Bookish smiles

I collect these silly bookish bits from all over the place, mainly Pinterest, and as the news is so unendingly grim at the moment I thought I'd share a few to lift the gloom, even it's only a little bit.


My mantra:






Who doesn't love a bit of Harrison Ford?



Still reading a lot of Vintage Crime and this really evokes the age for me:


A cool book cover for those of us finding this heat a bit too much:


A sentiment I think most would agree with at the moment:

The news is grim. I stopped reading Richard Flanagan's book because I don't want to read about WWI prisoners of war right now. Will finish it later.Enjoyed the little posters.

Pam: Everything is just so awful at the moment and no, I wouldn't want to read about WW1 pows right now either. Glad you enjoyed the posters.

Pat: Yup, some of them are all too true but I'd better not say which. LOL!!

Oh, Pam, I just love each and every one of these. Makes me feel so much better, too; especially the one about "cleaning house" (NOT).

Reading is so much better for one's mental health than cleaning. What use is it? Things only get messy/dirty again.

Judith: They're fun aren't they... glad I'm not the only one who'd rather read a book than clean the house. LOL. Well, precisely... it does just get messy again as soon as you've finished. I remember seeing a quote somewhere that said something like, 'When you're dead people won't remember you for your clean house.' How true.

Love them :0)
you made me smile!

Cath said...

Glad you enjoyed them, Val!

Love the 'I almost started cleaning my house' poster. I would do so much more cleaning/ironing if I wasn't a reader.

Nicola: Yes... me too!

Penny & Nan: Glad you enjoyed a little bit of silliness. :-)
