Im a lover of books. Always have been, always will be. I remember winning a reading contest at my library when I was 9 for reading over 200 books in one summer. All I got was a watercolour paint set. Yes. Im a true nerd at heart.
I love old books, books that have history and books that can be passed down from generation to generation. I feel like there is always a story (no pun intended) behind an old book.
Recently Ive been finding some vintage books at a few of my local thrift stores and Ive been collecting them for my future book shelf in our family room one day.
Recently I came across some neat books on the Anthropologie site. They have the Penguin Classics Clothbound Collection available, which I think would be so pretty to have on your bookshelf.
Classics like: Great Expectations, Sense and Sensibility, Wuthering Heights and my personal fav, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
They aren't cheap, however, Ive done a bit of searching and found them on Amazon as well as ChaptersIndigo :) Best part is you can always get a deal on those sites, and the books themselves are cheaper on there as well.
My favorite find- the children's versions:
Peter Pan, Anne of Green Gables, Robin Hood, The Secret Garden, The Wind in the Willows and Huckleberry Finn.
You better believe those are going to be in a children's room in our house one day :)
Happy Reading!
I also love books too and have purchase a couple of these Penguin books already and they are on display in my lounge :)

Have a delicious day!
I know! They are such great classics to have and hopefully pass down for generations :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh.. I love those books. The spines are gorgeous! Maybe I'll be adding those to my Christmas wishlist. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these too, I've got about 6 of them in my collection but want to get a few more for the nursery. They're just too cute!
