UGH 😩 I hate having to stop but the book discussions are too much fun @TheBookHippie #SundayBuddyRead
Can‘t wait to dish the dirt 😍Do we like this book cover design? I would have preferred the 4 Godmothers 🤩

vlwelser I don't like the cover. And the title doesn't really stand out. Especially since the book, so far, is excellent. 2y
AmyG I don‘t like the cover at all. 2y
Cinfhen Right!!! This cover makes the book look SUPER CHEESY @vlwelser and it‘s wayyyyy better than that!! 2y

Cinfhen If I was judging a book by it‘s cover @AmyG I probably would have skipped this one 😙#NeverJudgeABookByItsCover 2y
AmyG YES….I would never have picked up this book based on the cover. (edited) 2y
TheBookHippie I agree the cover should be the four women in the 1940s. 2y
Deblovestoread Same. I would not have picked up this book based on the cover. 2y
Cinfhen Well we‘re a shallow bunch @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread 😂😂😂 2y
julieclair I'm shallow right along with you all! 😂. I would have passed right over this book based on it's cover. 2y
julieclair @Cinfhen That hashtag! 😂😂😂 2y

Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind | Suzanne Fisher Staples

Usually, books that languish on my shelves end up with a big 👎👎 from me when I do finally read it. I‘m glad this little gem bucked the trend! Published in 1989, I overlooked the fact that this was not an Own Voices book, because it was clear the author did her research and spent time in the culture she was writing about. I loved Shabanu, and esp her relationship with her family‘s 🐫 🐫🐫.

Andrew65 Going brilliantly! 👍🙌 6y
Cinfhen Glad it was a pick because that cover has me thinking this book could have easily been a stinker. Which is why #NeverJudgeABookByItsCover 6y

I Capture the Castle | Dodie Smith

Pickpick

I know not how to capture in words the beauty of this charming novel. I love the evocative descriptions and most of all, Cassandra‘s voice, which is honest, and funny. I love reading her ponderings as she records everything in her journal. And what an array of quirky characters the household is. I wish I‘ve read this as an adolescent, and I can see why it has an enduring appeal.

erzascarletbookgasm Now to find a pretty edition of this book, which has joined my newly-discovered-favourites.

Autumnscribe I will have to find a copy of this. I did not know it was a book, I have I my seen the movie 6y
Kimberlone @batsy this must be the movie tie-in cover 6y
Ruthiella @batsy I would totally buy a pretty hardcover edition of this book to replace my paperback! Publishers, are you listening? 😀 6y
Kalalalatja @Ruthiella @batsy there is a really pretty, yellow hardcover edition, which I own. I just can‘t remember the publishers at the moment, and I‘m too lazy to get up and check 😅 6y
batsy @Kalalalatja @Ruthiella I've seen that one; it's pretty! I just want a whole array of pretty covers to choose from, for such a gem of a book #greedyhands 😆 6y
LeahBergen @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy @Ruthiella #FolioSociety has a really pretty edition (and you can find reasonably priced secondhand copies of it online 👍🏻). 6y
erzascarletbookgasm @Kalalalatja I‘ve seen that cover, very pretty indeed. The Folio Society edition is very gorgeous! @LeahBergen but but 💷..price not really reasonable after currency conversion ☹️ 6y

Based on the title alone, I would not normally chose this to read. However, after many 👍 from littens I love, I decided to shelve my judgement and take a listen. And guess what...it‘s so much more than the title lets on and seems an important and timely read.

CarolynM I enjoyed this far more than I expected too. Or provided lots of points of discussion at my book group. 6y
JennyM @CarolynM me too so far! 6y
mrp27 Totally agree! The title and cover are a little deceptive. 6y
valeriegeary I really liked this one. So much more complicated than I expected it to be! 6y
Cathythoughts Very interesting 😋... just goes to show you ! 6y

Saturday Surprises! #happymail from my dear friend and #penpal - @BekahPat 🤗 I love your “Disclaimer” on the cover and agree: this cover art does not match the synopsis. I‘m excited to dive into this soon. Thank you so much! #neverjudgeabookbyitscover P.S. - love your TX stickers!

LiteraryinPA The Almost Sisters is SO good. I loved it! 6y
BekahPat I had to share this book with you! I knew within the first 30 pages I was going to make you read it. One night stands with Batman = Jackie‘s gotta read this. 6y
JackOBotts @BekahPat You know me so well! 6y

Fact! I'm so loving this book! It's funny, insightful, poignant, current yet timeless... It's embarrassing, but I totally passed on this until now because I didn't like the cover, and at a glance it didn't sound like my thing. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #neverjudgeabookbyitscover

Amos Fortune: Free Man | Elizabeth Yates

I'm always a little sad to see a book without its dust jacket. So when I open an unassuming hardback and find lovely front pieces like this I'm reminded to never judge a book by its cover. The Book is called Beloved Bondage by Elizabeth Yates. I couldn't find it on Litsy so I used a different one by her.😘 #bookstagram #vintagebooks #moon #neverjudgeabookbyitscover #peteandfreddys #elizabethyates
