  1. I love "perilous adventures" in books that I would never contemplate in real life!

    1. Me, too! It's part of the joy of reading...going places I'd never go in real life.

    1. She does look like she's up to something, doesn't she? Makes me wonder what she's been reading!

  3. She looks like she's just emerged from a long read and is full of ideas! Books contain the best adventures sometimes, don't they?

  4. This is one of the best pairings of painting and quote you have come up with yet. I hope she is up to something spectacular!
