Our Top 10 Book Covers

"Don't judge a book by it's binding", "All that glitters is not gold", "You can't judge a book by it's cover"...and everything along those lines!
The quote was apparently originally recorded a newspaper in 1867: “Don’t judge a book by its cover, see a man by his cloth, as there is often a good deal of solid worth and superior skill underneath a jacket and yaller pants.” and obviously means that you shouldn't or can't base your opinion on someone/something due to appearance alone.
As 'different' people ourselves, we don't. When books are involved however, we do! haha Don't tell me you haven't ever picked up a book from the shelf because it looked pretty!

That being said, we thought we'd like to share a handful of our favourite covered books from our collection each today.

Have Courage, Be Kind: The Tale of Cinderella by Brittany Candau

For my (Mrs H) picks in particular, I can say that I have at least read 3 out of the 5 of my picks so really can attest to them not only beautiful covers but being awesome stories too...though the same can't be said for my husband with a total of 0 read out of 5 haha!
Mr H and I have found some great books in charity shops purely based on first appearances and a quick blurb scan! We also own some wonderful books with not such appealing covers as well as multiple copies of the same book in different cover formats, so yeah.
