That's not boredom, that's indigestion.<br /><br />I have a small collection of bad Little Women covers (who knew it was set during the American Civil War!) and you inspire me to put them together in a post.

I have the no-girls allowed version :)<br /><br />Anne of Green Gables has a lot of potential in the worst covers category, and there's always Austen. I remember a very steamy P&P cover that I saw in the supermarket a few years ago.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-34874409939271132482014-02-10T13:40:49.716-05:002014-02-10T13:40:49.716-05:00Of that group, the only one that somewhat represen...Of that group, the only one that somewhat represents the story is the Penguin classic, but it's not a great cover. Penguins are generally excellent editions, however. I also love Modern Library. And House of Mirth is one of my all-time favorites. I found Age of Innocence kind of slow, but after reading House of Mirth I was hooked on Wharton.
