Haunting Olivia

I've been joining in on the book club this summer with Sarah, Beca and Carla. This month was Beca's pick, and she went with "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves" by Karen Russel. There's a story in it called "Haunting Olivia," where a couple of boys go looking for their sister's ghost underwater with a set of magical goggles. Through the goggles they can see ghosts, which glow. Shortly after reading the story I came upon this piece of art on Etsy and couldn't believe it - it totally looked like it belonged with the story! I love it, I think it's beautiful.


This piece is from the holli shop on Etsy.

Fables

I was getting lost in an image search for Fables while looking for something for my birthday post and thought I'd do a mini post to share a few with you. Not only does Fables have a great story which draws you in and won't let you go, but it also has some AMAZING art. I take a super long time to get through the books because when I come across images by James Jean (usually, sometimes it's something by someone else) I just stop and stare and get lost for a bit.


Isn't it beautiful? I wish there were posters of Fables art, I would cover my walls. This last one is the cover I saw in the SFU bookstore which immediatly drew me in. I didn't know anything but that the cover was gorgeous, there was a kiss and wolves and I had to have it! It just makes me swoon.


After reading this one I went back and started at the beginning. Now I have volume 14, Witches, just waiting for me to dive in and lose myself for awhile! I highly recommend this series if you like fairy tales, romance, war, art or good things.
