Friday Face Off: Unicorn

This is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, but currently run by Lynn’s Book Blog.

“I thought unicorns were more . . . Fluffy.”

This weeks theme:  A cover featuring a unicorn

Wow this is a tough one! From the books I have read, the only cover I could find with a unicorn was “Not Quite Narwhal” and the only other book I can think of that had Unicorns in it was Harry Potter.  I must have read other books with unicorns in them?

My Choice: Stardust

I have been meaning to read this book forever! I loved the movie, and I have heard the book is even better, though more dark and more adult.

I found a Stardust cover with a unicorn, a cover with a unicorn horn, and a cover that might be a unicorn but could also be a horse, I can’t tell.

There were over 200 different editions on Goodreads, so I didn’t display the boring or super weird ones.

Least Favorites:

 

I like the artwork style of the one on the left but the person thing coming out of her hand is kind of creepy and I can’t tell what is going on.  The other two are kind of boring.

Favorites:

 

 

Weirdly enough only 1 of my 6 favorites is in English.

• William Morrow and Company – English
• NXB Lao Động – Vietnamese
• Arnoldo Mondadori Editore – Italian
• ACT – Russian
• Tiritamm – Estonian
• Rocco – Portuguese

Winners:

 

Its a tie! I love both of these covers!

Also, here is a picture of the cover I own (which I love but not as much as the Estonian ship cover!)

And my cats, who have to be involved in all my picture taking!
