I hardly ever go to the bookstore now-a-days (all book shopping is done online!) but a few days ago I made a trip to one just to buy something special from the Penguin Twenty5 limited edition merchandise range (in celebration of 25 years of Penguin India). They have so much awesome stuff like keychains, luggage tags, mini notebooks, regular notebooks, mugs & postcards.
I got an On The Road keychain, The Guide luggage tag & The Lost Girl mini notebook. I like how I chose all three things with a travel/wanderlust theme (it's all in the names!) The leather on the keychain & luggage tag is buttery soft. I would have loved to pick up more from this range but these three things were enough spending for a day. I'm hoping to maybe pick up another mini notebook soon.
ETA - Two days after writing this post, I added some more stuff to the collection!
Again I'm excited to have the canvas bag, a cheeky take on Arundhati Roy's God of Small Things. And I picked up the Lolita mini notebook because I actually have the Penguin classic paperback version of it, it was my first Penguin book. I never finished it though.
☞ I finally made a blogroll!

Love,
Nice! Do they also have the Penguin cups? I'm always tempted to get one but never do. Oh don't you still visit bookstores to check out the books? I do that and then note the ones I want and buy them online. Still love the feel of books. And thanks for adding me to your blogroll...loved how creatively you made up that page!
ReplyDeletePopping into my favourite bookstore and my local library are part of my monthly routine! I couldn't live without that! Thanks for adding me to the blogroll! As soon as I get some piece and quiet I'm going to visit the ones I'm not familiar with already.
ReplyDeleteYes they do! I love the cups & bags because they're cheeky takes on book names. They have a bag of small things (which I just bought, along with another keychain, they were all out of notebooks -_- ) The cups/mugs have names like Chai Time, they're pretty fab. I think I would like a Penguin classics themed apartment, please!
ReplyDeleteThank You & Your Welcome! :)
My blog has changed a lot in the last few years & your're one of my oldest blog friends who stuck around! :D
That is a great routing! I love your blog & you're welcome.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find this awesome stuff!! love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's at most Crossword stores. Although it's been a little while since the range released (it happened at Jaipur Literature Festival) so they are hard to find... dumped in some corner. I had a lot of trouble finding the range in both crossword stores I visited. Just know it will be somewhere in the stationery/office supplies section.
ReplyDeleteYou write briefly & to the point.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I buy these?
ReplyDeleteWhen I found them in April they were in a dusty forgotten corner of Crossword. I was already a bit late.
ReplyDeleteMost stuff, like the diaries, bags are available on flipkart, at discounted prices.
