Sarah's posted the mega-long list of children's books she used in her talk at last weekend's Caption: loads of great-looking books for you to check out. Just browsing through those will keep you occupied for hours.
This post on Roald Dahl covers popped up in Paul K's shared GR items last week, and today I discovered that the rest of the blog has loads of great innovative illustration, too.
Also via Sarah, not exactly illustration, but it does come from illustrator and comics artist, Jamie Smart: Find Chaffy. They are so cute! I want one.

Yeah, it's a thing. I guess I'm moving towards just saying "peacay's feed" — (I don't mind Paul K, it is me, but I tend to think of myself almost everywhere online as peacay. You do as you wish though!) — and assume people mouseover the URL and know what it is.

Gah, nomenclature on the internet is so confusing. See, I'd rather be "Anna" than "mondo" (although obviously I will answer to both) and in fact would prefer to not have to use some form of surname at all, except that other people will insist on using one…. So now I use one that's semi-pseudonymous, J actually being my initial not my actual name…
I suppose "feed" is okay — does what it says on the tin!

I had this strange progression with my nick. I already was peacay online (on Mefi mostly) when BibliOdyssey began but it seemed important then (4yrs ago this week ackshully) to be a bit anon. because I thought if I went arse-over-tit and it was a big embarrassment I could just kill it and move on and noone would be the wiser.
A little while later I thought it was a good idea being peacay and not Paul because I didn't want people to think I was claiming artwork as my own (or a similar permutation of that thought).
Then, when the site got some notoriety and traffic started flowing, I was thinking: "shit, it's probably a good thing this is peacay's thingy and not Paul's otherwise 'I' might become an egomaniac".
Then people who were commenting around the traps mentioned that the site was run by a 'mysterious' fellow and I kinda liked that.
Now I'm led by tradition. peacay and Paul ARE in fact 2 separate identities. It's like peacay and BibliOdyssey, by virtue of the length of time, have editorial control over what appears on the site and the voice that's adopted and while it's obviously "me", I find myself often being directed by that force of longevity and history and tradition which can sometimes go against what "I" might think would be a good thing. In other words, my own personal tastes are second to what peacay and BibliOdyssey decides. It is as it appears: a leetle bit schizophrenic; but again, it's another late onset rationalisation for wanting to remain peacay now as opposed to Paul (and I like my own name well enough).
Bastards. They never let me post naked and I'm not allowed to add salt on my dinner neever.

I realised why I called it "Paul K's reader" though — it's how it actually comes up on Google Reader! "Items shared by Paul K" so maybe you need to change that to reflect that it's peacay instead. Hah!
Which works for me personally because I know way too many people called Paul as it is!

I think Paul K is on email. Reader (& flickr thanks to you) Is peacay. I think I'll leave email as is though.
And as I say, I don't care much either way. It's all in 'me head.
