Discussion: When do you buy books?

This is just a random off the wall topic because today (actually all week) I've been so stressed at work, and tired of everything that's going on there. I won't get into that though because this is a book blog not my personal one. I've literally just started crying at work because I'm just stressed and frustrated, and so finally today after work I'm like I have to treat myself to something. Can you guess what that something was? Well if you can't from the title of the post I bought books. Which I haven't really gone all book crazy lately because I'm trying to save money for my new apartment, but I needed to relieve stress. I spent a good 90 dollars on books, but I got some awesome ones.

So here's my question when do ya'll feel the need to buy books? Is it sporadic? Do you get stressed and think I need to by something like me and buy books? 

Above is the picture of the books I bought to today with the exception of Fracture which my apt office has had for over a month or two and I need it for the blog tour (stupid office) I'll have them on an upcoming IMM because I have some other stuff to show. :) I'm a little mad because I found bloodrose and I have yet to buy wolfsbane.

. I'm just curious. You know how some people buy shoes, purses, or whatever else books is my thing. (Not to mention the past day or two I've picked up a bad habit that I'm not proud of because I've told people all my life even my BF that I would never do it because I hate the smell and everything, but yeah it sucks.)

In my mailbox (49)

So this video was taken like a month ago and I'm just now getting around to putting it up as an IMM. I've gotten a few other things since this, but I'll save those for a later IMM (Oh and my wrist is now fine.)

Book tour stop #33: Galahad Legacy

"It's called a habitable zone," Roc interjected. "Or as some call it, the Goldilocks zone." It's not hot and it's not to cold, it's just right."
"Right," Lita said. "Earth is in the habitable zone around our sun.  If it were closer to the sun it would burn up, farther out and it would be frozen. With red dwarfs, that zone is even thinner. it's much less likely that planets would fall perfectly into that band. She looked at Triana, who still had her back to the group. "Tree, you said that space didn't seem exactly normal. What did you mean by that?

My birthday is Wed and RAK and other stuff so read!

So it's been almost a month since I've posted anything which I guess if you think about it can either be a good thing or a bad thing.

Good because that means I've found other things in my life that don't revolve around the computer, and maybe I won't become that lonely person I thought I'd be. I'm sorry if I offend any one. It's just for once in my life I don't just come home and sit at my computer depressed. I have that someone who I enjoy being with and who makes my life complete. Does that sound cheesy?

It's a bad thing though because I really do love my site and all you awesome readers and friends I've made from it. I'd be lost without some of you. It's also brought something into my life that I love and can be addicted to without causing to many problems. Although the book buying may cause some problems when I move out in May. :) I feel horrible that I haven't done any reviews, yet I've read 5 or 6 books in the past months that I should review. Not to mention all the packages I have sitting by the bed that I've been meaning to send out for the past 4 months. Ones for my winners, and a few for friends that I keep telling them I'll send. Epic fail I know.

Oh, guess what wed is? Yep, that's right my birthday. I'll be 26. -sigh-

I'm thinking I might just by a book for someone from the book depository come Wed. If you leave a comment on this post. Not many comment so the odds are in your favor. :)

Also if you wanna be nice to me for my birthday you can check out my RAK list. :)
Or here are a few I've been wanting

Wolfsbane and bloodrose by Andrea Cremer

Starters by Lissa Price

Insurgent by Veronica Roth (its not out yet but I'm so dying to read it)

Oh or anything living dead dolls. I'm a little obsessed with those. See above pic.
Also I went to trim my hair but ended up cutting a bit of it off

Bookshelf Tour from November

This is another book self tour I did right before I moved out of the house I was living in. I will probably do another one as soon as I move into the other apartment, and get things settled and get all my books out of boxes. I have gotten so many other books the past few months that this doesn't reflect what I have. I thought I'd try to keep something up though, and I'm not sure I ever actually posted this one.

Update: Whats happening and what will be going on

Hey my darling readers! 

Sorry I've been MIA lately except for a few posts here and there and no reviews. I've actaully finished 2 or 3 books that I have half reviews for in draft format. Just haven't finished them. I've been busy with work, exhausted from work, spending time with the boyfriend, and just trying to get my life back to where I want it. I'm actually pretty happy because if all goes well with our apt applications Ryan and I will be getting our own place, and the apt is pretty awesome looking. No more living and sleeping in my moms living room. We'll have an extra bedroom, and I can take all my books out of storage and they'll have their own space. Yes, Ryans aware of my book obsession and how many I own. He's sweet even though he's not interested in books he'll always ask me "What're you reading now?"

As I type this I have a splint on my right hand so it's a little difficult to do this, but I needed to update everyone and let you know I haven't disappeared. :) So yeah last week i hurt my right hand/wrist and didn't think twice about it getting worse. Well, Monday morning while I was working (I'm a pharmacy tech so I have to type and count) my wrist started hurting extremely bad. It was making weird sounds when I would move my thumb so I ended up going to the ER after work and found out it was sprained. This is what they ended up doing to my arm. (Points to picture on left side) So now I'm stuck with this for awhile, and what really sucks is it's my right hand and you guessed it I'm right handed. Now I'm off for the next 5 days. Which is fine I needed to get away from work.

On to other news:
I'm sooooo freaking excited to say that I got an ARC of The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa, author of the irony fey series (which I need to read), and I'll probably be reading that soon. Once I finish reading it I'll be putting up a giveaway for a finished copy from the publisher remember you won't get it until its release date though.

Oh also Amazon is like a drug to me. Seriously, I go on there to buy one thing and end up with more then what I intended on buying. Like last week I went on there to buy the movie Super Troopers because I couldn't find it anywhere else. (if you haven't seen it. it's hilarious.) Along with that I ended up getting Sadie a living dead doll, a living dead dolls calendar, and some zombie posters. pictures below. :) Yes, My names Ashley and I'm an amazon-o-holic.

Q: What book would you love to see made into a movie or television show and do you have actors/actresses in mind to play the main characters?

  I would love to see Vampire academy made into either a movie or show. Yes, I know we all think the movies and shows wouldn't do the books justice, and maybe they wouldn't but it would still be interesting to see it come to life. The nightworld books would also make for an interesting tv series. Divergent would also be a pretty cool movie to see. There are so many books that i would enjoy seeing play out on the big screens.
