This week's topic is:
Dressed to Kill
Dressed to Kill
This week's topic was described as being someone literally dressed to kill or someone dressed up for a big night out–naturally, I went with the former. My first thought was the US Nevernight cover, but there aren't enough editions for this post. I then remembered Blood Song by Anthony Ryan, which is essentially about a school for assassins and has a great character cover that's perfect for this topic. Let's take a look at it and some additional editions!
2013 US Hardcover | 2013 US Paperback | 2014 German
2014 Czech | 2013 Dutch | 2014 Turkish
2013 Italian | 2014 French | 2014 Polish
2016 Portuguese | 2020 Spanish | 2015 Bulgarian
2014 Hungarian | 2015 Romanian | 2011 Original
My choice(s):
I have to be honest: none of these really grab me that strongly, but I like the general aesthetic of the Czech one quite a bit.
What cover(s) do you like the most?
I think the 2013 US paperback stands out, but there are a lot of cool ones!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with the 2016 Portuguese cover, that's my favorite. Wow there are a ton of covers for this book!
ReplyDeleteThis one's tough but I might like the US paperback the most!
