My name is Super Bookworm Girl and I'm a bookaholic
To Read or Not to Read
Is that even a question?

A couple of these shirts should greatly enhance my closet and my overall outlook on life.  So off I go to get some shirts, Happy Reading Everybody!

Soaking It All In

I LOVE a good bath.  I love being immersed in hot water with the perfect seasonal bubble bath, sipping a beverage and of course reading a good book.  Unfortunately I have been spoiled rotten at my old house and the bathtub at our new house is just not up to my exacting standards.   Lucky for me, we own this house and can upgrade!  Here are some epic tubs that I am looking at to enhance my soaking experience
Claw Foot Tub
I have a thing for these old fashioned claw foot bathtubs.  In fact on our Great Redwood Trip, one of the awesome parts was soaking in a tub like this.

Kyoto Ofuro Soaking Tub
Seriously though, there is nothing not to love about this tub!
Dark Patina Tub
This totally looks like something straight out of a book...I want it
Copper Bath
I love the borderline medieval feel of this tub...now I just need some fine strapping lads to fill it for me...

Steampunk Tub
Seriously we are probably gonna do the bathroom in a steampunk theme...so this is pretty much perfect.

Obviously the options for tubs are pretty much limited only by our imagination and budget.  I seriously can't wait until I have a tub that fits my soaking/reading needs.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Book On My Face

Hola Readers, I'm feeling a bit whimsical and daring today so I have been experimenting with all the makeups.  I have discovered that us bibliophiles are so prevalent and obsessed that make up is now on the list of book themed things we can own...so cool!  Here are some neat things I found wandering around the internet.

Harry Potter Makeup Brushes
Considering the apparent magic that takes place when I use makeup, I feel it is fitting that they are now in the form of a magic wand from our favorite magical tomes.
Harry Potter Eyeshadow
This is unfortunately sold out, but they have/had all four houses in their collection and it pretty magical if I do say so myself.


Hunger Games Covergirl Collection
Inspired by the 12 districts, there is something for everyone in this collection of makeup

Snow White Book Palatte
I love how this makeup collection opens up like a book and even has a story!

I feel like their is room for even MORE awesome book inspired make up collections, let's campaign for them shall we?  Happy Reading Everybody!

Warm Up With A Mug

It's that time of year again, the time of year that we all want to snuggle up in a blanket and read.  Of course to complete this pretty picture you need a big old mug of something hot.  It can be anything, coffee, tea, cider, cocoa, any number of delicious things that come in a mug.  Here are some perfect mugs to use to warm up with on our snuggly reading day.
Accio Coffee
If only it was this easy to refill my coffee!
Lord of the Rings Mug
Only true lovers of the Lord of the Rings will get this mug :-)
Disappearing Cheshire Cat Mug
Besides being an awesome original illustration, the cat disappears when you pour in a hot drink SO AWESOME!

Narnia Mug
Sigh...I still look in every closet I come across.
Game of Thrones Mug
Exactly what one needs after a night that is dark and full of terrors.

So for real though, anybody who sends me any of these will forever be on my favorite person list and get so much awesome reading vibes!!!!  I can't wait to go curl up with a hot brew and a good book.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Slide Onto My Bookshelf

How that I have completely covered all available wall space in bookshelves, I feel like I need to look into more options that help me pack more books into my space.  The solution seems to be sliding bookshelves, they allow me to layer up while still having access to all my lovely books.  Here are a few options that I have seen.
Sliding Into The Wall Shelves
I'm pretty sure this is a dream scenario, pulling out racks and racks of books for my own personal reading pleasure, YES PLEASE!
Closet Sliding Shelves
It's like a closet full of bookshelves!  Every time you move one door there is another behind it.
Sliding Door Shelves
With these door/shelves I can now use that pesky open space between rooms as book storage WOOHOO!
Folding Closet Bookshelf
Another pesky waste of space conquered!  Also combines my love of books and clothes so bonus!
Slide Case
A slightly more practical version of slide shelving, but with these I could at least double my book storage without too much extra space.

I shall continue to explore extra book storage options.  Anybody who has any suggestions is more then welcome to pass them along.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Words From Head To Toe

I love shopping, I love reading and I love clothes...here is a way to show my love of all three in an entire outfit devoted to the written word.

Hat Books
Starting with the top, this stylish book hat will let the world know that you love books...and big hats.
Pride and Prejudice Scarf
Wearing this classic scarf not only makes you look elegant...but gives you something to read at the bus stop.
Sherlock Holmes
There are about a bajillion amazing awesome book shirts to choose from...seriously you could wear a different one every day of your life and never repeat...also saves on laundry
Peter Pan Writing Gloves
These gloves will keep your palms and wrists warm and literary while leaving your fingers free to write the next great American (or whatever country your from) novel.
Book Pants
These are the perfect pants to snuggle up and read in...also for the record there are way more books about pants then there are pants with books on them.
Bookworm Socks
I have these, they are awesome, they make everything better, that is all.
Book Lover Shoes
I am loving these shoes that are both stylish and readable!  Just don't get caught out in the rain...

Ok so this should be enough to get you started on your literary wardrobe...just try not to spend to much time reading yourself ok?  Happy Reading Everybody!

Perfect Curl Up Chair

Now that I am back home, I get to continue to work on my never ending quest for the perfect book nook.  Today I need to find the perfect chair to place in the center of all that great bookiness.  Let's explore some ideas shall we?

Blue Book Chair
One of my fire house book club chica's found this for me...unfortunately I can't find an origin place for it so if anybody can tell me where to find it...

Amelie French Country Grey Literary Script Tufted Accent Chair
Besides having to learn French, I love this chair because of it's unique yet classic shape.  I also like that it is a bit more neutral so I can repaint my nook as many colors as I want...and with my love of change that is probably gonna happen a lot.

Hollow Chair
A comfy chair with the added bonus of not having to get up to start my next book!

Isaac Chaise French Chaise
Sadly this discontinued chaise lounge would have been the perfect combination of comfort and style for my nook...of course if I bat my eyelashes hard enough maybe I can convince them to bring it back!

Cuddle Circle Lounge Chair
How incredibly comfy does this chair look?!?  I can totally see myself curled up in this with my fuzzy blanket and a cup of coffee reading the hours away...and it's red so bonus!

These are just a few of the zillions of awesome chairs that are out there.  Of course with money a consideration I will probably have to reign it in, but a girl can dream.  Let me know if you have any suggestions.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Planning My Nook

Are all sick of hearing about my new house yet?  You are?  Well tough teeheehee.  One of the coolest things about my soon to be new house is that I have a whole area to my own personal book nook/library.  I am in the planning stages now so here are some of my current inspirations for what will soon be the most epic of book nooks (some of these might have been seen in previous posts...but that's ok 'cause now there for a purpose).


My favorite part about this one is the tree.  I also like the built in little desk to maybe write my super awesome blog on.


So this is probably closer to what will actually happen at my house, a comfy chair shoved into the middle of as many bookshelves as I can cram into my space.


Soooo....I'm pretty sure my Hubbin won't mind if I open up the floor between the stories to make this right...


I wonder how hard it would be to build a day bed right into the book nook?


I would love to add some cool architecture to the room, just for a little uniqueness.

These are just a couple of ideas to add to my ever changing idea of the perfect reading area.  The best part about owning the place is I can pretty much make whatever modifications my budget and know how allow so WOOOHOOO!   Happy Reading Everybody!
