My Ideal Bookshelf for my tenth grade English class!
]]>My favorite books and those that I hope will become favorites!
]]>Another awesome thing by way of Chronicle’s blog, the tiny books of Henrik Franklin!
]]>Pin Club in the UK sells a lot of amazing pins, and some of ours! Nik, who runs it, takes the *best* photos of pins, like this one. All of these are available through our shop here in the U.S., but if you want to order to be shipped to anywhere in the UK or Europe, it will almost definitely be cheaper to buy through pinclub.co.uk!
]]>I love these paintings by Marina Luz so very much (as seen on Chronicle’s awesome blog). Cat Possibly Named Henry is my favorite.
]]>I have a new print on 20x200! Here’s the statement about it:
I paint the books that change people’s lives, that make us who we are. In this ridiculous year that alternates between supremely inspiring (smash that highest glass, HRC!) and supremely depressing (ugh, I can’t even type his name), I have been thinking a *LOT* about equality, privilege, and love, for women and men of all races and orientations. There’s one thing that has shown me how pervasive sexist shit still is AND helped me feel better about all the things being done to overcome it: the She-Woman Misogyny Haters Club, started by Ms. Jen Bekman on Facebook. Despite the name, there are both male and female members, and many of them gave their excellent input on what books made them the feminists they are today (like We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie), or taught them that it’s totally awesome to be a girl (A Wrinkle in Time!) or woman. There are even a few new books by club members, including Grace Bonney’s In the Company of Women and Julie Scelfo’s The Women Who Made New York.
]]>Absolutely love these prints of pictures painted on library cards by Vickie Moore!! See her Etsy shop.

]]>A writer friend (we worked together in the way-early internet days) and her illustrator husband have just made a really awesome little limited-edition book called All Black Cats Are Not Alike. I will be giving several as Christmas gifts to cat-loving friends, for sure.

I chose books with a special connection to me. Some are gifts from family, some sparked an interest in me, and the black book is my diary. If I was on a desert island, I could last with these books for years without getting bored.
