First things first…what is the Feature & Follow Blog Hop? Well, it’s a weekly meme hosted by Rachel @ Parajunkee and Alison @ Alison Can Read. The meme helps to launch new book bloggers and also makes it easy for quite a few already established (and new!) bloggers to get together once a week and go on a commenting-frenzy. Make new friends, get in touch with old ones…it’s a win/win for everyone!

The question is:
Have you ever looked at a book’s cover and thought, This is going to be horrible? But, was instead pleasantly surprised? Show us the cover and tell us about the book.
Hrm. I think….
Yes, definitely Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I don’t think any of the covers for this book are very lovely. In fact, most of them are very “blah”. The story, though, is fantastic and I think it’s one everyone should read. So go get it! 🙂

I agree, classic book with a terrible cover.

New follower thanks to FF 🙂
Welcome to Literary Obsession, Jenni! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, and I’ve hopped over to your place as well to return the follow. Have a great weekend.
Hopping through. I agree that Jane Eyre – and most classic – book covers are very bland.
My Hop
Bland is a very nice way of putting that, Alison. 🙂
Don’t like the cover either although I’ve never read anything by Jane Eyre. Following Linky, goodreads, and facebook.

Hi Jennifer 🙂 Thanks for following, and I’ve gone to your place to follow back.
I don’t care for the cover, but I would probably never touch it because I’m not a fan of classics. Old follower 🙂
My Friday Hops
Good to see you here again, Jessi! I popped over to your place to leave a comment for you. Happy weekend and all that good stuff.
Just as an FYI – Jane Eyre is epic and awesome. It doesn’t really read like a classic…in that it’s not all stuffy and boring. It’s just a lovely romantic tale. I think you should give it a try!
This really is an awful cover for this book not good at all, new follower, here’s mine

Hi Sarah, and happy weekend to you! I’ve gone to your blog to follow back. 🙂
I really don’t like this cover either. I always find I have general dislike when it comes to covers for classics, actually; the only classic cover that I’ve liked is one for The Little Princess.
New follower!

Thanks for hopping by, Debbie. 🙂 I agree with you – the classics never seem to have great covers!
My copy of Jane Eyre doesn’t have a very nice cover either but it’s definitely one of my favorite stories. Happy Friday!

Happy Friday to you, too, Denise! I’ve followed back. 🙂
Yes, I totally agree about this cover. Meh. Thanks again for following me! NEW FOLLOWER.

Jessica from Booked Up! 🙂 x
Thanks for coming, Jessica! I’ve gone over to your place and followed you, as well. 🙂
I just wanted to say hi! I found your blog through BBPOC. I agree with the Jane Eyre covers – they’re normally not that wonderful. But the book is great! I’m looking forward to reading more from you! New Follower!

Hi there, Andrea! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Jane Eyre is definitely great – not so much its various covers, though. Fortunately, I learned not to judge a book by its cover a long time ago. 😉
Unfortunately, I do have a weakness for pretty covers. I’m drawn to them, and disappointed if the story inside isn’t as beautiful.
