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:
Pattern
This topic was so fun! I really wanted to just stick to one cover like you're supposed to, but... there were just too many! In a coincidental timing fashion, the entire Wormwood trilogy has some great patterning on its covers, and there were quite a few others that I thought had some unique variations of patterns as well, so I just decided to share a select few from different books.
2018 Orbit | 2019 Orbit | 2019 Orbit
2019 Thomas Nelson | 2018 Knopf | 2014 Farrar, Straus, Giroux
2017 Chicken House | 2017 Imprint | 2014 Thomas Dunne
My choice(s):
I really love all of the colors on the Rosewater books, but I really love these two covers! The hedge maze pattern is so beautiful to me for some reason for To Best the Boys, and I am so enamored with the patterning on Wolf in White Van. Definitely not a cover that's easy to forget!
What cover(s) do you like the most!?
