The #CoverLoveTag

  I found this tag (a few years late) on The Edge of the Precipice blog, and thought it looked like fun to do.


 A book cover featuring a gorgeous dress:

The Outdoor Girls at Ocean View by Laura Lee Hope 1915




  

 I don't know if I would call these dresses gorgeous, but I do think they are really cute. 

 

A book cover with no people, just a pretty scenery:

The Inheritors by Jane Abbott (1953)

  

A book cover that's ''well-loved'':

Heidi by Johanna Spyri (1881)
 

 This is one of the first long books I remember reading, It's pretty worn, and it's also one of my favorite stories.

 

A book cover that just makes you smile:

Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter (1913)

 

A book cover that is your favorite color:

Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott (1876)

 

 A cover of a book with fond memories attached to it:

The Moffats by Eleanor Estes (1941)


A book you wanted solely for the cover:

Real Folks by Mrs. A. D. Whitney (1871)
 


 The dates are when the book was first published, not necessary the date of the edition I own.

    I have never heard of The Outdoor Girls! That book looks jolly, though.

    Very nice selections :-)

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

Image
  I am writing this post for The Umpteenth Blogathon Hosted by Essays from the Couch.   Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is classic musical about towns girl Millie (Jane Powell) who marries backwoodsman Adam Pontipee (Howard Keel) after a whirlwind courtship and goes to live with him and his six brothers on his farm.  Howard Keel sings "Bless Yore Beutiful Hide." Jane Powell sings "Wonderful, Wonderful Day."  Jane Powell sings "Goin' Co'tin'" and preform a fun dance number with the brothers.  The barn-raising dance is one of highlights of the movie.  The Brothers sing "Lonesome Polecat" and preform a ballet type number.  Howard Keel and the brothers sing "Sobbin' Women."  The girls sing "June Bride."  The brothers and the girls sing "Spring, Spring, Spring."  I  have seen this movie so many times so I thought it would be perfect for this blogathon; it is also the first musical I remember liking.

Double Agent (1987)

   If there was anybody who know how to make a movie "so bad it was good" to perfection, it was Disney as this '80s spy film shows.  Veterinarian, Warren Starbinder, (Micheal McKean) lives a normal life with his wife, their two kids, and the family dog.    That all changes when he is convinced by Special Agent Vaughn (Loyd Bochner) to pose as his identical twin brother Jason Starr.  Soon Warren is trying to meet a contact, to get a secret document; all the while trying to avoid a thug and two KGB agents who are after him.   At first Warren doesn't believe that his brother was a spy till he's shown the spy gadgets in his apartment; because a man is not a secret agent unless he has cool spy gadgets in his apartment.  A secret agent must also have a fancy high-powered car with cool gadgets; a pack of licorice sticks instead of cigarettes, and a partner who just got of spy school, who is more of a hindrance than a help.  Of course no self respect...

Image
 I am doing Thursday Movie Picks for the first time ever.  It is hosted by Wandering through the Shelves .     The theme for Thursday this week is Oscar Winners: Best Original Score and Best Original Song .  Ideally I should of posted this on Thursday, but I've been so busy I haven't had time to write anything till now. Best Original Score  Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) I love the score for this movie. It's very lighthearted and fun, and it suits the movie perfectly. The Sound of Music (1965)  The score for this movie is very good. It's one of my favorites.  Chariots of Fire (1981)  I think the score is one of the things that really make this movie. I love it. It's very moving and very good.   Best Original Song Swing Time (1936) ~ "The Way You Look Tonight"  I love this song, and it was the third song to win the Academy Award for Best Song. Holiday Inn (1942) ~ "White Christmas" This is a classic Christmas song, ...
