I hate when people say that the only thing to get out of literature is romance and sex. Like people who think that haven’t experienced literature enough. There are so many important things that literature can do, and boiling it all down to romance and sex just diminishes the other work that it does.

More tiny painting commissions of animals being studious! All are 2x3 to 3x3 inches in size, ink and watercolor. I love painting them! The mouse and fox are both available as prints and other merch in my Redbubble shop! Link in my tumblr bio!

Whether I am incredibly excited with my new bookshelf. Made from massive oak. With loads of space for extra books. Because it can carry like a gazillion kgs.
UHH YESSSSS!!! 🎉🎉🎉

So, this time last year I was thinking about what I wanted to change in 2023.
The one thing I settled on was that I wanted to read more. I’ve always enjoyed reading but have had less time in recent years to do so, and even when I regained a bit more time to myself I was out of the habit of reaching for a book.
So I started off the year mostly listening to audio books when driving or doing things around the house and it rekindled my love of stories. I then started on e-books and would find myself reaching for my kindle or iPad during down time rather than turning on the TV.
In July I followed a random link on social media and suddenly I found myself on AO3 for the first time. I don’t even remember how it came about but suddenly I was reading my very first fan fic (‘The Promised Land’ by @gunstreet ) and learning that there was something called ‘slash fiction’ and a Star Trek sub-fandom based around the ‘Spirk’ relationship.
I’ve been a life long Trekkie, but discovering Spirk and fan fiction was like a missing piece clicking into place. Suddenly I was absolutely devouring stories, delighting in a whole new realm of Star Trek content.
Well…it changed EVERYTHING!
I did a massive TOS rewatch and for the first time ever I really, thoroughly enjoyed it, because it finally made SENSE when viewed through the lens of Spirk. I was raised in the era of TNG so I’ve never been massively fussed on TOS before. Now though I absolutely adore our boys and got so much more out of the episodes.
From there I kept exploring AO3 and finally found my way on to Tumblr and discovered this amazing community of likeminded individuals. Everyone has been so welcoming, supportive and kind, it’s been really lovely to start getting to know some of you.
As we close out 2023, the final count is as follows. I’ve read 65 novels, 88 novellas and 139 short stories. (28 of the novels were audio or e-books and everything else has been fan fiction I’ve read since July)
So I met my original goal of reading more, but as a wonderful bonus I found a new passion, a new community, discovered new talents (I’ve been loving creating my art) and have made some new friends.
Thank you so much to all of you for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve been liking and reblogging, commenting or chatting with me in DMs, I really appreciate you.
And a special thanks to all the lovely writers and artists creating ever more Spirk fan fics and art for me to enjoy.
Sending you all massive hugs and very best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2024. Xx

Literally could get four books for less than the price of one on Amazon.
But since I'm broke, I love you Oceanofpdf even more <3
(I just downloaded all four of those books for free instead!! :D)

I really need to know, how many people know Brandon Sanderson on tumblr, how many are avid readers, and how many like me who base my life philosophy on them. Also I’m tagging a lot of tags that are in the genre but not Brandon’s books, because I want to reach more people.

Books show us a world we don't know, and at the same time a world we know too well but we don't want to accept it
Isn't that what literature is all about?
On showing ourselves through someone else's eyes, to face our own fears
And giving us faith in our dreams
Books are life
Literature fills the soul
My heart is a library of memories
