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 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.”

And the winner is… COVER E!

The leather effect alone is something special, I love a book with a faux leather look. It makes it something special. The rich blue with the gold stylised dragon is stunning. The design is definitely one I would pick if I saw it on a book shop shelf.

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 a top hat: “It looks rather ordinary,” said the Snork. “Unless you consider that a top hat is always somewhat extraordinary, of course.”
