Never judge a book by its cover?

mmm... it's hard not to when a book cover is this nice.

I'm a sucker for buying books with a nice book cover. I mean, if you're going to buy a book you might as well buy something that you will love to see in your bookshelf, right?

I love how Penguin books commissioned illustrator, Jillian Tamaki to create an embroidered book cover of some of the well-known classics. These books will hit shelves in the fall and I can't wait to get my hands on The Secret Garden. That was one of my favourite books growing up...

Here's a photo of the work-in-progress.
