“I have fallen in love a thousand times in my lifetime.
All which have been with books…”

—W. H. Auden (1907-1973)

it’s melo dramatico and a little rococco

Ah books, it takes a helluva lot to really impress me in a book, and much more than that to make it as a keeper; what astonishes me is how many books have made it to my permanent collection anyway. What I’m going to ask Santa for is a book big enough for me to lie down on it.
Heheh – I know exactly what you mean, on both counts. If I had my druthers, I would have a room built just like this. lol

Wonderful work … Such a creative mind you have…
Chuck..
Thank you so much Chuck. :D This is something straight out of my heart… I’m so glad you like it. :)

this is a big favorite of mine.
very imaginative.
it has almost a vampiric touch to it
Thank you so much ToxicHearts!! I was really hoping to capture that mood of really disappearing into a book, and feeling the ambience of it all around. The rich confines of a dark, candlelit library… oh yes, a touch of vamp indeed! :D
– Aimee Stewart

I have a problem with the word “soul” but it’s all right…
No worries. :)
