27 Sep goth fiction bench {270/365}
I headed down to the basement tonight to grab some books from my bookshelf to read stand on.
what?
Anyways, when I got there, my eyes skimmed over some titles and then stopped at these and I smiled, because they remind me of my girlfriend, and favourite book blogger, Natasha …
She’s probably going to yell at me for this though.
First? I’m standing on books. OMG, bad.
(you know what? that was HARD! books are wobbly! who knew?)
Second? I threw out the covers. Blasphemy.
(whatever, they display nicely that way)
Third? (and probably the worst) The spines are cracked. aaaaahhh!!! The horror!
(In my defense, I’ve had these since I was around 17 years old, so there’s that. Young and foolish, running around cracking book spines. I is bad)
For sure she’s going to notice that I didn’t pay attention and stuck a book in there where it shouldn’t be.
heheheeee ….
Anyways …
I was in a funky mood so I played around with it (obviously) adding a few textures and what not. I like the 50’s old TV look of it. And maybe kind of a faux TTV?
And there you have it.
Happy *Bench Monday!

Posted at 21:24h, 27 SeptemberACK! EVIL! Mind you, if you’d have seen my original copies of VC’s books…you’d flip. 200 times worse, missing covers, yellow, torn..but in my defence, they were my older sisters!
I still can’t believe you have the originals!

Posted at 05:35h, 28 SeptemberAs usual, very creative and quirky. Love your choice of socks as well. I see you didn’t comment on those. It must be a generational thing cause I never read V.C. Andrews. Not too late to catch up though. Would women of a certain age enjoy his writing?

Her verdict? They didn’t age well. ha!
She didn’t enjoy it much, the second time around.
and I don’t think I would either.

Posted at 18:04h, 28 SeptemberI am just now immersed in a fantastic novel: Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. I was wondering if I would be able to find another novel to lose myself in after the Stieg Larsson “Girl with the Dragon Tatoo” trilogy but this works.
