    These editions are one of the most brilliant collections from Penguin! I love them... the idea of making 26 such books is INCREDIBLE! I love the close ups you filmed!!! Love you... You deserve more and more subscribers!

    I really want to get this collection but I don’t know if it’s worth my money. I don’t know how many of those books I’d read and I’m not sure how many I’d like. (I’m a huge book collector and a huge reader but I’m not sure if I’d like all these books.)

    Question: Before I buy Lord of the flies.
    Are the pages glued or sown?

    This collection is soooo beautiful! They probably look wonderful on your shelves. How many have you read so far? Any favorite? Any disappointment?

      Sev thank you ! It is definitely my favorite shelf on my bookcase, maybe one day I’ll make a video showing a bookcase your :) so far I’m lucky that no book has disappointed me but I still have many books to get through ! Have you read any of the books mentioned in this video ? If you did that could be next on my reading list :)

    • @severinemarechalle4197
      @severinemarechalle4197 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for answering! I have read only a few of them Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Great Expectations, Madame Bovary, Lord of the Flies, Siddhartha, The Joy Luck Club, Candid and the Shadow of the Wind. I have not been disappointed. Tbh, I was more looking for your opinion on other books of the collection to extend my own reading list ;-) Also,. I was surprised it did not include the most famous work of these authors (like for Steinbeck, Ishiguro, Rushdie or O'Hara).

      @@OMGGitsCAROL Werent you afraid of buying Drop Cap books that you haven't read before and then end up not liking some of them?
      I only buy pretty Hard Cover editions of Novels that I've already read (and Loved) on Mass or Trade paperback . This way I'm not losing money on books I'll never read again.
