February's Bookish Art...

"Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!

  1. I like this, Lark! I think I might have seen the verse with another line added (probably not from the author) - something like 'now I just have to read them!'. Ha!

    1. The picture would lose something without all those stacks and stacks of books everywhere. ;D

  8. Both the art and the quote are great. And I'm afraid the quote is way true of me, too...

  9. I remember that poem from one of my sons' children's books and it was great then, still great today where my TBR pile is even higher than then - and the pile of those that I read even bigger.
    The painting goes really well with it, as well. Thanks for making my day.

  11. Lovely painting and poem combo! I was more intrigued by the lamp shade, though; it seems not a perfect lamp to read under. :))
