This is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, but kept up by Lynn’s Book Blog.
“Mirror, Mirror on the wall.”
This weeks theme: A cover featuring a queen
My Choice: Spinning Silver
I have read a lot of books with Princesses on the covers but not so many with Queens.
I know Miryem doesn’t look like a queen on the cover of Spinning Silver, but she does marry the Ice King pretty early in the book, and I think it counts!!
Covers:
Del Rey | Macmillan | Penguin
The Macmillan cover looks a little weird with the white border so I looked it up and it looks a lot better as an actual book:

The Del Ray and the Penguin covers are almost identical. The Penguin is a little lighter and there is a gold bar behind the “S” in Spinning. I think I like the Penguin Cover a little bit better. But overall the Macmillan is easily my favorite of the three!
Winner:
Yes! I like the Macmillan cover too but I have to say the Penguin one is better than the Del Rey and it resembles closely with the first novel Uprooted. I didn’t like Uprooted, unfortunately. Have a great day!

I definitely prefer the UK Macmillan covers for these books (both Spinning Silver and Uprooted).

I like both covers tbh but I’ve always preferred the Del Rey for some reason. Great choice. I looked at this as it’s on my GR’s shelf but I never even considered it – doh!

It’s funny how Del Rey and Penguin are pretty much identical. 😀 Definitely going with the Macmillan one though! The blue and white combination is so pretty!
