Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a weekly meme here 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:
Friday the 13th – unlucky for some!--A cover with ‘curse’ in the title
This week's topic ended up being slightly trickier than I expected it to be because all the books I thought had the word curse somewhere in the title or series didn't end up having it. Go figure. My next thought was Lois McMaster Bujold's The Curse of the Chalion, but I haven't actually read that one yet and I always try to pick books I've already then. Fortunately, I then remembered Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck and we had this week's cover pick! Is anyone else in love with this badass-looking tiger?
2011 Portuguese | 2012 Hungarian | 2014 French
2015 Italian | 2012 Chinese | 2012 German
My choice:
Honestly, I just love the original US hardcover. I remember back when I very first saw this book because I knew that whether I liked Tiger's Curse or not, I absolutely needed to check it out based off of that cover. I am still in love with it today!
What cover(s) do you like the most!?
