Hello and welcome to Showcase Sunday. SS is a weekly blog hop hosted by Vicky over at Books, Biscuits and Tea where we showcase what books and bookish things we have received in the past week. You can tell you are a party animal when you celebrate something by buying yourself some books. This week I was in Costco and I saw two beautiful boxed sets. They were Vintage Classics editions of old favourites with stunning redesigns! I have taken them out to take pretty pictures of them for you. Enjoy. Clicky the images for Goodreads! If you follow me on my Instagram, you may have already seen these! These are all the books with just the spines.
So Pretty
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransom
Treasure Island by R.L Stevenson
The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier

I love the new covers! It’s exciting whenever such classics are reinterpreted whether through their covers or other authors re-interpreting their stories in some other way. Thanks for sharing and thanks for dropping by my Sunday Post 🙂

What gorgeous covers…they have me feeling very nostalgic. I was in the book section of Target earlier this week and saw the loveliest cover redesigns for the Nancy Drew mystery series…such a great way to appeal to new–and previous–readers.

When I bought them, you couldn’t see the covers because of the box set was covered in plastic that I was not allowed to take off. Luckily there are stunning ;D xxx
