How beautiful are these teal/sea-green/blue books?!
I’ve read half of these titles and the other half will be read soon(ish):
All the Light We Cannot See - I read this in 2017 and it was one of the only books I read that year. I was in a reading slump and it took me months to get through it (no fault of the book). This WW2 story about a French girl, a German boy and how their paths connect is excellent. I plan to reread this next year so I can enjoy it more.
The Odyssey - I’ll be rereading this, this year for leisure this time and not for academic study.
Bleak House - one of my favorite Penguin English Library covers that is also out of print. I was so lucky to get my hands on this edition. I plan to read this over 1000 page novel in 2021 (you know my Boy Chuck is long winded...)
The Nightingale - I’ve had this on my TBR since 2014. Another WW2 novel that is raved about. I’ve been told it’s heartbreaking. Heartbreaking? Sign me up!
Rebecca - I’ll be reading my second novel by Daphne du Maurier this year. I loved Jamaica Inn and I’m very much looking forward to this one. And this cover is among my favorites.
Miracles - I first read this in 2015. I find C.S Lewis’ theological works very interesting. You really have to focus when you read this one, or you may get confused, which happened to me. One day I’ll reread it...
Have you read any of these titles? Which is cover is your favorite?

Oh my, that 'Rebecca' cover is so beautiful! I might have to get this edition!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I have negative feelings towards 'All the Light We Cannot See' but only because it's one of several books on my shelves that my partner has thrown into my basket while I've been in a bookstore, for him to read half of it and abandon it. I hate the thought of abandoning books half way unless they are truly terrible! Lol!
