Friday Face-Off is an idea originally thought up by Books By Proxy which I stole from the fantastic The Tattooed Book Geek. The idea originally was to compare UK and US covers based on an assigned theme each week and choose the winning cover. I will be twisting it slightly: not specifically US and UK covers, just different editions.

This week’s theme is a cover with an angel: “The first Noël”

For this week’s cover I wanted something festive so went for The Christmas Angel by Jane Maas.

Cover A:

Cover B:

And the winner is… COVER A!

Cover B felt too plain for my liking this time out. I was after something with a really festive feel, which I felt A really captured.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next week’s theme: 30th December – “Ho Ho Ho! To the bottle I go!” – a cover with drink.
