Hey Everyone. How are ya?
It's about time for another Random Rant Thursday. Typically, the books I like to read are all fiction, all the
stuff of dreams and fantasy. The more unreal it is the more I love it, and my
shelves are bursting at the seams at the moments with all my lovely books. (It’s
about time to buy another shelf) I have everything on them from knickknacks to
book marks, and am always looking for things to make them more pretty. One day,
I’ll show them off, but that’s not today because I’m moving soon and
everything’s all boxed up.
Recently, I was contacted by Invaluable.com to make a blog
post of my dream literary collection from their site, and since they sell
awesome antiques, and the things I love to pretty my shelves with, I figured
why not?
Books:
Invaluable.com has a ton of first edition books on sale, in
addition to a ton of other books as well. After spending hours on the site,
these are the ones I absolutely would love!
Rudyard Kipling – The Jungle Book
Robert Louis Stevens – The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll andMr. Hyde
Charles Dickens – A Christmas Carol
Arthur Conan Doyle – The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Victor Hugo – Les Misérables
Bram Stoker – Dracula
F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Great Gatsby
Margaret Mitchell – Gone with the Wind
Clocks:
I have a thing for pretty clocks (though you wouldn’t know
it from my house.) and these are absolutely stunning. I can only imaging one of
these on the end of my shelves, perhaps next to my shakespere collections, ro
next to my historical fiction. Seems like a good place.
I found myself getting sucked into this site, and eventually
had to just stop with the site all together so I could get to some homework.
I’d suggest you go take a look at what they offer. It’s much more than just
books, they have paintings, furniture, jewelry, and more. It’s a great site for
the collector, and for the person who just wants that one rare piece that makes
things awesome.
