The Friday Face-Off: Grabby hands!

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 book that gives you “grabby hands.”

I’m doing another “head to head” this week, since the book I wanted to feature only has two covers at the moment. The Forever Sea by Joshua Phillip Johnson is a review book I wish I had a physical copy of, I just love the cover so much. In fact, I love the UK cover JUST as much! So for me, there isn’t a winner this week, just two beautiful covers that both do a great job of capturing this unique story.

DAW Books (U.S.) edition, 2021. I adore this cover! The story takes place on a sea made of plants and flowers, and ships sail across the top with magic. This cover really shows that element so well.

Titan Books (UK) edition, 2021. And another beautiful cover! I love that one of the main characters, Kindred, is looking out over the sea toward the ship, and I love the up close detailed sea grass in the foreground.


Do you have a favorite?

  1. I love how they chose completely different perspectives, and both look great, but I do tend to lean just slightly towards the US version.
