The Friday Face-Off was originally created by Books by Proxy:
each Friday, bloggers showcase book covers on a weekly theme.
Visit Lynn’s Books (@LynnsBooks) for a list of upcoming themes.
Please visit also Tammy at Books, Bones & Buffy (@tammy_sparks)
thanks to whom I discovered this meme.
This week, the theme is
“So pretty – exactly what it says”
I wanted to use my most favorite over of 2021, or a pretty cover from a book read so far this year, but alas, these usually only have one edition.
So here is a pretty cover, even though it’s not in my top favorite covers:
You can click on the picture to read my short review. It’s a wonderful book, and audiobook as well.

WHICH COVER IS YOUR FAVORITE? WHY?
The Atria Books edition is my favorite cover here, it gives a nice warm ambiance with gorgeous old books. And books and stories are very important in the story.
But (pink border) I also like a lot the Ukrainian edition, which focuses on another aspect of the story (twin sisters).
Have you read this book?
WHICH COVER IS YOUR FAVORITE? WHY?
Next Friday:
“Daddy Dearest – a book with a strong father role”,
but I don’t think I’ll be able to participate.
My next participation will probably be on July 8

These are all very pretty! I love the Orion edition, and also the Indonesian cover best😁

I did not expect to, but I really liked the book. I prefer the cover you showed. I really do not understand all the different covers, but there is a method to it I suppose. For example–had I seen the UK cover for Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine I’d have skipped it. The US cover–I read it and loved it. Good post!

Yes, some books covers would also make me run away from a book!

I like th first and the fourth one, they put me in mind of a warm library somewhere with buttery light coming from lamps…

That’s the edition I have. It’s not the most exciting is it? I’ve seen a paperback by ersion which shows the shoes and lower legs of two girls – thought that was more interesting than just a pile of books.

I actually didn’t like at all any of these shoes and legs editions, so I didn’t even include them in my samples!

Sorry, I like the first one the best.

Yes! Alas, I didn’t like her next book as much. In fact, it was quite disappointing

I really like the second cover. I haven’t read this book yet, but floral covers always get to me – even if they don’t really tell much of a story behind them 😳

Nice choice, and this is actually a very good story
