Book Love

Hello Friends,
Happy Friday! May your weekend enjoy some quality writing and/or reading.
"The disorder in Yashar’s apartment was that comfortable littering and stacking that only another writer can recognize as order - the considered scatter of papers and books a writer builds around himself until it acquires the cozy solidity of a nest."
Paul Theroux, The Great Railway Bazaar
But on the days writing feels more like hell (revisions, anyone? anyone?)?...
And get your fun on!
Know this: I love you.
I love you for being my friend, for loving words and creating worlds and for understanding why I love words and creating worlds.
Thanks for being in THIS world. *hugs*
Love,
Lola

About Me
- Lola Sharp
- My name is Lola. (I'm not a showgirl) Yes, L-O-L-A Lola. It's the least of my worries. Let's move on, shall we? This blog is mostly about my misadventures on the journey to publication and beyond. My passion for lush prose, quirky characters, art, music, literature, performing arts and anything creative will be a major theme here. This journey of mine will not always be pretty. Much like rubbernecking a train wreck, I know sometimes you just can't help but look at the carnage that is often my life. So strap on your neck brace, helmet and 5-point harness and come along for the ride! Licentia poetica.

I am laughing so hard over Poe dancing! Ah...off to make some Extremely Poor Choices! Woot!

Love, love, love this! Thanks Lola :)
I sure hope Heaven is exactly like that!
I'm ROFL at the Poe dancing. OMG!
I hate my job. I almost didn't have time to make it here today. But now that I did:
o(Oo0)o <- that's a panda, or a monkey
*huggles and shizz*
That's great! I love it :D
Thanks for the fun pics! And have a great quality weekend yourself. :)
Haha, this post made me so happy! I want all of those libraries--definitely my idea of heaven! And I need that Keep Calm poster in my life. :)
It sounds like heaven to me. :) Great pictures!
Have a wonderful weekend!
(Typo above. :P)
Mwah! Have a great weekend, Lols!
Off to troll the internet for more pics of awesome libraries/offices for my pinterest. ;)
*hugs back!* You're the best hon. I love those pictures of the bookshelves, they're so inspiring! Makes me want a cup of tea and a notebook. :)
Hmmm...methinks I need a better writing nest. I guess I better add a trip to Nests-R-Us to the weekend agenda. :D
...and I had no idea Poe could even dance!? I wonder what he makes a night...
Look at all those books!
Why is the rum *always* gone? Such a great poster.
These are HILARIOUS!!!! Especially the poe dancing one
Awwwww to be surrounded by such a library with comfy chairs and suitable liquid refreshments is so my idea of heaven!! Yay!!!!
Have a great weekend too lovely Lola! Good luck with your edits!! Take care

Poe Dancing was my fav
I started reading DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS tonight. Um...I am afraid I might be a book hoarder. Your library picture makes me think my problem might not be that bad.
Poe Dancing just made my day!
Happy weekend!
Poe Dancing!!!
Oh darn. Why IS the rum gone?
How awesome...Poe dancing. Haha!
Hope you have a lovely weekend, my dear.
So fun - I love that first picture with the books and the window. Looks like my little piece of heaven for sure :)
I love all of those pics and sayings/quotes. :)
xoxo
What great pictures! I enjoyed this post a lot.
Aww, Lola, what a lovely post. I love you, too, and am glad you're in this world. My heaven isn't quite what you described but that certainly sounds like a place I'd like to visit at some point.
Hrmm. My animals are at my feet fighting over my attention and whining while I ignore them. Not sure I want that for eternity. ;-)
Oh my gosh! I totally feel like that revisions girl! lol! Too funny. You're awesome Lola!
Love the pictures, especially all those books. Wow. Great post, very entertaining.
I've nominated you for a Versatile Blogger award. If you'd like to pick it up, you can do over on my blog. Thank you, :)
LOL! Lola... the Keep Ca... "why is the rum gone" one KILLS. Good stuff. *snort* :D ((biggest hugs))
I want that office. It looks so comfortable.
Happy writing and have a great week.
You're just so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing all of those delicious pictures...drooling. Sarah xx
oh what i wouldn't give for a library of my own!
My dream house always has a fantastic Beauty and the Beast library :) I wish we could all have coffee there every morning together!
Love right back at you, buddy.

Yes, that is definitely my idea of heaven!
A heaven, it is! The Poe pic made me laugh out loud. I love the "It's been lovely..." pic!
AWWWWW Love all of this. *squeezes you*
I LOVE rooms filled with books.
Poe dancing? Too funny!
Have a great weekend Lola! I'm leaving an award for you on my blog :)
Swooning over those photos of libraries and reading nooks.
I love seeing what you're doing on Pinterest. When I'm not doing revisions, of course.
Lola, you are the best. Just when I need a boost of encouragement and inspiration, I visit you and my heart is lifted. Thanks for these lovely pictures. They remind me of why books and writing are so special.
Aah... those books look divine.
Good luck with the revisions! :-)
Still cracking up at Poe dancing. Ha!
This is my favorite Friday post today! ^_^ Love the Poe Dancing :D
Have a good weekend. I'm at the screaming point on the editing. :)
