This Side of Paradise (Modern Library Classics) by F. Scott Fitzgerald - sorry, no- not much dress there

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain Yes

This edition of Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre A.F. Choderlos de Laclos was on your shelf- it would work

I feel you! Out of 514 on my to-read list, only 5 feature a dress. And I have mystery and historical fiction on mine...... Guess I like my heroines to be more practical than feminine.

When you go to add a book/author, at the bottom of the menu thing that pops up, there's a selection thing for 'cover' rather than link. Alternatively, you can write 'cover' into the code for the link that pops up, so it says 'bookcover' in the [ ] bit.

Eight Cousins (Puffin Classics) by Louisa May Alcott What Katy Did  by Susan Coolidge Fallen (Fallen, #1) by Lauren Kate Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1) by L.M. Montgomery Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1) by Kiersten White would work
