Thanks to everyone who commented last week. Many noted that Pride & Prejudice seemed to lead the adaptation pack. Sue mentioned Sherlock Holmes which is another good one for spin offs. Alina suggested Shakespeare has a number of adaptations. There were five mentions of Beauty and the Beast, three of Cinderella, two of fairy tale re-tellings generally and five couldn't think of any others.

WEEK #332
(One Question.)
Nikki asks: When reading Hardcovers, do you remove the cover jackets first??
This question came at a good time as I just received two hardback books for review. I have not removed the cover jackets. I see that I will use them as a bookmark for part of the reading - near front and back - but I might need a real bookmark for the middle.Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify.

Congrats Fredamans. Sometimes I do. If it's a library book or borrowed from someone I leave it on.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Today happens to be my 41st birthday, and seeing this surprise made it a greater gift. :-) Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI always remove the jackets so they do not get ruined.
Happy Birthday!
DeleteHappy belated birthday!
DeleteNo I don't remove the cover jackets.
ReplyDeleteIf the dust cover keeps slipping I will take it off. Otherwise it does serve as a bookmark.
ReplyDeleteNo, I do not remove the cover jackets. I also use them as a bookmark for part of the book sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Fredamans!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't remove the cover jackets.
I leave the covers on---and I, too, use them as bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Freda .
ReplyDeleteNo I do not remove the book cover.
I most definitely remove the jackets to keep them safe as I use bookmarks. I can't imagine tearing the jacket while reading the book.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't.
