The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.
This week’s Friday Face-Off theme is a cover featuring a silhouette: “As we drifted away from the Tower Bridge, I saw a single silhouette standing against the bright lamplight.” This week’s book is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
Cover A 
Cover B 
Cover C 
Cover D 
Cover E 
Cover F 
Cover G 
Cover H
And the winner is… COVER D!
I love the simplicity of this cover. The monochrome cover. The little flashes of red. The design work all nodding to a circus theme. This is a cover that would catch my eye on a shelf in a bookshop.
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 is a cover depicting flight: “The Guide says there is an art to flying”, said Ford, “or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

A close one for me between cover D and cover F, but ….. F won it for me. The black and white very effective, the man in the forefront and circus slightly hidden in the mist pulled me in

No, D doesn’t cut it with me. E and F are almost neck and neck, but I think F wins by a nose!
