Ack I LOVE THESE BOOKS! Ransome does it again with another fun, lighthearted adventure about kids, families, birds, and boats. I've been meaning to read this next installment, but #MarchUnshelving inspired me to pick it up next. This is definitely one I am keeping, but happy to have another book read from my own shelves.

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this one as much since it isn't about the Swallows and Amazons, but I loved it SO much. Every one of these books has been a delight so far, and I'm collecting these specific editions - perfect hardcovers with amazing end-paper maps!!! 😍 4y
rockpools ❤️ ⛵️ ❤️ I was fully planning to reread all of these and unshelve them this year. But I wasn‘t quick enough, so I have to keep them for at least another 10 years in case my niece wants them now 🤣🤣 It‘s the only series of kids books I kept! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @RachelO - I'm not sure how I missed out on these when I was young, but I am thoroughly enjoying reading them for the first time as an adult! They are so funny and adorable! 4y

@LeahBergen I didn't buy anything myself at Leakey's, almost too much choice, would've needed an hour or so to properly look through and pick something. But I did find the pictured book for Mr Oryx and he bought it for himself.

I might be a grownup now, but I still have a whole shelf of my favourite children's books. So here's a #shelfie for the #childhoodread #riotgrams prompt featuring 3 of my 4 favourite series - the Swallows and Amazons books, Wells ballet books and in the background the Chalet School with a few single title favourites too.
