It's been a while since I've settled down with a good book. Now that our fireplace has made its debut for the season, I've been feeling the urge to read, read, and read some more! But the silly thing is, the prospect of picking up a book again after so long away from printed pages is pretty similar to reintroducing a starving person to food. Better start small and light. Wouldn't it be fun to giggle your way through a vintage dime store horror novel? I'm thinkin' YES! And the funky cover illustrations look mighty tantalizing.
I've rounded up a few of the books behind these pretty covers. Isn't the first title a kicker?!

These covers are gorgeous...I love how the covers only show women - either of the alluring or scared variety! I think my fave is the top left.

I always have to have a book in my purse. When I finish a book, if I don't already have another waiting then I feel rushed to hurry up and find a good book. Lately though, I've been reading old classics like this just for fun :)
