Idk why today’s the day my tiny little blog exploded, but to everyone who reads my ramblings, thank you. Page x Pixel is a pure passion project, and I love it so much. 💜

Making progress on the new painting, but now it’s time to let it dry. 🎨 🖌️

I’ve had a lot of fun getting into intuitive painting! Going into this without a concrete vision is always intimidating, but the process is fun and surprisingly meditative. I’m excited to see how this one unfolds!

Don’t get me wrong, I ADORED Mistborn, but Warbreaker might be one of my favorite books of all time. 💙📚

It’s a chilly Sunday so this book sniffer is sniffing some books and enjoying a bit too much coffee.

Has anyone else read Warbreaker? What are your thoughts? 💙📚

“I am, unfortunately, the Hero of Ages.”

You were right. I have been destroyed and healed and now I’m just staring at the wall. 💙📚

Snow Day pt. 2 ❄️

A little more than halfway done with The Hero of Ages. What Sanderson book should I dive into after Era 1 of Mistborn? I need more!

Everyone else in the South: Clears out bread and milk before the storm.

Me: Clears out the bookstore like my life depends on it.

Just kidding. Kind of. 💙📚

2025 might just be the Year of Sanderson for me. I can’t believe it took me so long to get into his books, but they’re about to become my entire personality.

You’ve alllllll been warned. 💙📚

“It seems that the rebels found the chaos of transition more difficult to accept than the tyranny they had known before. They joyfully welcomed back authority-even oppressive authority-for it was less painful for them than uncertainty.”

Mistborn slipped in as my final finished read of 2024!

I finished the year at 57 books 📚 🔥

With that said, I hope all of you have a fun and safe New Year. See you in 2025 💙📚

I probably won’t be finishing this first draft by the end of the year, BUT what was planned as a novella has dramatically grown. 🔥

50,000 words and counting!

Page x Pixel is outlined for the rest of the month, and I wrote nearly 3000 words on the book today.

Rewarding myself with tea & Cyberpunk. 🫖

Been a bit quiet about this, but I’m at 35,000 words and counting!
Hitting over 20,000 words tonight! I’m beyond excited about this project.

Some of the absolute best protagonists in video games are women. If you’re complaining about Ciri based on the Witcher 4 trailer, maybe just go outside and touch some grass or something.

Weird people. 🎮

Tea, a book, and a cozy Christmas movie. It’s the perfect night! 🌈📚💙

Just a reminder: Reading goals do not define your ability as a reader! As the end of the year approaches, we're going to see more posts about people hitting their goals, and some of the numbers are going to be wild.

Whether you've read 1 or 1000 books this year, that should be celebrated. 💙📚
