The True Confessions of a Book Addiction

We’re choosing a random winner in three days, so reblog now! 

So… Tumblr is dinging me for not adhering to their Community Guidelines for giveaways. Essentially, I’m supposed to keep giveaways to in-country only. WHY? I’ve given away over 750 books, and those have gone to 17 different countries so far. What’s the purpose of keeping giveaway contests limited (in my case) to US residents only??? Tumblr deleted the original giveaway post. The one I’m reblogging here is one of my own reblogs. I’m going to keep going with this (sorry for the ugly “This content has been removed” second image) as long as I can.  Fucking Tumblr. I’m doing something here to actually promote activity at this dying platform, and this is what we all get for it. *smh*

waiting in deep suspense

I am also very curious about this secret

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

I wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy.
