About the Book:
Capturing the boundless creativity of the LEGO® brand, this colorful book recreates objects and scenes from everyday life using LEGO bricks. Transforming handfuls of bricks into minty toothpaste, eggs and bacon, lush houseplants, and more, LEGO Still Life reimagines the mundane and sparks playfulness in everyday life. Featuring unique, clever, and captivating original art, these deceptively simple but meticulously executed images are full of surprise and delight—and remind us that the world around us is, too.

• Recreates commonplace scenes from everyday life using LEGO® bricks
• Creatively reimagines the everyday objects and scenes
• Presented without text, these clever images speak for themselves, offering joy, surprise, and creativity on each spread

LEGO Still Life is the perfect gift for LEGO lovers and art lovers alike. Watch LEGO bricks transform into everyday objects, turning the humdrum into a delightful surprise.

Anyone who loves LEGO®, photography or just plain enjoys looking at the magnificent colours will surly love this book! I couldn't believe how life-like some of the LEGO® pieces were and how beautiful the photographs came out. This is definitely an art form.

This would make an amazing coffee table book. Who hasn't heard of LEGO®!? This would be cool to have in the house and would make a great, fun conversation starter. Both my boys (30 and 36 now) loved it as kids and would love this book as it brings back happy memories. I still have some of their LEGO® and DUPLO® from when they were babes. I would recommend this to any and all age groups.

My favourite photos are of the make-up, the bouquet of flowers and the painting pallet.


My only niggle is about the ARC copy...it has a watermark on EVERY SINGLE PHOTO and it made it hard to enjoy them as much as I could have.

Thank you NetGalley, Chronicle Books, Michelle Clair and Lydia Ortiz for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
