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 that is bright: “The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.” For this theme I have gone with Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

And the winner is… COVER F!

This one was a hands down winner for me. The 8-bit style of classic video games spoke to me as a gamer myself. It has elements from easily-recognisable games. I love this one.

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 that features words only: “Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
