I hope you guys are ready for some serious February posts – like pink books, for one. When I was younger, I hated pink. Yuck. Now, I love it. I don’t like to wear it but I love it around me, and well, since I usually have books all around, I looked up some pretty in pink covers of classic books. And wow, there are some lovely ones out there! Also..I may have taken liberties with the definition of pink, or how much pink..

Starting out strong with Anna Karenina. I thought this cover was so beautiful, and sort of Hepburn-esque.
This Wordsworth Collector’s Edition of Alice in Wonderland is certainly wonderful! I love everything about it! That cute little rabbit, the mushroom, the playing cards – just so adorable!
The Great Gatsby is one of my all time favorite classics, and this Wordsworth Luxe Collection edition is gorgeous! I remember the first copy I ever owned was the iconic version by Francis Cugat that we probably all think of and recognize instantly. However, this version is just so pretty and delicate.
I am obsessed with this cover of Anne of Green Gables, and I am pretty sure Anne would be too. I am 100% putting this copy on my list to buy one day!
I think this copy of Little Women by Barnes and Noble is perfection! It sort of makes me think of quilts and samplers and the era that Little Women took place in.
I had so many to choose from with this title! I love how dreamy this edition is! I would have felt remiss if I had left the darling of the literary world, Jane Austen, off this list, and Pride and Prejudice is probably the most widely loved. (and this one might lean a little bit more lilac than pink..)
This Art Nouveau inspired set of love stories is absolutely beautiful. I love how this collection from Juniper Books includes Love in the Time of Cholera!
Now..my favorite! I love Jane Eyre and while I already have a copy, I need one of these two! The first cover is by Signature Classics, while the second version is a Wordsworth Luxe. Which one do you think I should get? You guys pick!
I know you “can’t judge a book by its cover,” but good covers stop me in my tracks every time! Im’ sure it’s one reason why I love the British Crime Library series. They remind me of the All Creatures Great and Small credits!
Lol me too!! And I love that style as well! They use it in the Durrells credits too. Lol. Every time you post about those books I am like, I need to read those…
Great covers! When I first saw your blog title, my mind went to that move Pretty in Pink, which I loved and watched several times.
Yes! I had that in mind honestly when I named this post. Lol. I loved all those Molly Ringwald movies.
I like special covers for classics!
I know right???
That Pride and Prejudice cover is gorgeous! We should buy it and both photograph it, put it on our Instagram, film ourselves looking at it like we are reading buuuut…never actually read it. *wink*
Lol!! Notice I didn’t mention buying that one….. I mean maybe just for looks. I just can’t read Austen! Watch the movies, yes. Books, my mind turns off.
I might read them if all the books were that pretty.
My vote is for Alice in Wonderland! But, really any of them are gorgeous!! My favorite book is by Charlotte’s sister, Emily! Wuthering Heights…I wonder if there are any pink covers for that!!!

Isn’t that one so pretty!!! I love the whimsy of it!!
Hmm. I wonder too! It seemed like there were pink covers for all the books I looked up! The Bronte sisters rock.
Alice in Wonderland and Little Women were two of my childhood favourite reads. The covers on your copies are amazing! I also love hoe the Juniper Collection forms such a beautiful image.
That Alice in Wonderland is so adorable. And I loved Little Women as a kid too. 🙂 All the Juniper Collection books do that! They are super pricey so I don’t own any lol but they are really cool.

I would certainly not have associated the story of Anna Karenina with the color pink, but it does make for a beautiful cover!
Lol!! It does make a great cover but yeah I could see that!
Wordsworth Luxe! It’s beautiful! My Jane Eyre is a used Signet Classic. 😊
It is so pretty!
I agree. Did you decide? Or still looking for another one?
I ordered the one that you liked (I liked it best too) but when it came it wasn’t as nice as I had imagined!! So I returned it and now I am still looking. Lol.
Oh no! That happens way to often.
