What I'm reading + NOTD pt.7

Look at this beautiful cover! I must say that the covers play a big factor when I'm choosing a book in the library. Maybe the book is going back on the shelf when I read a short describtion of it, but at least I will pick it up. And this one with its beautiful cover was noticed :)

The author of Middlemarch is George Eliot, but did you know that George Eliot is a pen name of Mary Ann Evans? She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure her works would be taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names during Eliot's life, but she wanted to escape the stereotype of women only writing lighthearted romances. 

Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life was first published in eight instalments (volumes) during 1871–2. The novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during 1829–32 and it comprises several distinct (though intersecting) stories and a large cast of characters. Significant themes include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education.

Middlemarch is written as a third-person narrative, centering on the lives of the residents of Middlemarch, a fictitious Midlands town, from 1829 onwards — the years preceding the 1832 Reform Act. The narrative is variably considered to consist of three or four plots of unequal emphasis: the life of Dorothea Brooke; the career of Tertius Lydgate; the courtship of Mary Garth by Fred Vincy; and the disgrace of Bulstrode. The two main plots are those of Dorothea and Lydgate.Each plot happens concurrently, although Bulstrode's is centred in the later chapters.

The book in Slovenian language was published in 2015 and it is devided in two parts/books. I read the first part, and I will read the second in near future. 

The nails go so well with the cover :) And I like this deep berry colour so much! This one is again from a limited edition, from 2012 I think and it is Essence Home Sweet Home LE - 03 Hot Fruit Punch. 

Because it took me a while to read this I have another polish to show you.

The second one is from Catrice wit the name Karl Says Tres Chic. I like the fisrt one better, I think that the darker colours look better on me. What do you think?

Have a nice day ;)
