  7. Oh, that art is so gorgeous! I completely agree with that quote. I could totally go out to eat by myself as long as I have my kindle with me.

  11. I love the painting though between that hat and her posture she doesn't look the most comfortable! The quote is spot on and is one of my favorite things about being a reader!
