I came across a really great art project by Jane Mount today. It’s called Ideal Bookshelf and you can commission her to paint the spines of your favourite books, the books that changed your life and made you who you are today (a little bit) – or you can get art prints of other people’s ideal bookshelf. I love both books and art, so that’s pretty cool right? I’m definitely going to have one custom made if I ever have the money.
Which books would be ‘portrayed’ on your bookshelf? I think mine would definitely contain classics like Pride & Prejudice or Atonement, but maybe also some books I just loved reading like 44 Scotland Street.

What a really good idea as we all have our favourite books of all time and what an original gift idea. I too would include Pride and Prejudice and also Le Petit Prince.

It’d definitely have to be Harry Potter. And the Twilight series I guess… Seems like I’m into fantasy ;) Have you read the Hunger Games btw? X
