 Maybe a better title would be dark reading...

I don't know what 13 books have to do with being lucky but its all I could think of that wouldn't look to odd.

I had some trouble with my fill light so the sides of the books are completely missing from the shot. I thought that I would enter this photo, even though I didn't get what I was looking for just to get in the habit of meeting the deadline.

Aside from the hotspot from the flash, I like this composition! A little more light and detail in the books would've been nice since books always have such lovely character in the covers and pages.
