March's Bookish Art...

 

Charles Edward Perugini -- Girl Reading

"Books are such an underrated essential. Every book is a key that unlocks another world, leads us down the path of a different life and offers the chance to explore an unexpected adventure. Every one is a gift of either knowledge, entertainment or pure escapism."
--Bella Osborne, The Library

  11. I like this part: "Every one is a gift of either knowledge, entertainment or pure escapism." I don't always read for escapism but I almost always want entertainment.
