A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Ruth Emmie Lang:

Do you prefer books without or with illustrations? Do you think, that without the drawings, you can imagine anyway you want? In your own wonderful mind? Or do you think that the drawings make the story come to life--or do you think both make a good book?

Ruth Emmie Lang I think it depends on the intended audience (obviously, kids books tend to have more drawings), but I personally like books that have a little art in them, especially at the head of a chapter or another natural break in the story. If it feels right to you, go for it!
