Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

winter academia aesthetic: 

bundling up beneath your favourite tartan scarf / taking advantage of the holiday season by ordering a gingerbread latte / savouring the sudden warmth of your dorm room after trudging across the frozen lawns / drinking mulled wine by the fire / stocking up on books during the winter sales / the steam from your tea fogging up your reading glasses / the murmur of hushed voices in the unusually crowded library / pausing while you study to watch the flickering light of the candles / foreign film nights with hot cocoa and buttered popcorn / antique shopping for the perfect holiday gifts / the familiar sound of carols drifting from the music room

Small Town Dark Academia

• Go to you library or bookstore (If you have one) and look around for hours. You may look crazy, but what academic isn’t.

• Read in your local parks, forests, and maybe grave yard (just remember to be respectful.) Sit under a tree, or by a river and just read for hours. Read until the gold of the sun diminishes to a dark purple.

• Go into local coffee shops and cafes. Study in there, read, draw, write... anything really.

• Go to your museum or art gallery in your town ( If you have one.) I work in my museum, and they usually put up a new exhibit every few months, so just go check it out. You can also volunteer for the museum, if you wish to.

• Go on long drives, and listen to any music that gives you an atmosphere of dark Academia. Bring friends, and stare out the windows at the nature covering the land. Drive until the sky is black and the moon is high in the sky.

•Drink coffee, or tea if you prefer. Take long sips, and inbetween the breaks read a book or write.

• If you are of legal drinking age, go to your local bar, pub, etc. and see if they have any live music on that night. Go with your friends, or alone, both are fine.

•Take long hikes in the forest, especially during the autumn. It’s nice to take in the forest, and look around at all the vegetation, animals, possibly human bones (jkkkk), and the bodies of water.

• Go into antique stores, just do it. There are so many mysteries, and maybe a few ghosts. Antique stores are full of stories.

• Walk around town and find old houses you love. I like to do this with sister or my best friend, and we create a whole story about the people living in there.

• Wear clothes that look like DA clothing. Shop in thrift stores, because that’s where you will find the best and most original things. It’s also cheaper for those on a budget.

• Wear gold or silver jewelry.

Just look around your town, there always something.

The Boujee Book Tag

(Stolen from booktube)


I wasn’t exactly tagged, but when I saw @safifonhasstrel do this, I thought I’d try it too~

1. What is your average monthly budget for books?
I don’t currently have one, but that might be a good idea actually… if I was to set a monthly allowance I’d say about $50 aud to cover books and journals. I imagine the balance would roll over to the next month if I didn’t spend it all.

2. What is the most you’ve ever spent in a bookstore?
I don’t have a definite figure, but I’d probably say about $75 aud, which is the most I’ve ever spent in one bookstore. I have spent more than that in several bookstores over the course of one day though…

3. Are you willing to pay full price for a new release, or will you wait until you have a coupon or there’s a sale?
If it’s the next instalment in a series, I’d usually buy new release books straight away. If it’s a stand-alone novel, I’ll buy it whenever I want it. 

4. Would you rather buy one new book, or several less expensive used copies?
It would be completely dependant on the circumstances. I don’t buy used books over the internet since I can’t know the quality of the book, so if I was ordering online, definitely new. If it was an in store purchase, it would really depend on the book in question. 

5. What do you think is a reasonable price for a new hardcover book? A paperback? And eBook?
Depending on the length of the book, paperbacks are usually around $20 to $25 aud, and hardcovers are generally $35 aud, which I tend to think is quite reasonable. eBook’s are irrelevant to me, since I prefer to have a hard copy and will take an actual physical book over an eBook any day. What irks me more than anything about buying books is paying $25 aud for a very poorly written novel, and $20 aud for a fantastic one. 

6. Is a signed book worth more to you? What about a first edition? 
Again, it really depends! First edition is a definite yes, but signed? I’ll take it or leave it, unless it’s a personal favourite. That being said, if I could get a signed copy of Pride and Prejudice it would become my most valued possession. 

7. What is your most valuable book (sentimental or actual value)?
I don’t own any books that would be valuable in a monetary sense, but I do own several which are of deep sentimental value. Most are books that were given to me as a child, including several of my beautiful Kate DiCamillo novels, as well as my hardcover copy of the complete works of Beatrix Potter. 

8. Will you pay more for a cover or edition you like better? 
Absolutely. I like my books, new or old, to be aesthetically pleasing. My current biggest gripe about my bookshelf is that none of my copies of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series have matching covers. 

9. What physical characteristics does a good quality book have? 
To me, whether or not a book is ‘good quality’ doesn’t necessarily depend on whether it’s old and frayed, or shiny and new. It depends on how well it reads. But to speak purely of the physical characteristics; as mentioned above, old or new, I like my books to look nice. A book can certainly be well worn, or have loose pages, and still be nice in my opinion. But a book that has been scribbled in for no particular reason? That to me is a definite no. 

10. If you won the lottery, what bookish things would you do with money? 
Selflessly? I would donate books to hospitals and foster care homes, fund reading programs for schools in third-world countries, and build libraries at said schools so the children could further their reading. 
Selfishly? I would further my book collection and build myself a home library.

11. BONUS: Give an image (actual or mental) of your dream home library!
If I tried to find an actual image it could take all day, so I’ll opt for a description: picture a large room, with dark wooden floors covered in rugs and carpets, filled wall to wall with built in shelves of all my favourite books, classic and modern literature alike. Scattered throughout would be many comfortable armchairs and couches (each equipped with extra cushions and blankets), side tables to hold notebooks or hot beverages, and reading lamps. Ideally there would be a fireplace too, and at least one bay window with sweeping drapes tied back to let in the sun. 

I won’t tag anyone in particular, but I would love to see any and all book lovers give this a go ❤︎
