Who couldn't use a book lift-me-up on Monday mornings? This meme will
consist of anything related to books that could also be considered
beautiful, art, or uplifting. It could include pictures, quotes, book
covers that caught your eye, products that celebrate books, beautiful
locations that promote books, or anything else pertaining to books that
brightens your day. We all see something different as beautiful which
will make this meme a real joy to peruse through as you and others in
the blogging community join in. Please link back to
A Library of our Own and leave a comment with the link to your post. Thank you and I can't wait to see all of your
Monday's Bookishly Beautiful posts!

this post on Danny Fein’s

Brain Pickings to my attention. These lithographs are beautiful and such a tribute to great literature classics. Take a look for yourself and please check the
Lithograph's collections page for more amazing examples and the option to buy the ones you like!
