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. :)
gasp!! prettiest pride and prejudice book EVER!! lucky ducky! did you see my new robin hood book?? I'm with you when it comes to pretty books. LOVE THEM!! hurrah!
ReplyDeleteI had not seen your Robin Hood book until just now. Ahh, what loveliness! I might have to find another copy of that for my library!
ReplyDeleteThe same company that published the books I posted pictures of also have a pretty cool looking Cranford book. If the book is anywhere near as good as the movies (which most movies aren't half as good as the book) then I must read it. So of course, one day, Cranford will probably be among my collection. :)
