January's Bookish Art...

 


"...what we read is what we are,
or what we are becoming."
--Lynne Sharon Schwartz, Ruined by Reading 



P.S. I'm still having trouble commenting on Wordpress blogs. So, if you haven't seen any comments from me yet this month and I normally do comment on all of your posts...check your spam box. I think that's where my comments have landed. Don't you just love technology gone wrong?

  4. I have to check my spam folder each day because there's always a handful of comments there.

    1. Me, too! And sometimes it's my own comments in my own spam folder. So dumb.

  5. I love the quote, as per usual :)

  6. So pretty and I agree with that quote! I hate it when technology goes wrong! We tried switching our blog over to Wordpress a long time ago but it was too difficult. I like the simplicity of Blogger even though it's a pain sometimes, too! :)

    1. I like the simplicity of Blogger, too. Though I sometimes curse it when it won't do what I want. ;D

  9. Such a true quote. I used to get shoved into Wordpress spam boxes on a regular basis, I'm not sure what changed but it doesn't seem to happen so much nowadays.

    1. I never know why I'm sometimes deemed spam, and sometimes not. But it's not great for my self-esteem. ;D

  10. Love the picture - her hair is so chic ( I say that because mine looks like that now that I got a hair cut :)) Also, love the quote! Wishing you a great week!

  11. Beautiful painting. Love that quote too. Have a great week!

  12. Great quote! I'm not so sure about the title of that book, though...

  13. Beautiful picture and beautiful quote. As always.
    And you are not alone, I have problems with WordPress, as well. They tell me I must be logged in but they also ask me whether I want to log out. Get your act together, blogsites.

    1. If only they wouldn't change so much all the time. As I mentioned in one of my monthly posts, there is a German word for this: Verschlimmbessern. Making something worse by wanting to improve it, (worsenbettering).

      Delete
    2. That's the best word ever! And so apt for what happens every time they update or try to 'improve' something. ;D

      Delete
    3. They should keep the old version for those who don't want any changes and then have us opt for a new one if we want to. But then most people wouldn't do that and they'd be out of a job.

  14. Lovely painting! The quote is kind of scary, actually, since I read a lot of dark, depressing books. Eek!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Lovely artwork and quote! I read a novel by this author many, many years ago -- I should check out more of her work!

  16. PS - I'm so glad you mentioned your comments going to spam! I rarely remember to check my spam folder... and just found a bunch of your comments there! Thanks so much for pointing that out -- now I'll go see what you said. (Thanks for commenting even when your comments disappear -- that sounds really frustrating)

    1. Thanks for rescuing me from the spam folder! :D

  17. Okay I'm glad you mentioned having trouble with wordpress! It's been driving me crazy. I love the art though I'm not sure about the quote. I read a lot of murder mysteries so I'm not sure I want to become any of that!

    1. lol. I never thought about that. I read a lot of murder mysteries, too. But maybe we're the people in them trying to find the truth and solve the crime! ;D
