What Waddled In

Believe it or not, it's actually NOT bad this week!! Only FOUR books!! But fear not...many more books will waddle in soon :p I found an amazing seller who sells vintage penguins at a reasonable price and I may have ordered 15 books from her >> And I may have ordered 3 more from another seller >> And I have an absolutely amazing friend who just picked up some incredible Pelicans that he found for me :D :D :D I am excited about what did come in this week though. I got three Puffin Modern Classics  and another in the Penguin Great Books for Boys series. I love both of these for the design of them. I think that's what they do best really...design their books. They just make them so APPEALING to read. Which reminds me I need to get back to Macbeth which I've been liking a lot more than I thought I would. And I really do love what Penguin did with the Pelican Shakespeare series...but more to come after I actually read that one ;) Here's what waddled in...and since I only got four books this time, I'll actually post pics of the covers too this time so you can see what I mean about how great the cover designs are!

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens (Introduction by Garth Nix)
The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann D. Wyss (Introduction by Jon Scieszka)
Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne (Introduction by Dianna Wynne Jones)

What Waddled In

Not a bad week at all as far as the penguins, pelicans and puffins go! I love watching my little collection grow :) And I finally finished my first book since starting this book, Voluntary Madness by Norah Vincent. It's a new title, but it really was a fascinating book. Random.org has demanded that I read Macbeth by Shakespeare next :/ I'm not thrilled by this, but part of this project is expanding my literary horizons, so read it I shall! And it'll fit nicely into the RIP challenge. Here's what waddled in this week:
