"I believe that 'finding the book you're looking for' is an overrated notion. Far better to explore, and let the book you need be the one which finds you."

  1. The picture is lovely. The quote definitely 'spoke' to me and I totally agree with the thought there. I have had certain books that 'found' me at just the right time. I love it when that happens.

  2. I really like that quote. I think sometimes that the perfect book does find you just when you need it most - even if you hadn't even realized that it existed.

  6. I fully agree with that quote. The books that find me are usually the best ones.

  7. I think the quote is spot-on. I even wonder if the best books are sent by some kind of force we can't comprehend. I know that sounds weird. :-)

  10. I need to explore more. I always get the book I'm looking for instead of vice versa ...

  11. I love the artwork! I love it when a book finds me. It's even more special when it's a book I didn't know I was looking for.
