Plotted: A Literary Atlas | 
so-soI should have loved this book, and I had high hopes based on my previous experience with Cinemaps by the same artist/author. This one was disappointing because the books featured in the illustrations were overwhelmingly obscure. Even with an English degree, I found myself skipping about half of the books, since there were so many I hadn‘t even heard of and had no context for. Highlights were the “maps” of Pride & Prejudice and A Wrinkle in Time.
A fun list. The Bill Bailey cameos both made me laugh & add Complicity to my TBR:

pickA detailed, colorful atlas for booknerds who also miss Family Circus. 19 classic works are covered here in varying illustration styles. Reading this will make you glad to revisit the stories you know and want to read the ones you haven‘t yet.
Book 4 of the #readathon #deweyapril
I will be spending quite a bit of time looking at all of the details.
I just picked up my framed Book Map! A 💯#blameitonlitsy purchase. I forget who initially posted this, but thank you! This is easily my favorite book related art I own.
This is the coolest book-about-books I have seen in a long time. The authors mapped 19 books/poems/plays, everything from Waiting for Godot to Huck Finn. My fave is A Christmas Carol; there are intricate drawings of London, plotting where Scrooge went with the ghosts. Love this!! #booksaboutbooks
Litsy, I know I haven‘t been around much lately (I‘ve missed you all sooo much!), & I‘m sorry, but I could use some bookish Christmas help!
One of my close friends is a children‘s librarian & we always exchange books for Christmas. Since she reads so much kid & YA for work, I get her “adult” books. I‘m out of ideas this year! I‘m getting her the tagged book, but am drawing a blank otherwise.
She likes Elena Ferrante, the Sandman series by👇🏽
I'm very late to the #FiveStarPredictions party since I barely looked at my phone in the last week, but thanks to @tpixie for tagging me! It was so hard to narrow down, but these are the books I find myself anticipating the most.
I'm going to get creative here (since I like using the maps from this book): In Around the World in 80 Days it takes #oneweek to get from London to Suez, Egypt, and #oneweek to get from San Francisco to New York. #90sinJuly
Moby Dick is a #revenge tale, and here is a rendering of the Pequod from the book Plotted. #JubilantJuly
This map is from the book Plotted, and represents the #roadtrip in Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard To Find." #sizzlinsummerbooks

And finally there's this, and I freely admit I squealed like a small child when I opened it. 😍😄Excellent sleuthing @RachelO 😁 Thank you! 😘
Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" graphic
This book is amazing. I love the graphics. This is for Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery."

Fair warning, Littens: Once you know about this book you are going to want to hold it in your hands. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Plotted: A Literary Atlas is a book of maps of books.
Pictured - Robinson Crusoe's island, the homes of Pride & Prejudice stratified by social standing and connected by relationship, Scrooge's time travels through London. #maps #LyricalApril
#day17 #lyricalapril #maps I received this lovely book as a gift.... it features essays along with beautiful and unique illustrated interpretations focused on locations from classic novels.... Pictured above - Around the World in 80 days, Pride and Prejudice, and A Christmas Carol....
This book is ALL maps! Subtitle: A Literary Atlas. Funnily drawn and with an accompanying essay for each entry: Melville, Dickens, Austin, L'Engle, etc. #mapsinbooks #somethingforsept #septphotochallange

I was walking by a shelf today and spotted this!
It's a literary atlas, and includes "A Wrinkle in Time" (pictured). Most of the literary maps are based on grown-up books, new and old, fiction and nonfiction.
