– Ian McEwan, Atonement
‘Follow me,’ he said. ‘Come into the library with me.’
He took her hand and led her on, into the secluded room at the back of the house. He took her away from the others, away from the crowds and their questioning eyes.
The library was bright and warm. It smelled dusty and vaguely of a long burnt-out wood fire whose ashes were still in the hearth. As he closed the heavy door, it abruptly cut off the noise that they had left behind, emphasising their privacy and solitude.
She had always known that libraries were magical places. They were doorways to worlds that only existed in her imagination. They allowed her to lose herself in fantasy, to escape from reality, to experience another life in another place.

Note to self – build a library.
Oh, this is brilliant! I’m terribly envious of that wall of books! I love your pose and the story you lead up with. Gorgeous!!
Beautiful photos! I wrote a post about a library hotel this week and linked to your Guy Bourdain post…may need to link to this one too! And why do I always zoom in to look at the books on the shelf when people post photos with books in?’ X
Thank you! I was actually thinking of your post and the stories that could take place in a library when I took these. Xxx
🙂 fine figure of a woman!
You have a beautiful body. Stunning photos….love both of them!!!!
Books get me, and a beautiful body is an amazing thing to see with books. Well done!
My word, those are stunning pictures. Something very special about the juxtaposition of a staid library and your naked beauty. And your words – ” And she knew that she would do whatever he asked…” – very sexy indeed.

The quality of light you have created here reminds me of early color photography. My first thought was that perhaps this was the lost snapshots of Henry Miller’s lover. Gorgeous!
Lovely photos 🙂
Slightly worrying that I had to keep checking the books though :/
Oh my god this is beautiful. I love love love libraries and LOVE books and I love the naked female form. Combine all that into one and it’s just brilliant. Love this!

Two wonderful things put together! A beautiful woman and lots of books! You would be a terrible distraction while reading, I must say.
That moment when you’re perusing the titles on the shelf instead of the naked lady. XD
Libraries are one of my favorite places and I loved that book. This is beautiful!
This is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Books are just wonderful things…. and when combined with a beautiful naked woman, well they only get better

When bookshelves are in a photograph I always have to try to read the spines.
You make a delightful challenge, standing in front like that 🙂

I have always had sexy fantasies about the right sort of library. You look so stunning – the embodiment of all the possibilities of a confident sexual woman.
Libraries are magical places, indeed.
Hope you have seen my small ode on the pingback. I can not just tell you how deeply impressed I am from this image. Truly inspiring.
A stunningly beautiful picture
