Least Favorites:
Favorites:
It was really really really hard for me to pick only 4 favorites. There are a lot of really good covers for Ready Player One!
Winner:
Wow. I didn’t realize there were soooo many covers for this already! Some are by far nicer than others. Lol. Your winner is def a good choice. Some reason I also like the one with the key.
Happy weekend!

I have a fondness for Paj Brittany (must be the muscled forearms and all LOL)

There are a lot of good ones here. I like the one you chose, but again, having this book on my TBR forever and not reading it yet, it is hard to choose.

Ooh Ready Player One! So many great covers. I LOVE the Pac-Man one !!! and also the Crown 2011 (I guess that’s a Space Invader-y one??). Oh wait wrong one- that’s Ediciones? Nemira 2016 rocks too, I must be drawn to the video gamey type covers?!?

Oh my goodness! What a head-swivelling choice… I have two I can’t choose between – Subterranean Press 2016 and Foundation Press 2017. Both really pop, I think:). And a great book to choose for this week’s theme:))

I love some of the retro gaming ones, but I think my favorite is still the Broadway Books 2011 edition, because it just captures the gritty feel of Wade’s world so well!

Whoa I can totally see how it was hard to pick a winner, these covers are all vastly different and really run the gamut! Would have never guessed that these were all the same book if the titles weren’t there.

OMG, there are way too many to choose from! I’m not sure which would be my pick, but awesome job on finding something with a ton of covers.

I wasn’t too impressed with this book, but I am certainly impressed with the number of covers! I agree with your least favourites. My favourite is Fischer 2019 and I quite like Ediciones B 2011 as well.

I liked the climbing cover too! I saw itright off. There is something magical about the Paj covers though too. And the retro covers speak to my heart. It sure is hard to choose one!

The Broadway Books is the one for me – I’ve just got such a soft spot for that cover.
