I think I need a Penguin bookshelf…!

But maybe not for 6c0.

EvieBee Cute! I think I need one too! 3y
TrishB Nice though 😁 3y

I've discovered recently that children's books are perfect for late night anxiety!
This was a cute, simple little book full of penguin rhymes (actually, by now I don't remember if there were rhymes). I loved the two pages of penguin types at the end, and the dorky orca Illustration (not included above, but worth seeing). #penguin #ChildrensBooks #PictureBook #NonFiction

Dream team for the Penguin Book Quiz.

@squirrelbrain was our top scorer, fast on the buzzer coming 17th (out of +600!..🏆). Not too shabby.

@Caroline2 @scripturient

LeahBergen Oh, fun!! 💗💗 4y
squirrelbrain I had such fun - and it was only through team tactics that I managed to get so high up - I wouldn‘t have done that on my own! 4y

A 3D penguin visited me thanks to Google. (This was recommended to entertain kids stuck at home, but it turns out also works for adults).

Just a reminder as we go into the new year,

Penguin Readers Rewards are awesome! Buy books from most of PRH‘s imprints and earn free books. Anyplace you buy books new. Including subscription boxes like Owlcrate and BOTM and even Bookoutlet

I earned two free books mostly buying little golden books for my nephew. I used them for the two preorders you see above.

https://account.penguinrandomhouse.com/rewards/

Butterfinger Thank you for sharing. 5y
ralexist I so want to read Zed! 5y
Avanders So... I‘ve had this account for a while but never did anything with it, but your words kept revisiting me and... finally today I added a handful of books I still had receipts for ... and now I deeply regret not having done anything about this sooner!!! 😔😜😁 Thanks for the heads up! 😘 5y
Avanders Wait BOTM and owlcrate too?? 5y
LibrarianRyan @Avanders yep. But you have to make sure they can see the date on the Owlcrate. I usually have to zoom out to 50% to get it all in one snap shot. 5y

Spent an enjoyable few hours this afternoon ‘cataloguing‘ my Penguins onto a spreadsheet. 🐧🐧🐧

I have 81 in total - bought in two ‘batches‘ by my husband. The second of the two gifts was a set of around 50 owned by a P.R Purcell, who wrote his / her name in most of the books. The photo is from a Penguin actually published in 1941 so they must have owned that one from new.

I‘ve shelved them in number order rather than alphabetically...🤔

LeahBergen Very cool! 🧡 🐧 5y

I know I‘ve completely filled the feed with posts just now, but I‘m so very lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends on here! One last birthday picture, I promise!

This is one of my gifts from my husband, for all you 🐧 lovers out there! He bought a whole collection of around 60 vintage penguins - the big box is double stacked! ❤️ I feel a library shelf rearrangement coming on... 😁

Vintage Penguins at Qd each.... ?

I wanted *all* of the books but resisted (for now, but I know that they‘re there...)

I know pretty much everyone here is great at picking out books as gifts. Just in case you have that one troublesome person you can‘t figure out thought, we Penguins are here to help. We‘ve been doing this hotline for a few years now and people love it. And we do too because we love books. (We also don‘t just rec our own titles.) I‘ve been doing it since we started. I can‘t guarantee you‘ll get me but we‘re all great!

CrowCAH This is so cool and great! 😊 7y

1) Apparently this is a thing for a Callie meme? I'm not a hip teen, so I wouldn't know.
2) We get together with my dad's side of the family. I'm hosting this year, which is kind of stressful!
3) Veggies, prepared as unhealthily as possible.
4) yellow
5) pb and pickle sandwich. Don't knock it till you try it!

My husband is 40 today. I'd like to get him a stack of books. He likes sci-fi, pop-sci, Murakami, and penguins. Any fresh ideas for a new stack?

LornaDH @Zelma Thanks! That's his favourite book. And the first one he gave me when we started going out. Said if I didn't like it, we couldn't be friends. 😂 8y

I hit a new high (low?) in book buying. The mail lady just handed me the whole tub since it was all for me. I love working at a bookstore, employee discounts are the best. (And by the best I mean A Major Problem.) 10 more letters and my Penguin Drop Caps set is complete!
