Okay, so I've never posted here before--or anywhere, actually, with my icons, but I hope y'all will like them well enough... A few of the text icons are not directly book related, but are such awesome quotes that I decided to include them anyway.

I'd love to hear what you think, so please comment! (If you don't, I completely understand--I'm a terrible lurker myself.)
Oh, and totally feel free to steal any of them if so desired. Credit would be cool, but I really don't care that much. :D

I come bearing icons!

So a book recently came out about shopping carts in the wild (and won an award for having a strange title). My thoughts couldn't help but turn to Reaper Man, so I have three icons based on that, as well as a Hitchhiker's guide icon and one based on

mctabby's Summary Executions.

ICON POST: A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY (10 ICONS)

Today, July 8, I present ten icons from my favorite book ever, John Irving's A Prayer For Owen Meany. Six are quotes, three are pictures-only, one is just the book title. Spoiler-free in the sense that the only icon with a spoiler isn't a spoiler until you've finished the book and already know what it means anyway.

Want, comment, credit, take.
