The Friday Face-Off: Purple Cover

    


Friday Face Off New

Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a weekly meme at Books by Proxy. Join us every Friday as we pit cover against cover, and publisher against publisher, to find the best artwork in our literary universe.  You can find a list of upcoming topics at Lynn's Books.

This week's topic is:
Purple Cover

After looking for books for this week's topic, I realized that purple does not seem to be the most popular book cover out there. That being said, I did still manage to find a good array of purple covers to choose from and ultimately decided to feature Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor (US edition), even though only a couple are actually purple! I adore the Strange the Dreamer duopoly and consider it a favorite. Let's have a look at all the different beautiful covers it has!

La Muse des cauchemars (Le Faiseur de rêves, #2)Muse of Nightmares (Strange the Dreamer, #2)
2019 French | 2019 Paperback

My choice(s):
There are so many beautiful editions for this book, I don't know if I can just pick one! The German is probably my least favorite (sorry, German edition!), but otherwise I really like most of them. I think the colors are so beautiful, the orange in the UK edition, and I love that the French one uses the UK design but with a more blue cover.
