As someone else already mentioned this is "The Body in the Library" renamed to "Death of a Dancer" which makes sense as an alternate title considering the victim(s). That is an amazing cover.

Captured in bright indoor lighting before a hessian pin board, a Great Horned Owl with wide-eyes and wet-plumage is cloaked in a white cloth. Spiked feathers radiate from his head in all directions, like a hairy durian, accentuating his look of shock and indignation. We may have found the true paragon of Owls in Towels.

It's early in my part of the world, pre-coffee and still dark. It took me a minute.

At the end of the day, don't we all just want to read books and eat pastries?

Does anyone else, in response to their pet giving a random whimper, meow, or bark, lovingly respond “I know” when in fact, you actually…don’t know?

Painting, Love's Messenger, 1885. Shows a woman releasing a white dove with a letter tied to its leg which she is holding, it is feeding from her hand, she wears a green and red gown. In the background there’s a window with river and trees in distance.

‘Love loves to love love.’ ~
James Joyce, Ulysses.

This #BookWormSat is Valentine’s Day so we will welcome all aspects of love in literature for the day. Bring us romance or the unrequited, bring us star-crossed lovers or your favourite anti-Valentine. ♥️

This weekend's #ShakespeareSunday theme: CHOCOLATE & MUSIC!

Illustration of a tea party picnic; an owl, hedgehog, mouse, rabbit and squirrel are sat on toadstools around a stump table covered with cloth and tea cups and plates, the squirrel is pouring from a teapot, the rabbit is drinking tea, a tortoise is stood on the grass, a butterfly can be seen above them, trees behind them, blue cloudy sky in distance.

Looking forward to Spring…
🖼️ Squirrel’s Tea Party, M Morris, 1923.

Theme: Love ❤️

Screenshot from the 1995 film adaptation of "Sense and Sensibility" featuring Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon and Kate Winslet as Marianne Dashwood. It is captioned: "Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved."

“Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;"

Sonnet 116
