Hi everyone! I will be participating in the Feature and Follow book meme hosted by Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. This meme is a great way to increase your following as well as make new friends. Every week the hosts ask a question for you to answer and also each feature a blogger for you to check out. You can visit any Feature and Follow post on the hosts' blogs for more information. Now onto this weeks question!
Question: Do you own any doubles of your books? What led to getting that second…or third or fourth…copy? – A Great Read
Answer: I had to check my shelf for this one but I was surprised to find out I actually own three copies of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen! I did read it a while ago and enjoyed it, but it wasn't a massive favourite of mine. I own all these copies purely by coincidence, had no idea I already had it sitting on my shelf. Guilty! Though the third book is actually an omnibus of all her complete novels, so maybe that isn't as bad? It's about time I re-read this classic though.
Thanks for reading! If you're here on a blog hop, I'd prefer to be followed via RSS or Bloglovin' but GFC is fine too if that's what you like to use. Be sure to leave me a comment letting me know you stopped by!
Oh my goodness, those covers for Pride and Prejudice are absolutely gorgeous. I've been meaning to re-read that at some point. It's been so long. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading and Hopping! :)

They are! I know, where does the time go? Thank you (:
ReplyDeleteI know! No worries (: x
ReplyDeleteNIce - I love that the one you found more than one of is a classic, and that you actually have three of it, Shan :D
ReplyDeleteEspecially the first cover is amazing - it looks like a painting.
Have a great weekend and happy reading.
I have a lot of the same book for classic books! NO SHAME! They're all just too pretty to only have one edition xD
ReplyDeleteBeautiful covers, particularly that last one!

Nice choice! Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, those covers are gorgeous! Your blog is gorgeous, too! Thanks for following me! I followed you back via GFC and Bloglovin'!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Pride and Prejudice yet (I know, I know... chame of me), it never calls me really. Though, the 3 covers are beautiful, but the last one I love it. It's so delicate and elegant! I really like it.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteHaha aww don't feel bad about it! Thanks for stopping by (:
ReplyDeleteI'm not actually too guilty of this! I think I have 2 copies of The Bane Chronicles and The Winner's Curse, but this is because I got sent multiple copies for review on accident! GAH! I felt so guilty. I'll definitely give them away at some point. xD
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
No worries! The Winner's Curse looks like a good read though (: Happy reading x
ReplyDeleteThe Winners Curse is such a good book :-)
ReplyDeleteHAHA. Someone else who isn't 100% sure what she has on her shelves! So glad I'm not alone. :)

Aww same here hahah (:
ReplyDeleteI want to read it!
ReplyDeleteI have to reread Pride and Prejudice again - it's been far too long. But time, I never seem to have enough time :)
ReplyDeleteI end up with duplicates when I want to read a hardback copy that I own, but don't want to carry it around on my daily travels so Kindle to the rescue. It goes everywhere!
