Part of my recent used book haul...???. When I was in elementary school they preached "don't judge a book by its cover." That's just rubbish ?

Texreader Ha!! Right? 😉 5y

ju.ca.no So lovely!! 5y

BookNAround I maintain that if we weren‘t supposed to judge a book by its cover, publishers wouldn‘t have art departments. Of course we‘re supposed to! 5y

readordierachel That's gorgeous! 5y

I Hate Fairyland Book One | Skottie Young

pick

4.5 🌟
I was immediately in love with Gertrude. The 37 year old foul mouthed pain in the heiny stuck in a 10 year old's body. She was supposed to spend an hour, or even a day in Fairyland, but instead she has been stuck for 27 years. She has just gotten more rotten as time goes on.

Death commits bigamy | James M. Fox

This was bought for the title and cover alone. Nothing else.

@rabbitprincess Isn't it a fun cover?! 😂

Riveted_Reader_Melissa What what happened next! 😂. That cover is great, but the back is pretty 'interesting' too. 7y

AlaMich That's super!! 😂 7y

rabbitprincess That is awesome! Can't wait to hear how the story is! 😄 7y

elkeOriginal You can't lose when a couple of slinky blondes are involved! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I'm wondering too! What a cliff hanger! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Leftcoastzen @LeahBergen @AlaMich @rabbitprincess I think I most definitely have to read this one. The cliff hanger synopsis on the back needs resolution! 7y

Jess_Read_This @elkeo 😂😂🤔What could possibly go wrong?? 7y

The card catalogs of the Library of Congress: a brief description | Barbara Marietta Westby, William J. Sittig

(This book isn't the one that is tagged.). I just had to share the cover of this book. Is this just not the most gorgeous cover you've ever seen? And the inside is equally beautiful. I really don't need this book..oh, wait-what was I thinking? Of course I do! #boughtforthecover

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That is gorgeous! 8y

SharonGoforth @Riveted_Reader_Melissa The Walt Whitman card on the front is the cover, and is removable! 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @SharonGoforth That's very cool! 8y

Jess_Read_This I love this! I just started collecting cards from old library card catalogs too. 8y

SharonGoforth @Jess_Read_This That sounds really cool! Where do you get them from? 8y

Jess_Read_This @SharonGoforth I started collecting them from Etsy and eBay. It's usually a mixed bag and you have to read carefully where they came from- like a law library didn't interest me. Some sellers are nice and will take requests whereas others will ignore you if you message a request lol 8y

SharonGoforth @Jess_Read_This Thanks! I'll check it out 😊 8y

Sabriel | Garth Nix

My favorite series and perfect for #photoadaynov16 #onewordtitle post 💖💛💕

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Oh my! Those original covers at the back are glorious! I have the plain black covers with coloured runes on them (except for Goldenhand - which is mostly blue (maybe)) 8y

elkeOriginal @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I love them too! I vividly remember spotting Sabriel at a local book festival when it pubbed in 1995 and immediately stopped in my tracks to find out what it was! Avid Abhorsen #fangirl ever since 💕#boughtforthecover 8y

BookmarkTavern ❤️❤️❤️❤️All the love for the Abhorsen series! I read all of them back in high school and had no idea he had written more in the series until a few months ago! 8y

Abby-J These are my favorites. Especially Lirael. 8y
