November's bookish art...

Franz Xaver Winterhalter -- Countess Alexander Nikolaevitch Lamsdorff


"Books were her salvation. They were her lifeline;
the pages as essential to her as breathing."
--Simone St. James

  9. Pretty! If you look closely, she looks a little ticked that someone's interrupting her reading. I feel that since I completely identify with James' quote :)
