Friday Face-Off: Beastly
Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy! Each Friday, we will pit cover against cover while also taking the opportunity to showcase gorgeous artwork and feature some of our favorite book covers. If you want to join the fun, simply choose a book each Friday that fits that week’s predetermined theme, post and compare two or more different covers available for that book, then name your favorite. A list of future weeks’ themes are available at Lynn’s Book Blog.
This week’s theme is:
“A beast, something cuddly, or a fur covering”
~ a BEASTLY cover
Mogsy’s Pick:
Wild Country by Anne Bishop
I loved how this week’s theme was open and that we were pretty much free to go with any sort of furry creature or beast, but I kind of had my heart set on a bear, just because. I figured I would get some good hits with The Others series, which presents a curious view of the world if supernatural beings like vampires and animal shapeshifters had conquered the world instead of humans, and I was not disappointed. Looking through the editions available for the aptly titled Wild Country, I found exactly what I wanted.
From left to right:
Ace (2019) – Portuguese Edition (2019) – French Edition (2020)
Winner:
I had some beary particular preferences this week, so it’s probably no surprise which cover I chose.
But what do you think? Which one is your favorite?
The BiblioSanctum 
I vote for yours too.

For furry I’d pick the same as you, but overall I’ll go with the Ace edition, possibly because of the darker, slightly more mysterious layout.

Even though I like the bear cover more, I have to say the ace one is very strong as well, and probably better fits the tone of the story.

Lol… great minds think alike:)). I’ve chosen a bear this week too. Though I think your bear is a lot cooler than mine! And of course your choice is by far the best of the selection. I’ve read the first two books in this series and really enjoyed them – it’s one I want to return to and complete during the year…
