Do judge a book by it’s cover

Published on by Lizzy

Because you can afford to be a bit superficial when the covers are as pretty as these are.

These are the books that I sometimes pull off my shelves just to gaze adoringly at them. And to model for lots of Instagram posts. Ideally when I have my own house with miles of books shelves I’ll be able to arrange these facing out to properly show them off. For now I will content myself with a post of my top ten. (Yes, Atonement is on this list twice because yes, I do own two copies of the same book but look at them – how could I ever choose between them?)

  4. I Was Told There’d Be Cake is on my list! I’ve read so many quotes from this novel that I adore that I am desperate to own my own copy 🙂 good list.

    1. The Jane Austen’s were a birthday present and it’s probably the best present I’ve ever received.

      And wow you’re mean! Could you not have picked an easier letter?

    1. Thanks 🙂 I’m glad you like the pictures. I always used to be horrendous at taking photos – they’d have my finger in them or be completely wonky – but Instagram style photo taking is actually much easier for me!
