Current Read #30
It's been a minute since I've gotten a Friday Face-Off up, so I'm happy to be back with another one. I've just finished reading a delightful novel called Dallergut Dream Department Store by Lee Mi-ye, translated by Sandy Joosun Lee and figured it would make for a great choice for this week's Friday Face-Off because the covers for this book are so imaginative and fun. Let's take a look at them!
2023 UK Paperback | 2020 Korean | 2024 Polish
2024 US Hardcover | 2023 Italian | 2024 French
2021 Chinese | 2024 Arabic | 2021 Thai
2021 Indonesian | 2023 Italian | 2022 Vietnamese
2021 Russian | 2024 Portuguese | 2021 Korean
2022 Turkish | 2023 Russian | 2021 Chinese
My favorite(s):
I honestly don't think I could pick a favorite for this one because so many are so wonderful. My copy is the 2023 UK paperback edition and I thought it was such a delight, but then I saw all these other editions and I think they're all a delight. I love how colorful they all are and how much they all seem to really capture the spirit of the book and a dreamlike quality. Which one(s) do you like the best?
