hunger games handbag1 Chic litI have a serious Etsy addiction, and an incredible shop I just discovered is not helping.

Spoonful of Chocolate sells recycled book purses and e-reader covers; now I am lusting over a Hunger Games handbag made from an actual copy of The Hunger Games. (They have other chapter book and YA selections, too.) My favorite, though, might be the ornate Pride and Prejudice bag complete with ladylike “pearl” handle.

The only downside is the handbags aren’t big enough to carry a book with you—not ideal for the daily grind. But how geek chic to carry one to an award ceremony or Kidlit Drink Night!

    As usual, Heidi and the judges are crazy–Tim Gunn would totally have picked the Sense and Sensibility handbag.
