you are never really alone

when you have books...
some older pictures of me
happy with my books...

"There's more to life than books, you know. But not much more."
& "The goodness of privacy in a warm room with books."
— Morrissey #Morrissey

2006, cottage studio in Normal Heights, San Diego, this place was surrounded by skunks, possums and homeless cats, I adopted two cats for myself and found home for another 3.

2008? same studio Normal Heights, San Diego. I was fit, so much yoga!

December 2014, at the wonderful Skylight Books, in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. www.skylightbooks.com

~Flavia de Luce, Dogger, "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie"



Saturday morning glory
phone ringers off
3 cats fast asleep
neighbors quiet


Frau Kitty through plants
Frau Kitty is the sweetness at the bottom of my pie life!



Lucky woke up for the picture, went back to sleep


Herr Gatito mellow, enchanting when he's asleep on my closet for once
he's not allowed there but since Luck's visit he's been a bit 'edgy'
to put it nicely, so to give him (and me) some peace

nothing like the beauty of the silence to read!

dreaming books? yes!

and his book
The City of Dreaming Books

so if you are one
and if you love books
here is a lovely recommendation
by miss d

i am tired
and a little more sick today
and not very animated
lugubrious light thru the late window
and an OFF TV claiming for me...
yet i cannot stop turning pages
seems that
books about books
are just delicious!
distilling passion for literature
in a funny and very clever way
i would say almost like adult-fantasy
let your soul get lost on the pages of Bookholm
and other wonderful realms
it is like being a kid again...
and the illustrations are great
do not miss it!
i go back to mine now...
