Your blog is fantastic - you have quite a knack for making seemingly ordinary objects appear beautiful and interesting.<br /><br />I'm still fairly new to blogging, so I'm still surprised when people stumble by my little page - it's very exciting, and a lot of fun.<br /><br />I'm the same! For some reason, I always prefer to own the original book cover - it feels more authentic in a way... <br /><br />You have some interesting views on Atonement... I'm always looking for people who are interested in doing guest reviews - if you would like to write up something more detailed, which compares the book to film, let me know.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589126539759749197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-75114726888135167472011-11-30T21:32:29.461+11:002011-11-30T21:32:29.461+11:00If it helps get more people reading I think should...If it helps get more people reading I think should anything that works on the cover. I tend to try and pick up a copy with the original cover, I don't know why it just feels better. I think the cover of atonement is misleading. The book was a stunner but the movie was very so, so. <br />Reading the book I really had a connection with the characters and had genuine concern for them. After reading the book the movie left me a little cold.<br />I think they are in production on an adaptation of Saturday so if you have not read that it may be worth picking up before it gets released. It is worth it! <br />Just found your blog this morning and I really enjoying it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-38731648779919495112011-11-30T18:19:23.675+11:002011-11-30T18:19:23.675+11:00Yes Rissi, I agree - the original covers of the no...Yes Rissi, I agree - the original covers of the novels are fairly generic. It's likely that the movie covers would lead to more sales...Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589126539759749197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-4090312357167182702011-11-30T10:33:12.755+11:002011-11-30T10:33:12.755+11:00Of the ones you've singled out, I've only ...Of the ones you've singled out, I've only seen <i>Atonement</i>. It was just o.k. But I am not sure that I feel like the poster image does an adequate job of depicting the story (although it's pretty) but then, the novel doesn't really either.<br /><br />Fun post, Danielle. =)Rissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378400717440822186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-80440618979564913682011-11-28T08:37:41.539+11:002011-11-28T08:37:41.539+11:00Thanks Lori!

Once again, you make a great point - anything that motivates people to buy books should be encouraged!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589126539759749197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-83289669348116719752011-11-27T23:42:44.755+11:002011-11-27T23:42:44.755+11:00No...I have never seen a movie tie-in book cover t...No...I have never seen a movie tie-in book cover that I thought improved on the original book art. I think movie tie-in book covers serve one purpose, to visually alert folks that this is the book a movie is based on, and hopefully sell more books. I don't think it's a bad plan...I like people to buy books. That's my opinion. It was fun to look at your examples.What Remains Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639514211222397393noreply@blogger.com
