London Lit Love

I'm a big fan of cities doing fun things all around town.  A few years ago, Baltimore got in on the act with some super cute crab statues decorated by different organizations with different themes.  In the past year, Annapolis had some fun too with bird statues popping up all over the place.(I can't say why they picked birds though.  Crabs I get in Maryland, but birds?)

But leave it to London to knock everyone else out of the park.  They've chosen to decorate benches that look like open books with children's book characters. (They have other non-children's books too, but the kids lit's are just too adorable!)  How cute is that?  It's perfect for a city and country so ingrained with all things literature to celebrate the best in books.  I have to say, I knew there was a reason London has always had my heart.  (But really?  No Harry Potter?!)

My personal favorite
