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 cover that is busy and bursting with detail.
This is another theme where I just wanted to highlight a bunch of different books with detail-heavy covers. Some of these I’ve already read, and some are just on my TBR. I do love covers with lots of details, particularly if you keep finding new things the longer you look.
I love that cover for Ten Thousand Doors. Speaking of, I need to read that too! Cash Crash Jubilee I just love for all the cyberpunky goodness, and Ruby Veil is great too. Ditto for Repo virtual.
Happy weekend!

Well, these are not just very detailed covers, they are also quite beautiful – both in images and color choices. The one that keeps drawing my attention is the one for Blightborn: I love the combination of light, darkness and faint mist… 🙂

Some of them I like and some I don’t.
So many of these covers are so beautiful. I tend to like the ones that have symmetric designs on them, like THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY and THE BETRAYALS. I like quite a few of these covers, though.

All are beautiful covers, but the cover of Hearts of Oak appeared to be the most striking to me, Tammy.

I really like all of those!
I loved this week’s theme (though I didn’t participate, I might save it for a make-up time!) and I love the books you’ve featured. Flyaway has been one cover I’ve really loved, and Hearts of Oak is also one I love looking at. The Binding is gorgeous–have you seen the naked cover? It’s stunning as well! I guess covers with details must be some of my favorite type because I just love these.
With the more minimalist covers I was able to find favorites, but I’m struggling with this batch. Not that I don’t like them. There’s just so much going on and in being so busy they each have that in common, which keeps any one from quickly standing out. But aside from the covers, I loved the only book of the bunch I’ve read: The Ten Thousand Doors of January.
You know I really love all of these! I love minimalist covers but I also love a really busy cover too, it works if the colors are right and there’s a pattern or something.
What a great idea! I looked through many of these when I was trying to get ideas, but so many of them didn’t have alternate covers. But all together, they make a beautiful collage.
What a fabulous montage! And Blightborn, Deeplight and Repo Virtual make me melt… Thank you for sharing Tammy:))
What a very busy and beautiful set of covers to feast your eyes upon. I love it.
Lynn 😀
So seeing this post and the minimalist post I’ve learned I REALLY Love busy covers. These are all so pretty!
These covers are, indeed, busy, but I also love them! I’m a fan of busy covers. And the cover for The Notorious Virtues?! It’s so freaking brilliant!
