Every week, Danielle (from Danielle’s Book Blog) and Cátia (from TheGirlWhoReadTooMuch) host a feature called Book Traveling Thursdays on Goodreads. They give you a topic each Thursday and you choose a book that you think fits. Then comes the fun part: a cover showdown! You post the original cover, the cover from your country (which I won’t be doing because the books aren’t published here), and then your favorite and least favorite cover from any edition around the world.
This week’s topic is a book that made you smile. I chose Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I just love this book. Elizabeth is my favorite and her witty banter with the other characters always makes me smile, especially with Darcy and Jane. Whenever I reread it or rewatch an adaptation, I can’t help but smile. I had no choice but to pick it. Let’s check out the covers!
ORIGINAL COVER
Published in three hardback volumes in 1813, the original English edition of Pride and Prejudice had no real design other than the typical brown cover. This sort of edition always looks important and historical, which I guess is fitting for this classic novel.
FAVORITE COVERS
The left one is from the UK and the one from the right is the German edition. I’d love to have both: one has a very classic look and the other one a modern one. There were other covers that I loved, but apparently there aren’t any good pictures of them, so I decided to leave this two.
LEAST FAVORITE COVERS
From left to right: United States, Germany, Sweden, and Italy. I don’t think I have to explain why I dislike them so much. They have horrible colors, bad illustrations, or even both in some cases.
Chapter Adventures 
woow, I love your favorite covers! they’re stunning! I would love to have one of them in my bookshelf! ☺
This book is in my TBR and I can’t wait to read Jane Austen books.

I love that UK cover. I don’t understand the butterfly cover choice, nor do I get the blue striped socks one (makes me think of the Wizard of the Oz). Great choices!

I like the covers you chose, I can’t even begin to understand the striped socks, what were they thinking?

Hahaha, I know, right? And there were many other that missed the whole theme and time of the novel.

And it’s even more beautiful when you see actual pictures of the hardback. That photo doesn’t do it justice 😛

I like the Italian cover in your least favorite list, but I don’t see the relevance of it to the content. Maybe they should have saved that cover for a different book.

Exactly! I wouldn’t hate for another book, although I’m not a fan of the combination of colors. I could have worked for something else.
