It’s cold and dark outside, Blogsprites – but you’ll find a warm welcome in The Arcade Of Arts & Arcana Library throughout January and February!
We’re opening 2013 with books, books and more books – a few reviews, some old favourites and new curios, art and graphic novels – film, tarot and even the odd cute animal gif might sneak their way in too
Now, where shall we do our reading?






















That first picture is sexy
I love all of this pictures….it makes me want to snuggle up witht he shades drawn in my loveseat and read from dawn till dusk with just a small candle to light my page …:) Thanks for the great pics…
A man after my own heart, Philip x
What brilliant pictures! Love them!
Thanks Jude. I can’t decide where I would like to relax the most
last one, plain and simple
I’ll pull-up my own old red leather Queen Anne chair and see you there.
Now, shhhhhh… I’m reading
I love the first image, Lily. But the fourth brings to mind… The Cemetery of Forgotten Books. Are you familiar?
No, it sounds intriguing, do tell – I sense I’m about to find something new for my “must read” list
xx
You are… ‘The Shadow of the Wind’ by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
I’ve heard good things about this author. I think it might have to go to the top of the list, I’m looking for a new indulgent/leisure read!
Off to the library tomorrow, wish me luck, Ted x
You won’t be putting it down anytime soon… good luck, Lily!
Acquired from the library today, Ted
Now to find the time to read it!
I’m hoping for snow this weekend, that will give me the excuse I need to stay indoors with a good book x
Fab! Let me know what you think.
Love the photos! Makes me want to get a cup of hot chocolate and curl up with a fairy tale. Thanks for the inspiration!
It’s the only past-time for this time of year
I like to make plenty of strong coffee otherwise I get too comfy and nod off! xx
Awesome post Lily. I love libraries.
I can only visit if I know I’ve got at least half a day to spare. I promise myself I’ll just pop a book back in and I get… distracted… xx
Love all the library pictures, makes me want to spend the day inside reading…which I think I might.
This time of year it’s definitely the best option
The gritters are out!
Bliss.
Oh yes
Awesome post!!! Loved this!

awesome! i agree with another person on the fourth image. i know i’ve saw a movie that had something very,very similar in it. as soon as i saw it i thought of the movie. i’m not sure if i’ve heard of the library cemetary title or not though. thanks for the visit and the follow!
glad to have found you!
Hi Morrighan, good to meet you x If you remember the name of that movie let me know! I love the library in Disney’s Beauty And The Beast, the one in Seven, Hogwarts… too many!
I’m part-way through reading The Shadow Of The Window, which features The Cemetery Of Forgotten Books. I can really recommend it x
