Current/Recent Read
I'm reading quite a few books at the moment, so I decided to feature a recent five-star read that I read--J.R.R. Tolkien/Christopher Tolkien's The Children of Hurin! I'll confess, I've still never made it fully through The Silmarillion, but I've been dying to read other Middle Earth universe books and decided I would just move on and try them out, and I don't regret it at all. If you've enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy and have been hesitant to read more books in the universe--don't be, The Children of Hurin was extremely readable and entertaining, although it is rather tragic. Anyway, enough of that--let's check out some of the many covers for this book!
2007 US Hardcover | 2009 US Paperback | 2009 Persian
2002 German | 2018 Polish | 1988 German
2010 Spanish | 2008 Dutch | 2009 French
2009 Dutch | 1994 Polish | 2010 Mass Market Paperback
My choice(s):
I love the simplicity of these ones, I feel like they really stand out and make a statement!
What cover(s) do you like the most!?
I also liked the simplicity of the 2008 Dutch cover!
ReplyDeleteI like the US hardcover and the 2010 paperback. Lots to choose from!
