Besides posing an existential threat to our favorite nonprofit bookmobile, Antelope Lending Library (which is probably at the top of the list of reasons library haters are attacking bookmobiles)....

The library haters squatting in the Iowa Statehouse are at it again.

Christos Achilleos
This image is a piece titled "Still Life" by the fantasy artist Christos Achilleos. It was featured as card number 56 in a series of fantasy art trading cards produced by FPG in 1992. The artwork depicts a stylized female torso with a large red rose and foliage for hair, set against a dark background with a reflection in a pool of water. Achilleos is known for his detailed fantasy illustrations, frequently featuring strong female characters in surreal or mythological settings.

My love poem to books.📚
January 11, 2026 The Bliss of Books I opened you up before I was three. Never again would you let me free. I made friends with a fox and a hound. Peter Rabbit and I went running around. I had adventures with The Famous Five. Baloo taught me the necessities of life. I fell down the rabbit hole and met a cat. And I helped Matilda glue her father's hat. Later on, I found Adrian's secret diary. Sherlock Holmes made me very wary. I also visited worlds too far to mention. I travelled to sites in another dimension. The road to bliss is paved with books. All kept in their own crannies and nooks. Fiction, non-fiction, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, fairy tales, and mystery. They make me laugh, they make me cry. Books will wreck you in the blink of an eye. But every time an old story says goodbye, I come back for more and that's not a lie. ©Tania Carina Pires

Reader, I coloured it.
(Mostly, I think)
In a forest of moss covered rocks and fungi, the Queen of the forest sits dispassionately. On either side of her, her handmaidens weep. Pencil, watercolour wash, chalk and White paint on toned paper. Colour applied.

Whimsey here, that is not afraid of the dark, and an illustrator in love with books. I have some of the best publishers and authors in the world. I'd love to work with you in 2026.

ruined temples and broken shrines under a red moon. a vast figure of cruel aspect moves past between the two. a renaissance female presenting person holds a tripartite moon mask to her features. an apricot orchard heavy with fruit in autumn. A path leads to a subtly disturbing shed which emits green smoke. A Victorian greenhouse glows turquoise at the end of a flower lined path. cherry blossoms on the branch in the foreground.

Just going to point out here that 40 years ago, Iowa was first in the nation for education.

The number of Iowans who use our public library system is still high:

"In FY24, Iowa public library cardholders totaled 1,749,934. Iowa is ranked 8th in the nation per capita for registered borrowers"

A Bouquet of Dahlias “You have her number?” Kim asked. “She’s a business colleague. Of course I have her number.” Rose sorted through her contact list. “What’s she saved as?” Kim asked, rushing over. “Nevermind what she’s listed as.” Dahlia said. Kim peered at Dahlia's phone. “You’ve saved her as: ‘Don’t even think about it!!!. Oh my god, Bestie! You are so done. You need to dump Chet before you cheat on him.” She choked up on the shinai like it was a bat, and then turned and swung the shinai in a horizontal arc at Rose. Immediately, Rose lunged forward, closing the distance and getting too close for the shinai to hit her. Rose wrapped her left arm around Dahlias arms. The larger woman stepped and turned and Dahlia felt her feet leave the ground. Her legs pinwheeled over Rose and she landed gently on the mats with Rose on top of her. She stared up at Rose, gasping for breath. “Oh wow.” She managed. Rose grinned a crooked grin down at Dahlia and Dahlia felt herself going red again, held in Rose’s arms. “I think she liked it.” Dahlia heard Kim say. “You don’t say?” Julia giggled in response. After a long moment, Jane added, “Was there more to the lesson, Rose?” “None of my crushes in high school returned the affection. So no photographs. High school is lonely when you’re trans.” “If only they could see you now. They’d be so jealous of me.” Dahlia smiled. “We aren’t dating.” Rose grinned. “They’d be jealous that I got to be this close to you.” Dahlia leaned in and nuzzled against Rose’s shoulder. “What was that about being professional?” Rose asked? “Says the woman who literally swept me off my feet.” Dahlia giggled. “That was a self-defense demonstration.” “It felt like more.” Dahlia said.

a black and rust Doberman wearing a blue nylon harness lies down facing the camera, with a hardcover of The Drowned Heir by Jennifer R. Donohue resting on his front paws. He looks at the viewer intently, his left ear cocked a little bit.
