Ideal Bookshelf

Katie introduced me to this artist a few weeks ago and I'm in LOVE. This is so on my dream Christmas list (understandable expensive, they're custom!). Jane Mount takes a list of your favorite books and paints their spines. Obsessed. You can visit the Ideal Bookshelf site or her etsy shop.

The titles I would choose:

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Red Tent - Anita Diamant

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie - Alan Bradley

The Year of Magical Thinking - Joan Didion

The Woman at the Washington Zoo - Marjorie Williams

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

Truth & Beauty - Ann Patchett

My Life in France - Julia Child

The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox - Maggie O'Farrell

The Help - Kathryn Stockett

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - John Berendt

Maybe instead of getting a painting, I'll just collect all of these books and make my own little 'favorites' shelf! That way I can add as I collect more favorites!
