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 mountains: “Kid, you’ll move mountains.” This week’s book is The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

And the winner is… COVER F!

The art style on this cover reminds me of ancient Japanese art. It’s really eye-catching. The colours are really rich and the landscape is spectacular.

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 featuring dragons: “But we were dragons. We were supposed to be cruel, cunning, heartless and terrible.But this much I can tell you, we never burned and tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality.”
