Top 5 Wednesday is hosted by Samatha at Thoughts on Tomes. The guidelines and topics can be found on the Goodreads group.
This is a great topic! I’ll just start showing some lovely covers, straight away! 🙂
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone illustrated by M. Kay
Well, we’ll just get this out of the way because, of course, I need to have a Hogwarts related book cover on this list. Everyone wants to live there. I (still) don’t own any of these editions, but I think they’re gorgeous! This is the entire illustration. Just look at this!
2. The Wordsworth Classics Edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
It just looks so peaceful. And such a gorgeous view! Also, I really wish I could paint, but I’m very bad at it. Maybe I could learn?
3. The Prisoner of Heaven by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
How pretty is this, ha? Barcelona, here I come!
4. These editions of the first two Vampire Chronicles books
This is how I would live if I ever became a vampire. (There’s still time, I might.) I mean, what’s the point of being a vampire if you don’t live in a big creepy house, right?
5. My Cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier
So, I get a gorgeous mansion with this one? Ok, I’m gone, bye!
Those Anne Rice covers. 100% yes. I would live like that if I could.

The illustrated editions of the Harry Potter books are beautiful! I own both that are out at the moment. Hope you can get your hands on them as well! 🙂
I love both Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat! They are such great books and I love how vampires are portrayed in them. Great list! 😀

They really are beautiful, and thanks, I really hope I’ll get at least one of them. 😀
Vampire Chronicles were everything to me in high school, they started my love for vampires. 😊 I love how vampires are portrayed in the books, too. Later books are not as good, but the first three in the series are amazing!

I have only read the first three books in the Vampire Chronicles and they were amazing! 😀 I don’t know if I will continue with the series or not, maybe in the future.

I love the first two, too, and the fourth is ok. But the fifth was very disappointing for me and I stopped there. I feel like it should’ve remained a trilogy or at least a quadrilogy. But I’m reading Prince Lestat now, and I think it might be good! I just started it so I’ll have to see.

I see. Well, I hope that Prince Lestat will be good at least and that you will enjoy it. 🙂
