“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” ~ Stephen King
I’m in trouble. I just got Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch from the library and now I am caught up in the story, so much so that I am up all night reading, unable to put it down once I allow myself to start reading. It’s an incredible book so far, anguishing and funny and all that you want from a book. It’s quite long too, so I am guessing I will be up several nights finishing it. It seems once I start, it’s hard to stop and only pure exhaustion breaks the spell.
I tried to convey that in this photo with a woman reading at a desk and the world of the novel blooming around her. My novel reader is wearing Kiddo Oh’s classically-cut dress and sitting at Tobias Convair’s desk set, both for this round of Shiny Shabby. I accessorized with Aleida Rhode’s cute, inexpensive flats for the Mix Event and AvaGardner Kungler’s exquisite bracelet for We <3 RP.
Lots of skin makers are making Omega compatible skins aimed at getting them on the Logo mesh head. Pixy Snook made this charming skin with appliers for what seemed dozens of bodies, but she clearly shaped the look around the Logo head with its luscious lips and bright eyes. Tabata Jewell’s back-knotted ponytail for Shiny Shabby is a lovely casual look for a book lover who wants to devote her time to the story, not messing with her hair.
