Probably all the covers from the WondLa trilogy, specially this one
The author has some good Graphic Design degrees so this could be a reason why
Also, fortunately, ain't not one of those "good cover, poor plot" books
Anything with glorious type, like The Little Paris Bookshop cover, although some of the classic redesigns are lovely. I have a couple of the puffin clothbounds, and the puffin in bloom series is amazing. The A Darker Shade of Magic series has some cool covers too. I collect books, especially pretty covered books so I could probably name even more. Ofc the Harry Potter series as well just for pure nostalgia, the original covers although some of the new redesigns are gorgeous.
i really like the little paris bookshop omg! (the cover, i haven't read the book :P)Quote:

soz about quality (and size since it's huge omg)
Those covers are amazing!
I've heard so many people talk about pretty little liars. Is it even any good?
DILLEMA don't know which one's better: the covers made for the first editions (with an illustration of Harry on it) and theseQuote:

are you planning on (re)reading them? i don't see why people buy books just to have them on their shelves and not read them
yeah it's pointless, just like ordering pizza/collecting videogames to use them as artdeco instead of devouring/playing themQuote:

for sure! someone i went to school with used to buy books with covers that she likes and then rip the covers off and stick them on her wall, and then throwing the inside of the book away. i don't understand why she didn't just print off the covers from the internet??? that's an awful way to treat a book :(Quote:

nooo use the bookmarks! :( lmao
I would but I don't know where half of them are, I'm pretty sure my mum stole them before she got her kindle.
get some more! or use a piece of paper. don't know why folding papers triggers me so much hahah
I think it's just so much easier for me to fold the page because searching for a book mark is just effort :(
fair enough but cri :(
As if there were 00 scanners printers or ANY KIND OF HEALTHY AND SAFE COPYING STUFF ON EARTHQuote:

hbu??? let's trade this, againnn
yes give me the bookshelves!Quote:

girl genius! I started reading a few years ago (that means the "without pictures" ones, but comic books are here since 2003 that's crazy)Quote:

I love that Book Depository sends you a bookmark with each order so my bookmark pile is stocking up so I've stopped folding corners for now
