Friday Face Off is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, and run by Lynn’s Book Blog. You can check out all my past Friday Face Offs here.
“Friday the 13th – unlucky for some!”
This weeks theme: A cover with ‘curse’ in the title.
My Choice: Lean Mean Thirteen
This was a weirdly hard topic. I have read 3 books with “curse” in the title. Second Hand Curses, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and Titan’s Curse. The first two only have one cover, and the latter I have already done. I also don’t have ANY books on my TBR with “curse” in the title.
My next thought was to search for “Friday” or “Thirteen” and I found one book with “Thirteen” in the title, so I am going to use that one! (I didn’t have any with “Friday”)
Covers:
St. Martin’s 2007 | Headline 2008 | Headline 2011 | Goldmann 2010
Word Factory 2014 | Pocket 2016 | Headline 2016 | Manhattan 2015
I don’t particularly like any of these covers ….
If I had to pick a favorite it would be St. Martin’s 2007 or Pocket 2016.
Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!
I agree with you – the covers are colorful, but at second glance, they don’t appeal to me. That said, I think your choices are good. Headline 2011 looks like a little like a James Bond movie poster. Great idea!

I would also choose the Pocket 2016 one. I read the St. Martin’s version of all the books in this series.

I read the St. martin’s versions too. And while they are eye catching and you immediately know what series they are with, I find them a little boring.

These are such fun covers, they’re all so colorful. I don’t have one I love either, but the Headline 2016 stands out.

I definitely struggled with this theme – I need to come up with some nice easy ones for a while!
Such a lot of colour – I can’t say I really love any of them in particular but the Headline 2016 is nice.
