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 theme is a book cover that depicts fire: “Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden.” This week’s book is A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins.

And the winner is… COVER D!

This one is kind of darkly intriguing. The beauty of the single stem flower is juxtaposed with the destructiveness of the fire. It’s clean, simple and highly effective. It’s definitely one that draws me in.

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 depicts a school: “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.”
