Quirk Books 2009 | Quirk Books 2015 | Flammarion 2009 | Heyne Verlag 2010

Have you read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? I loved it! Its fun and different and makes Elizabeth into even more of a bad a$$ than she already is! The movie is pretty bad but I still like it, its kind of a guilty pleasure for me!
Least Favorites:
The first one the zombie parts are too cartoony compared to the realistic lady. The second one is too gross, I don’t like that her guts are exposed.
Favorites:
This is a hard one! The first cover has perfect expressions for both Lizzy and Darcy! but it is a little cartoony. I love the second cover but its the movie cover and I feel like I shouldn’t like it. The third is the best with an actual Zombie on it, but it doesn’t have Lizzy and Darcy.
Winner:
This one is a little childish for the story-line but I think it is still my favorite. I just love the expressions on their faces and the tombstone in the background!
Which one is your favorite? Do you agree with my pick? Let me know in the comments!
I like your pick the best, those faces make the cover.

I have to admit I love the movie cover of this one. It appeals to me. I love Lily James and I would actually wear that outfit. 🙂

I read Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies and LOVED it. I’ve never read Jane Austen – the gothic romances just don’t really appeal to me as a genre – but this I couldn’t resist. I am partial to the Quirk Classics cover, though, because that’s the one I own. 🙂

Glad you liked it! The original Pride and Prejudice is definitely not Gothic, but I think the zombie one is 😀

Imania is also my favourite! I’m a sucker for watercolours and yeah, their expressions are just absolute gold. 😀

Great idea for this week! I had a hard time with this one, for some reason. I think I’m partial to the Quirk edition, I guess because that’s the copy I have.

Thanks 😀 That is the one I own too, but I am not a huge fan of it.

I was drawn right away to their expressions too! It’s almost perfect but I agree with your estimation that its a little too cartoony. This is a great feature!

I like the one you’ve chosen! I like “art” covers and that’s an interesting, almost comic-like style!

Ack those are kinda creepy! In a good way. 🙂 I actually like the movie tie-in cover on this one, even though I normally don’t like those, but in this case it works for me. I like that they look kinda badass in that one. 🙂

the one movie tie in cover with only Darcy and Elizabeth isn’t that different than a cover with models on it. Its not super movie tie in esque.

I’ve got this one by my bed, but haven’t yet got around to reading it. It’s a great choice to this week’s theme, though:)). I went with the Freebie option as I don’t read much horror. I agree with your choice, the others are simply too gross. Thank you for swinging by my site:)
