    I think Carolyn nailed it because she's an illustrator and she must had seen these covers at some point in her life to get inspiration for her own artwork.

    I LOVE love love love looking through different book covers. I've been so annoyed when a bookstore sent me a random edition, very different to the one I had purchased, when I had specifically shopped around and ordered that specific edition/cover.

    Penguin and Oxford use real real art for most of their classics editions and you could discuss whether the publisher/designer matched the text to the art successfully. Would be a fun video to watch as well.

    • @shalommannequin

      In some instances Penguin has actually used the same artwork for different texts.

    Don Quixote is much more than a comedy. It is very funny but there are some great philosophical moments as well, the unreliable narrator that changes suddenly...It's brilliant!

    A vow the borealis on our wrist.
    We blink the way the headless horseman rides;
    how pounds the heart! his gallop on the bridge.
    Commitments tame the dreadful course of Time.
    A bower parodies the guillotine.
    There, couples smile while cheating Death
    with bowed foreheads and lips about to meet
    where in Love’s kiss eternity is fetched.
    This bond assists the newlywed’s escape,
    and laughing at the hooves behind their backs.
    The horseman’s tricked to stop at thrown bouquets,
    and at the graveyard groove they hide at last.
    With quiet giggling behind tombstones,
    two hands between two tombstones still eloped.

    I imagined "Brokeback Mountain" so when you said, "The Brothers Karamazov" I was so happy as I hate that book.
    This was fun. It was like my sister who is a genius was trying to make the task easy for me, but then she shouldn't have as this girl is a master rememberer of images.

    I own most of my classics in either clothbound edition or in the vintage edition (those with the red spine) so I only guessed a few of these. I usually go for the prettiest cover and I don't really love a lot of the classical painting ones. I just don't love having people on book covers.

    I just bought both Anna Karenina and War and Peace yesterday, and my guess for it was wrong (I also guessed it was Anna karenina) 😂
    My favourite covers are normally paintings or illustrations (preferably with nature) that reflect the story overall. I like penguin popular classics and Oxford world's classics covers. I don't really like modern covers or portraits for classics.

So i was wondering how you choose which books to annotate and why?

    Wait.. The Secret Garden with Maggie Smith? Emma has never seen it??? Or is there another one? That was and still is one of my favorite movies.. but there is that one scene that I always cried when it happened.. and now as a mom I just cant watch it anymore. It haunts me. I read the book about 2 years ago and wasnt the biggest fan. Also, speaking of Maggie Smith.. since she was also in the Harry Potter movies... as soon as I saw you two in your beautiful navy blue tops, I imagined you two to be the super intelligent Ravenclaw besties I wish I could be friends with but I am definitely not on your level😅 Happy Reading!
