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: “Friday the 13th – Unlucky for some!” – A cover with “curse” in the title.
So every book I’ve read with the word “curse” in the title only has one cover, so I can’t share anything I’ve actually read this week. Instead, I’ve picked a book called Tiger’s Curse by Colleen Houck. Take a look:
Sterling Publishing 2011 | Spanish edition 2011
Booksurge Publishing 2011 | Indonesian edition 2013
Hungarian edition 2012 | Italian edition 2015
Despite the weird circular label on the tiger’s chin, I have to say my favorite is the Booksurge Publishing edition. I love the artwork, the tiger’s bright blue eyes, and the title font.
I have to agree. All of these are super corny haha.
I like all of these (Tigers are pretty!) but I think it’s between the Sterling 2011 or the Booksurge editions for me. Fun pick!

Tigers are pretty, I think it would be hard to make a bad tiger cover, lol.
That’s my favorite too – I just want to pet his little nose. Awful label placement though and for what, was it really needed. I’d definitely pick that book up if I saw it somewhere.
Ha ha he actually looks nice enough to pet!
A lot of these are good. I like that Indonesian edition! Have a great weekend, Tammy!
You too Lisa, although I guess the weekend is now over…
Yes, you chose the most tiger-ish tiger of the lot, pity indeed for that annoying label that spoils the overall effect…

I think I love this one because it’s so in your face close up:-)
I agree that was my favorite too! They really should have rethought the spot for their pub mark through!
Yeah, that is not the right place for that gold circle!
I agree with your choice! Despite the random yellow circle the tiger is gorgeous and I love its eyes <3

Yes, those eyes! Really mesmerizing…
I love them all also, haha–that paperback view of the tiger is so gorgeous.
The tigers are all similar but a little different too.
Several of these caught my eye. I love your choice. Those eyes!

I know, those blue eyes are so cool!
Gosh I remember seeing this book, but totally forgot the title and author simply because the gorgeous tiger cover was the only thing that etched itself in my memory. It was the Sterling Publishing one, so I will have to go with that 😀
I just searched “Curse” in Goodreads and this is one of the first books that popped up!
I love all of these, Tammy! Love the tiger! It is strange they put the circle there on the bottom one, though!
I just love tigers, so it’s really hard to pick a favorite:-)
I like that one too and agree that the placement of the circular label is kind of weird. I think the overall design would look better without it. I love the closeup shot with those smothering blue eyes.
I keep thinking maybe that gold circle is a symbol that means something when you read the book. Or not!
The one you selected is my favorite too. The label placement is odd but the rest of the cover is beautiful.

There’s just something about the artwork…
What a great book for this theme. So lovely. Is it just me or does the Indonesian tiger need cheering up? I love your favourite. The close up makes it so startling and the tiger is gorgeous with its blue eyes.

I recently bought this book JUST because the cover! They are all so pretty! Since it it Hispanic heritage month in the US I’ll vote for the Spanish edition 🙂
