The Friday Face-Off: Heart

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: A heart. For Valentine’s Day past.

I have a feeling my choice this week is going to be popular. I’ve picked a book with the word “heart” in the title, and it turns out there are plenty of cover choices with actual hearts on them! I loved Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill, and because of its popularity, there were plenty of covers to choose from. Take a look:

William Morrow (US) edition 2007 | Polish edition (year?)

Gollancz (UK) edition 2007 | Indonesian edition 2011

German edition 2008 | Orion (UK) edition 2017

Finnish edition 2008 | Bulgarian edition 2007

I love that all of these have hearts on the cover, except for the U.S. edition! I really love the Polish edition, I think the artwork is spectacular, but for some reason my eye keeps going back to the Gollancz edition, so I’m calling it as my favorite:

But let me know which is your favorite:-D

  1. I like the Gollancz edition because of the two doggies – go figure. I’ve also seen pictures of the inside on line and know that it’s just as pretty inside. I really want to do a reread of this one because I remember reading it ages ago before I even knew who Joe Hill was. I thought it was just a cool library find back then.

  2. As soon as I saw the UK Gollancz edition I knew it would probably be my favorite, haha. I just love the entire design! The Finnish and Orion UK ones are really nice, too.

      It is hard, I tried to pick covers that I really liked. There were some BAD ones that I didn’t put in this post, lol.

  3. This one is a great choice, Tammy:). Despite the rather fuzzy defintion, my favourite is the Orion version. I just like the fact that the heart still manages to look like a box.
