A guide to letter writing...
Think about why you are writing the letter and what you want to include.
Select some nice stationary.
Start with a polite greeting!
Ask them how they are.
Write about what's happening and your thoughts.
Include something sweet like a sketch, poem or dried flower.
Letter writing can be a nice release even if you don't send it <3

saturday, 31/08/2019 so The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt is one of the best things that happened to me in the world of literature in quite a while. it managed to bring back this genuine excitement of reading, of not being able to stop, of missing the right station in the metro because I was so absorbed by the book that couldn’t see anything around me. truly magical

So you want to read something like Jane Austen?
I see lots of posts where people answer this question with recommendations for classic historical romance authors like Georgette Heyer or more modern bodice-rippers like Julia Quinn or Tessa Dare. But to me that’s never quite the appropriate answer. Sure, if what you want is romance with country dancing and breeches, that’s fine, but surely if you want to read more things similar to Jane Austen, the best way to do that is to delve into her lesser known contemporaries. People Austen admired and people who admired her. People writing on similar themes and using similar language. 
So this is my list of 10 novels from the 18th and early 19th century that you might like to try if you’ve read Austen and want to branch out more. These are just personal recommendations and based off what I’ve read; I’m very happy to hear other suggestions!
Worth noting as well that all of these are available online or free for kindle download. :)
Keep reading

You are allowed
nay, encouraged to…
buy books you’ll never read
abandon books halfway through
read your favorites over and over again
read ‘easy’ books
read books you don’t totally understand
just look at the pictures
start in the middle
take notes
break spines
read the book after you saw the movie
skip the boring parts
keep books out of sentiment
bring a book everywhere
read comics
return books to the library unread
The point, my dear reader, is joy.

Finally came upon a definition for a Commonplace Book that makes sense- it’s like a paper version of Tumblr. Maybe that’ll help someone who’s been puzzling over one.

Lately, I have been watching a lot of Booktube and Dark Academia-related videos and the idea of a Commonplace Book came back to me. Basically, a Commonplace Book is a notebook or anything that you can use to keep ideas and quotes from various sources that you've encountered. It's a good way of storing stuff that you like from books, movies, shows and even everyday conversations. It's definitely a good resource for people who create and/or just want to keep a record of ideas that you want to get back to someday. And so here I have set up mine using a pocket-sized RuseCraft traveler's notebook, of course with the accompanying washi tape, post its and page flags. It's a start and I don't know how long I can keep this system up but hopefully it helps with keeping me inspired.

this is the level of excitement I’m trying to bring to all of my research if you are interested in medieval manuscripts and haven’t read any of Christopher de Hamel’s books you need to!!! Reading them has the vibe of this video just gushing over manuscripts
