I nearly posted a picture of my bedroom wall filled with Penguin Books post cards, but then I realized I have never shared this treasure. I bought this Colour of Books poster on Etsy & it's basically what it says: a color wheel with a title ascribed to different colors. (Red:Blood Meridian, Emerald: Emerald City of Oz). I've spent a lot of time lost in it, making where it hangs a true #WonderWall.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Interesting information about important books and stories through time. I thought it would be more of a description of these imaginary worlds and maps. There was just a handful of these as most of the entries were summaries about books.

Devouring this book with my lunch. I also put my first entry in my new reading journal. I like the format of this one the best so far. Plus it‘s hardcover so it should survive traveling around. #fearstreet #rlstine

Foyles, London. Oh how I want to teleport there right now!
One day! A Literary Wonderland, for sure. This is the photo my friend sent me back in December😀I don‘t know how to do side by side photos, sorry.

My friend Timothy was at Foyles in London and purchased this book for my birthday. The ironic thing is he had sent me a photo of Foyles from the 2nd floor and I zoomed in on the photo and immediately “I spied” this book. Lol...I said in the next text that I thought that book was super cool looking...he had already bought it for me. That‘s what 45 years of friendship looks like❤️

#Rocktober Day 6 and #UncannyOctober Day 6: I am eagerly #waiting to reach #TimesLikeThese in this literary wonderland as I am still currently stuck in 1914.

I found way more #orangecovers than expected! Very fall and festive for #riotgrams 🎃🍁🎃

homemade Sunday lunch courtesy of chef husband and an excursion to literary wonderlands :) 👌🏼

This might just be the best book about books I have discovered for our current #metareading theme until end of October.

New Crobuzon from Literary Wonderlands- and the book is?????

Can anyone guess which fictional landscape this pic depicts? Hint, those are petunias on the sperm whale!

Such a fun read- explore your favorite bookish places- fiction and non- fiction- will post additional pages soon. Just returned this beauty to the library.

Been dying to add this book to my shelves.

Pretty damn pleased with this library haul!📚Also got JACKABY on audiobook to listen to in the 🚗 on my 20 minute work drive.🤓

I was expecting more of a literary atlas, so this book wasn't quite what I expected. That said, I really enjoyed it, and now I have a whole list of even more books that I need to read. I especially liked how much non-English literature they included - so many things I've never heard of!

#GRABBYHANDS I heard about this one from Litsy and it did not disappoint!

They left out a number of crucial worlds and essays. However the ones they included were fascinating to see from this point of view and in a broader context. The book looks gorgeous which is a plus for my shelf 😉

While a physical copy of this book would be AMAZING, Apple and Amazon have this ebook for $2.99 today! I snatched it up!😍📚

New library loan, but I think I'll have to get a personal copy. This is a beautiful book! ♥

This book was not my favorite. Cool concept, good variety of books, but too spoiler-y, essays can't really get too deep in the short space, and man that book could use a copy editor! Otis is only mildly impressed. #dogsoflitsy

This is reallllly slow going, folks. Cool idea (essays on the fantasy worlds authors create) but they're too short to say anything fabulous, and a few punctuation mishaps are bugging me. I don't really bail on books, and won't on this one because it's for #Popsugar2017 but the sooner I finish, the better!

Delighting in my cardstock letterpress bookmark with an excellent font, and also the hour alone in my car while my middle kid is in her choir practice. 👌🏼

#TBRtemptation.

Found this on the new book shelf at the library. Can't wait to get started! #LitsyAtoZ2017 #ReadHarderChallenge2017 #bookaboutbooks

Loving the #Bookishgifts from my family. A Beverly Clearly collection...anyone else love Ramona like I do? Also, this beautiful book of all sorts of literary worlds 😍
#seasonsreadings2016

Last post tonight, I promise- we had our present night with my aunt tonight since she is spending Christmas with my grandparents, and she got me this!!! So excited!!!😍😍🎉🎉in looking through it, this is going to be a good book for when I am needing a new book to read and need a quick look at it !

Our latest #getindie #bookhaul from @TheBookmarkPR Boutique 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼--- The Literary Wonderlands book is to-die-for! So gorgeous! And it would make the BEST #bookishgift!

I had expected to love this, and parts I did. Loved the visual elements - wish there were twice as many. But in the end, the glaring omissions and the many rather uninspiring essays got to me. Where was Madeline l'engle? How can one make some of my favorite literary places sound so dull and pedestrian?

A #TBRtemptation book that I saw tonight at Barnes & Noble!

And then I saw this at the bookstore. It is basically an encyclopedia of 4,000 years of fictional worlds. It is chronological, and broken down into 5 different eras. The artwork is phenomenal, and there's background information on the authors and where their inspiration came from. The timing of this book couldn't be better-perfect for much-needed distraction and a way for me to discover more authors and their worlds.

Received this beautiful book recently. Going to disappear into it for a while this evening. #literarywonderlands

Gotta hand it to the publicist that sent me a copy of LITERARY WONDERLANDS, she used a Harry Potter quote as her signature sign-off and it sold me even before I got to open up this amazing book. If you are a book nerd and love the imagery behind novels that take you beyond this world and into fantasy/sci-fi then I recommend checking this one out! 💜💜💜

Guys, this book landed on my desk today and let me tell you how fast my Monday turned around. This covers everything from the ancient myths all the way up to 2015 books. IT IS GORGEOUS! It showcases the worlds and the authors who created them. Photo does not do it justice either, as this book is on the larger side. #LiteraryWonderlands

Literary Wonderlands has skyrocketed to the top of my Christmas list. The entry about DFW's Infinite Jest actually made me want to read Infinite Jest. That's pretty impressive, tbh.
