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: Flight
There are lots of interpretations of “flight” but I decided to go with “birds” because I found a book I love that just screams “flight”! All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders was one of my favorite books of 2016, has anyone read it? I only found four different covers and some of them are, well, let’s take a look:
U.S. edition (Tor Books) 2016 | Romanian edition 2017
Chinese edition 2017 | French edition
I feel like the French edition is trying to do something interesting, but I don’t like the big red awards announcement at the bottom. So the clear winner for me is the U.S. edition:
I kind of like all these covers so picking a favorite is hard but I’d have to go with the Chinese edition!

The U. S. edition is the winner for me, too! They all are pretty, but this one is beautiful!
What a lovely choice for this week’s subject, Tammy:)) And yes – I’ve read the book and I loved it, too. It was one of my reading highlights of the year. And I have to go with your favourite cover, too – it doesn’t hurt that it was the cover for the edition I read:)).
I like the Chinese edition. It’s probably the colors and the stars.
I love the stars of the Chinese edition
The US edition is my favorite of them as well.
Great choice this week! I think I like the Chinese edition best. But the US is also really nice.
I like the overall aesthetic of the Chinese cover. I prefer the colors, and the stars add depth. I agree that the French would be much better without the jarring awards notices.
That one is my favorite but the Romanian is a close second!
Yes, it’s the best, and the Romanian edition comes close… 🙂

Yeah, that one’s definitely my favorite!
US or Romanian are both kind of cool.
What a great choice. I haven’t read this but I love your favourite.
Lynn 😀
