This week it's all about judging books by their covers! Pick a book--any book, really--and search out multiple book cover images for that book. They could span a decade or two (or more)...Or they could span several countries. Which cover is your favorite? Which one is your least favorite? Which one best 'captures' what the book is about?
There are a few reasons why I chose Pride and Prejudice, though the main reason is I simply loved the story. Everything in this story captivated me: the plot, the characters and of course, Jane Austen's style of writing.
Every time I see a Jane Austen's book, I am drawn into it because of the various versions and different covers. Most often, I do not judge a book by its cover but it does influence me to pick up the book if the cover is interesting and attractive, especially the title or the name of the author I am not familiar with or have not heard of.
Another thing I like about Jane Austen's books is it often portrays young women of that era. I am attracted to the charm and grace these women portrayed and not to mention the kind of dresses they wore really intrigued me too. For this assignment, I only chose a few covers because there are just too many of them out there. I have to say each cover is unique on its own but my favourite will be the second left of the last row. Honestly, I have no idea which cover best captures the story because most of them look kind of similiar to me.
So tell me, which is your favourite and least favourite cover?
