Blogspiration (1)

15 comments
blogspirationBlogspiration is a Brand Spankin' New weekly meme hosted by both GrowingUp YA and Saz101. The meme was created to help spark inspiration among bloggers, readers and writers alike. An inspirational quote/picture/video is posted weekly, on the day of the author's choosing, so that it may inspire creativity, conversation and just a little SOMETHING.

So for my first post, I'm sharing this:

I think it's a fantastic carving! But it also shows that books and reading can take us away to other places! I think it's brilliant!

I'd love to see your own Blogspiration posts, so please feel free to link to them in the comments if you wish.

    I would apologise for getting you addicted to Pinterest... But really it's just so much fun!

    Those are incredible... I agree with you, reading takes us to a whole different world!

    Thanks for stopping by! :)

    I've seen these images, and other book art, on Pinterest. They're so stunning - absolutely gorgeous, really - but I have such mixed emotions when I look at them. My mind screams, "But now you can't READ THE BOOK!" at the same time the appreciate-the-art neurons are firing. It definitely makes you think!

      I know, just gorgeous! Ahh, but in this case, it's a carving, not a real book, so it's fine :) I found it on Pinterest, I love it!
      I'll check out your blogspiration post now :)
