*this* is the cover I remember from forever ago when I borrowed it from the library… my hideous paperback version has since left the building - so I can add this to my shelves with a clear conscious… (as long as I stay off eBay for awhile 😅😂)

Teen me loved this book - but I borrowed it from the library and the cover was much better 🥺

I‘ve always meant to reread it but this cover makes me reconsider every time (plus the general fear that it won‘t live up to my memory of it)

bookishdawg I loved Cynthia Voight too… I still have some battered copies around 👍🏻 3y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @bookishdawg, I found a better looking copy on eBay 🤣 not really helping my shelf overcrowding problem… but maybe it will finally inspire that reread! 3y

Bailed after 127 pages—it‘s more romance than fantasy adventure, and I didn‘t really like the main character much.

I'm still depressed about this cover. I adored this book when I read it in high school (my high school library was one of the best) when it had a WAY better cover... however this is what book depository sent me 🙈 I may never summon the strength to reread.

Teen me found a different edition of this at the library and consumed it. Somewhat older me was feeling nostalgic and ordered it online and THIS rather uninspiring thing arrived... #no

I'm yet to reread. #UglyCover #SomethingForSept

BarbaraTheBibliophage Love the troll though! 8y
