The Friday Face-Off: Stripes

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: “And who decided which people wore striped pyjamas.” – A cover that is striped.

I’m sure there are lots of striped covers out there that didn’t occur to me, but when I spotted The Oracle Year on my “read” list on Goodreads, I figured this would be a good one. Yes, the stripes are sort of bendy, but they are stripes nonetheless! This was such a fun read and one of my favorite books of 2018. Seriously, check it out if you haven’t already. There aren’t a lot of covers, but I think these are all pretty cool:

U.S. edition 2018 | Italian edition 2019

Bulgarian edition 2018 | German edition 2018

Spanish edition 2019 | Slovakian edition 2018

This is tough, because I really love both the Bulgarian and the Spanish editions! I think I like the Bulgarian slightly more, so I’m calling it the winner this week:

But I’m curious, which one do you like best?

  1. Great choice! I struggled with stripes haha.

    For me its a toss up between Bulgarian edition 2018 and German edition 2018. The German one I love the title but the rest of the cover is just black and boring

  2. I was so close to choosing this cover! It was in my top three possibilities and I almost went with it because it was a bit more obscure. I have to say I like the original US cover, the stripes and the eye in the middle really draws your attention !
