This is my Tumblr and I share anything I want :) which I'm slowly weeding down to just bookish things.

Hi Tumblr, been a while. 😬 Idk what ima do yet so we'll see!

[ashleywaffle]

So I've decided to start keeping track of my bookish things in a bullet journal. This was my test page in an old sketch book with only a few books off the top of my head (books that I want to read and some favs that I want to reread). I've since then outlined the "case" in ink, but decided to make this a "books I've read in…" type of page rather than a TBR because…well…that TBR master list I'm trying to create is going to be a ridiculous length… BUT I just bought two books so hopefully I can remove them from my list soon! *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* #itsabooknerdthing #bookish #bookaholic #books #booklistbulletjournaling #IReadYA #ilovetoread #booksequallife #mynoseisalwaysinabook #craftybookideas #crafty #neverendingTBRs

A little something I made of all three covers in #TheGlitteringCourt trilogy by #VampireAcademy (and my favorite) author #RichelleMead. ☺️ Because I'm a freakin' nerd, that's why. 🤓 Trust me, on the nerd scale this is about a one. #TheEmeraldSea comes out June 26 2018!!! (As of this posting, and at least in the U.S.) *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* #itsabooknerdthing #books #YABooks #IReadYA #TGC #MidnightJewel #fantasy #YAFantasy #Fiction #YAFiction #bookish #HistoricalFantasy #YAHistoricalFantasy #2018Release #bookgeek #bookworm #booklover #ilovebooks #addtoyourTBR #imalwaysreadingsomething #booksequallife #booksarelife #VAFamily

Hey hey hey #RichelleMead fans, we gots ourselves a new book coming soon! #TheGlitteringCourt trilogy's conclusion has a name and is available for pre-order! (In my haste I accidentally pre-ordered the kindle version when I want the hardcover lol. Eh, I got five-ish months to fix that 😉). I'm so excited to figure out what the heck Tamsin has been up to! Fingers crossed this lives up to expectations (while I enjoyed #MidnightJewel, I did sorta wish we learned even more about Mira's background than we did but that's me). *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* #TGC #TheEmeraldSea #YABooks #IReadYA #books #booknerd #booknerdish #itsabooknerdthing #bookgeek #bookworm #ilovebooks #emerald #2018Release #YAFantasy #YAFiction #NewNobility #NewWorld #YAFictionalSchools #YAHistoricalFantasy #NOTHISTORICALFICTION #basedoncolonialAmerica #basedonElizabethanEra

Working on a #Hufflepuff scarf—my very first attempt, not following any pattern—and perhaps it's a bit too wide (I've made a note for next time 😉) but on the bright side it makes a nice little blanket for my kitty when she's stretched out like that 😂 *+*+*+*+ #HarryPotter #Crafts #crochet #diy #crafty #harrypotterchrochet #hufflepuffchrochet

While I don't keep all my books in protective glass cases (yet), using books as coasters is blasphemy in my eye and one of my biggest pet peeves. Right up there with dog-eared pages. You can use a dirty fork as a bookmark, but as soon as you fold that page corner… 😱😖😫😰 #itsabooknerdthing #books #booknerd #bookgeek #bookworm #booklover #petpeeves #booknerdproblems #ilovebooks #bookaholic

"Was he after the Defense Against the Dark Arts job again, sir? He didn't say…." "Oh, he definitely wanted the Defense Against the Dark Arts job," said Dumbledore. "The aftermath of our little meeting proved that. You see, we have never been able to keep a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for longer than a year since I refused the post to Lord Voldemort." -p. 446 of #HarryPotter and the #HalfBloodPrince by #JKRowling +*+*+*+*+ #potterhead #harrypotterswizardingworld #jkrowlingswizardingworld #harrypotterbooks #witches #wizards #hogwarts #magic #hogwartsschoolofwitchcraftandwizardry #dumbledore #defenseagainstthedarkarts #lordvoldemort #voldemort #anyothertagsimissedorwontfit #themoreyouknow #hpquotes #harrypotterquotes #booknerd #itsabooknerdthing

I love my Patchy! She completely understands that you're supposed to be able to go into #NewtScamander's suitcase!

Guys…I have a serious #VampireAcademy problem… err, correction. More like a #RichelleMead problem…I also have her #DarkSwan (aka #EugenieMarkham) series via iBooks, also the iBook for #Frostbite (but not #VA of any version! 😱 But I have the movie so I think I'm good for now). But not any #GeorginaKincaid (aka her #Succubus series) books 😱 or any version of her #DoctorWho50thAnniversary story #SomethingBorrowed! How dare I, right? I mean, I went out and bought the two physical books that feature additional short stories pertaining to the #VAWorld! But don't worry, fellow #VAFamily members: Those books I don't have will be my next splurge to content our #booknerd hearts 🤓😙📚📖 (psst! If you know of any other bonus short stories pertaining to any of Richelle's worlds, can ya do me a favor and let me know? I'll do the same in the future for anything else I hear! Thanks!) +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ #seriousbooknerd #hardcorebooknerd #ilovebooks #bookgeek #booklover #waytooobsessed #VampireAcademyBooks #VampireAcademySeries #Bloodlines #AgeofX #VA10 #Whovian #books #fandom

Okay #VAFamily members. We all know about the bonus stories at the end of the tenth anniversary of #VampireAcademy, yes? (Tasha's POV of the night Christian's parents turned and came for him; Lissa's journal from after the car accident to a few months before being captured and dragged back to St. Vlad's; Rose and Dimitri's meeting through his eyes; and a fun illicit scavenger hunt with an equally illicit helpful source). But was I the only one who had no idea that there are MORE short stories out there in the world?!? Thanks to Goodreads, I finally discovered them. There are two, each in two separate compilation books. One is of Lissa's parents's first meeting and falling in love, and the other follows #Romitri after Last Sacrifice as they travel to Russia to visit his family! I was floored I didn't know about these. I consider myself a hardcore rabid fan teetering on the line of no going back, so this was a shock to me. I mean, these compilation books came out in 2010, 2012!! Then again, I was still in high school and a little bit internet challenged still. ******************************* #VAFamily #books #problemsofabookaholic #vampires #vampireacademy #vampireacademybooks #booknerd

Rereading #ShadowKiss and of course I have to quote this part and what's a better picture to put with it than from the graphic novel? Unfortunately I still have to read the graphic novel, but I feel I'm not missing much since it appears the fun from the book didn't translate well. Seems to be a recurring trend. Which is a shame 'cause these two are hilarious. Wish a movie would someday happen. Until then: "What is that?" I asked, watching him take out a bowl of some kind of raw, ground-up meat from the refrigerator. "Meat," he said, dumping it onto a cutting board. "I know that, you idiot. What kind?" "Ground beef." He pulled another container out and then another. "And this is veil. And this is pork." "Do you have, like, a T. rex that you're trying to feed?" "Only if you want some. This is meatloaf." I stared. "With three kinds of meat?" "Why eat something called meatloaf if you aren't actually going to get some meat out of it?" I shook my head. "I can't believe this is only the first day with you." (Pp 49&50) **************************** #itsabooknerdthing #VampireAcademyBooks #VampireAcademySeries #VA #GraphicNovels #VAFamily #ShadowKissGraphicNovel #VASeries #vampires #meatloaf #RichelleMead #books #bookish #bookworm #bookgeek #booknerd #booklover #stopmessingwithmyfavoritebook

Rereading #ShadowKiss and I found a sticky note I left myself…well, it's actually for anyone who's going to be reading my copy of Shadow Kiss. This is in the second cover version of the book, before the series got revamped again, and I'm not sure if this is in other editions as well. It was just something that I caught the last time I reread it after reading the #Bloodlines series (which is where Jill's water magic is prominent). And yes, it was very necessary to add the sticky note. I even added one in #TheIndigoSpell next to that major typo saying that Tatiana has been Christian's great-aunt. Not true! * * * * #VampireAcademy #VA #VASeries #RichelleMeadBooks #bookish #booktypos #eagleye #typos #VampireAcademyBooks #VampireAcademySeries #Bloodlines #BloodlinesBooks #BloodlinesSeries #VampireAcademyTypos #majorbooktypos #itsabooknerdthing

When your sister takes off with your copy of #VA10 to read the bonus stories while you're in the middle of rereading #VampireAcademy…so you break out your old battered copy to reread in the meantime. 😁 #sistercompromises * * * #VAFamily #VampireAcademyBooks #VampireAcademyTenthAnniversary #VampireAcademySeries #VA #RichelleMead #Booklover #bookgeek #bookworm #booknerd #booksarelife #bookish #vampire #YABooks #comingofage #bffs #sisters

I don't understand why people think sniffing books is weird. I love new-book smells! It's like the first thing I do when I bring home a new book! * * * #bookish #books #booklife #booknerd #bookgeek #booklover #bookworm

Yup. Caffeine + Christmas shopping = me buying this. *waves goodbye to money, clutches magazine to chest and runs away to dark corner and reads* And how the hell haven't I heard of MuggleNet.com?!?!? * * * * #potterhead #harrypotter #fantasticbeasts #wizardingworld #jkrowling #pottermore #magic #christmasshopping
