When I visit my friends for a bit longer I love to take a peek into their bookshelves and check out their books. Here are some from Iva's collection; Sophie Blackall's Missed Connections (check out her lovely blog if you don't know it already), Banksy's Wall and Piece, John Berger's Ways of seeing and Lotta prints by Lotta Jansdotter (this book actually belongs to Iva's sister). Ah... I wouldn't mind having them all. :)

My dearest friend Tina surprised me with this adorable book about little Marta and her heart. It's written by Patricija Peršolja and illustrated by one of my favorite Slovenian illustrators Silvan Omerzu. Such joy!

I've been searching for this wonderful book quite awhile and was then infinitely happy when I found it on Bolha for only 3 euros. I've loved Jiří Šalamoun illustrations since I was a kid and was always happy when I saw his cartoons Maksi pes Fik on TV.

I was so happy to see a new Paumes book - Finland Apartments in my mailbox today and what was even greater was to see one of my favorite illustrators - Hanna Konola featured in this book as well. I really love Paumes books and I think Edi likes them as well. :)

ps: Tomorrow the winners of my giveaway will be known but you can still enter it
if you hurry.

Beautiful garden of Hamelin associazione culturale and Ana's Nine stories about love and Camilla's Troppo Tardi (both written by Giovanna Zoboli).

Three more books I like from their collection: Krazy kids' food!, Cour a Courek
(illustration by Adolf Born) and Nekoč je živela bela roža by Kveta Pacovska.
There is so many I like but I can't show you all of them... but better some than
none, right? :)
Have a wonderful weekend (possibly in a company of wonderful books). :)

It's always nice to browse through my friend's bookshelves. Here are some I really like from their collection:  I wait here for you forever as long as it takes by Stefan Marx,  Napa 05 (the selected page is  Nene Tsuboi's work), Die biographie der Frau Trockenthar and Phenomenon Marimekko.
