Books are lovely things. Most of the time I think them most lovely on the inside, but some are almost as lovely on the outside as well.
Now, I am not one to buy a book based on it's cover. But if I want a book, and it happens to have a nice cover then why not get it instead of one with a not so cool cover?
So today I decided that I am going to start a collection of classic books with pretty covers. Here is my first book for the collection:
Hopefully one day I will have a library with a big comfy recliner in front of a cozy fireplace, and with a window seat (I have always wanted a window seat) and shelves lining all four walls from the floor to the ceiling. And all those shelves will be filled with beautiful books.
Here are some others that I want to add to the collection sometime.
I have not read this, but it is such a famous book that I feel I must read it. And of course it would look great in that library I will have one day.
I just recently read my first Jane Austen book. I just recently discovered what I have been missing my whole life. My future library must have lots of Jane Austen books.
Okay, confession. I don't really want to read this one. I mean it isn't on my book list at the moment, but I have this thing with watches, and a thing with black and white, and this would look great in my library. But, if I did buy it I would read it. But I want this one more for the looks than the content.
So I am all ready to start on my classic book collection. Except for one small thing thing: money. But as I slowly earn money, I will slowly add to my library, and I will blog about each new addition.
Bye for now, friends. I've got a Jane Austen book to look at-- uhh, I mean read. :)
