When you are looking for art for your blog, look to collect book covers that are relevant to the things you are writing. Cover art for books can be wonderful, and showing good taste not only in the works that you can cite but also the edition or version which appeals to you can be a nice touch.
Make sure that you link to the book in question in such a way that you can get your hands on a copy quickly if you need to refer to it - that might be a Google Books search, an Amazon link, some online digital repository or your local library, depending on which of them is best suited for rapid fulfillment of a portion that's relevant.
