10 Day Photo Challenge Day 2 – Book

Hello my people, I am a bringer of good news. You can expect a lot of posts from me soon! Firstly, we have a school Independent Learning Projecty-thing (don't know yet what we're learning independently about, but it's sure to be fun) all this week, and that means no lessons, and Dramatis Holmes (or Sherlock Persona) deduces that no lessons obviously means no homework! And that means more posts! Yay! Sorry, reckless and unnecessary exaggeration, because what's even greater is that next week is half term! Eleven (well, seven, as the first four are my Scout camp so I obviously won't post) days of posting, cool stuff I can post about and a host of other totally random stuff! Woohoo!!!!

OK, enough gushing, I'll get to the point. This is my second Photo Challenge picy-pu (definition: an affectionate abbreviation of picture):

A Literary Shadow Cast Over My Life


You know how some bookwormey bloggers (and Jessie Cave in her Bookworm United show, now I think about it) say that certain books have cast a shadow of obsession over their lives? I used to have that over The Hunger Games, and others before it. Well, this is the literal interpretation of the phrase.

When I heard the Book theme, I automatically thought of photographing something that wasn't a conventional, literary book, something like a school textbook or maybe even a notebook. So I was looking at the untidy shelf that is my notebook collection, and I saw the bookend that holds them up. And I thought its shadow would look epic on a lighter coloured floor, like my bedroom floor, and the rest was history. I think the design of this is very cute, the stacked-up letters are almost like a stack of books, and I love its simplicity: it doesn't have a fancy font or annoying patterns everywhere, it just describes the thing it supports. It's a million times better than the bookend I made in DT earlier this year; that was just a random factory next to a tree (don't even ask what I was thinking there).

Oh, and the two Os kind of do look like my lucky number, 8 :D.
