This week's topic is:
Vampire
I didn't actually have as many vampire books to choose from as I might have expected because I don't tend to really read that many vampire books, but fortunately I did immediately think of Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian! This was a book that I read and absolutely loved as a kid because it felt so mysterious and complex and was just all-around a fascinating book for me.
2005 US Hardcover | 2005 Spanish | 2009 US Paperback
2008 Portuguese | 2005 Paperback | 2005 Italian
2006 Finnish | 2006 Swedish | Persian
2005 Portuguese | 2009 Italian | 2006 Hebrew
2011 Dutch | 2006 Estonian | 2006 Japanese
My choice(s):
I'm probably most drawn to the US Hardcover since it's the edition I own and read, but I also really like the designs for the Spanish edition, Swedish edition, and Persian editions!
What cover(s) do you like the most?
I like the first one and the Dutch 2011 edition a lot as well!
ReplyDeleteI like the US hardcover and Spanish editions. I loved this book too!
ReplyDeleteThis book is one of my favorites, although I haven't reread it in awhile. The Persian cover is really interesting!
