My little cousins have books on their wish list this year, so I thought I would put together a collection of some of my favorite books to send them. I’ve been slowly collecting these old favorites so that one day I’ll be able to pass them down to my kids, in case any one of these books ever go out of publication.

Someone told me recently that books will be irrelevant in the coming years, but I highly doubt that. Or rather, I’d like to believe that there are people out there who still appreciate the experience of reading an actual book and turning those crispy pages every now and then.

I’m loving these new cover designs by David Pearson and Coralie Bickford-Smith for Penguin Classics. Definitely on my wish list this year. I do love a good book cover.
