The Beauty of Literature

WWW.THEBEAUTYOFLITERATURE.COM This is my little Tumblr nook in which I share my (slightly obsessive) love for books. The Beauty of Literature is a secondary blog, so if I follow you, it's with Ricara.tumblr.com (most random collection of stuff on that blog btw!) Everything under the My Writing and My Reviews tag is written by me and cannot be copied without my permission. #customize-list{ float:left; margin-left:20px; list-style:none; } #gr_updates_widget{ float:left; border-radius: 5px; background-color:#fff; border:solid #683205 10px; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 1px #595959, inset 0px 0px 0px 1px #7D730B; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 1px #595959, inset 0px 0px 0px 1px #7D730B; box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 1px #595959, inset 0px 0px 0px 1px #7D730B; padding:15px 0 0px 15px; width:250px; height:365px; } #gr_footer{ margin-bottom:0px; height:30px; } #gr_updates_widget p{ padding:0px; margin:0; font-size:14px; } #gr_footer img{ width:100px; float:left; }

Had extra time in Gothenburg. Obviously, I had to spend it book browsing and surrounding myself with cats at a cat cafe! Lovely memories.

“I’m not telling you to make the world better I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it."

Joan Didion

Sometimes the small pleasures hit different. A clean house, a hot drink, making something from scratch, sitting on the porch with a loved one. Little soul-feeding activities.

“I love people. I love my family, my children… but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your springs that never dry up.”
