna say I totally love any of the different editions but if I had to choose I’d go for the US one.
Since I do like images where two pictures are oh-so-skillfully superimposed, I wholeheartedly agree with your choice 🙂

All of them are very good but my choice is the Russian cover.

I agree with your pick! The others are too simple compared to it that it blows the others out of the water.
I picked The Name of the Wind this week 😀
I liked the HarperCollins 2014 (U.S.) edition best. I am super picky about superimposed pictures and don’t usually like them.
You picked the same one I would have! I have to say, I like the cover of the Romanian one better than the US one because the hair looks more realistic. Although I think both covers look like Sophie Turner!
I like the one you favor. Though some of the others look good too.

I kinda liked Panic but I know not everyone did. And I’ve never seen these other covers! I like the Italian cover a lot- that’s my fave too (and I wish I had it lol), and I like the HarperCollins one too.
I liked how you grouped some of the similar covers together. I have to agree with your choice though, it’s the best one there!
Tough choice. I like both the last two, feel like they convey so many emotions.
I’ve not read this book yet, but I do like all of the different covers. I’m torn between the Italian and the French covers, but I think I’m going to go with the Italian. There’s just something about that one that really appeals to me every time I scroll through them.
Isn’t it weird how you can read a book and then years later not remember a single thing about it? I actually like the first cover best though. It’s not very exciting, but I like the contrast.
I like your choice this week – it’s very eye catching, also like the French version for it’s dramatic colours.
Lynn 😀
Sort of laughing at how you don’t remember anything about this book now hahahahaha The struggles of a bookworm!
