But some of my favorites are Penguin Threads and the Clothbound & Leatherbound classics series -- and the new Penguin Horror books that came out in time for Halloween are pretty cool too.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-77488391121888812532013-11-12T07:28:42.397-08:002013-11-12T07:28:42.397-08:00Movie covers... blech.Movie covers... blech.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-23718147032327502682013-11-12T07:00:01.226-08:002013-11-12T07:00:01.226-08:00I haven't read Maya's Notebook but I agree...I haven't read <i>Maya's Notebook</i> but I agree, the tattoo throws me off. <br /><br />I like the paperback cover for <i>The Casual Vacancy</i>, it's a lot more appealing that the hardback :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.caffeinatedlife.net/blog/2013/11/12/meme-top-ten-tuesdays-78/" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a>Liannehttp://www.caffeinatedlife.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-88761220822990071392013-11-12T06:49:05.158-08:002013-11-12T06:49:05.158-08:00Agree with lots- especially Bossypants- just stran...Agree with lots- especially Bossypants- just strange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-76668894765701373922013-11-12T05:35:38.490-08:002013-11-12T05:35:38.490-08:00Bossypants is a really bad cover.

There is already a negative stereotype surrounding "classics" in general as being boring, A dreary cover simply puts the nail in the coffin. <br />Also, I completely agree about the movie covers. Why can't the movies use the book cover image, if they have to share? I'm a total snob about books with movie covers. I refuse to buy them. I know it's probably silly since the text is the same, but I'm very affected by cover designs. In my opinion, movie images are simply obnoxious.
