The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello!  Today I want to share my February Bujo Set-Up.  February being my birthday month I went all out in decorating my Bujo.  I used this beautiful traveller's notebook that my sister got me in December in my birthstone colour- Amethyst/ Purple.  :) I love this traveller's notebook, it is so well-made and was a delight to use. I loved it so much I ended up using it for March as well.  The traveller's notebook comes with front wrapping pocket which is super convenient in storing bits for your daily planning needs. I used it for storing these mini highlighters which might be the cutest things in the world and they are very useful and handy.  Look at the gorgeous colours.  I used these inserts from Kikkik which I love so much.  They are cute of course but I love the size and paper quality as well.  I used diecuts from The Planner Society Kit.  And I went all out.  I loved how adorabl...

Hello!  Time for another book haul.  I got four books in the beginning of the month. I can't wait to read these books come next month, since I am only reading Bengali books in April.  Let's see the newest books I've added to my bookshelves.  I knew I was going to have to get this book because we read the first book when it came out last year.  A Very Pukka Murder was a great read and I was so happy to see the sequel come out.  Doesn't this man look a lot like Amitabh Bachchan?  Or Sonu Sood?  The resemblance is uncanny.  :) I've heard good things about this book and I can't wait to read it. To be honest, I am not the biggest Mohsin Hamid fan. I didn't LOVE the two books I've read by him in the past- The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Moth Smoke were good books but I just didn't like them as much as so many other people did. So when Exit West came out last year and garnered all of these rave ...

Hello!  Today I want to share some recent loves.  I spotted Art Soul on Instagram and really loved their jewellery. Apart from being beautiful, these pieces are well priced as well.  We got some fabric jewellery and two wallets as well (not photographed).  I really loved everything I got and I cannot wait to wear these soon.  I got matching earrings and necklace in this pink, beige and green block print. I love the colours on this set.  The tassels are gorgeous too.  We also 4 fabric covered bangles.  I love fabric and cloth covered bangles and these four are the newest additions to my burgeoning collection. I love mixing fabric bangles with silver and wood bangles, I love the look of these mixed styles.  I have been buying fabric and textile jewellery for years now. Soma used to always have textile jewellery and I had bought some very pretty baubles from Jugaad during Dastakar Mela. I so happy to see ...

Hello!  Happy Saturday to you.  Today I want to share a darling little bag I bought from Suvasa , Jaipur on a my recent trip there.  I fell in love with the print and all it's little trimmings.  It was love at first sight. They had a few other bags in a similar style but I loved this one best.  I realised that I didn't have a black bag in the boho persuasion.  Plus, black and red is such a wonderful pairing.  This bag so many elements going on.  Pom-Poms. Tassels.  It adds to the bags charms immensely.  The yellow pops of colours go so well the monochrome colour palette.  Even it's inside is so pretty.  The bag is incredibly well-made and will fit a decent amount of stuff. Also, these colours will go with pretty much every single outfit!  Ah! My love for bags is so strong I really should just have a separate blog for my bag loving.  :)  Hope yo...

Hello!  I recently finished up my quarterly journal for the year and it was time to choose and set-up my journal for the next few months.  I do have a tiny daily journal where I write a page a day and I am loving that I have managed to keep up with that. These journals are for my more lengthly journal entires. Where I don't necessarily write about my day to day life, here I tend to mull over things and talk about my feelings. I also use this to document some bits and and souvenirs. For instance, I tend to stick tags from new clothes and bags and even bookmarks.  I have had one of these sorts of journals for over a decade now and I love re-visiting old memories and see the things I felt and did.  The journal itself is from Artchetype that I got a while back but hadn't used!  So I felt it was high time I got around to using it.  Decorated the front page with diecuts and stickers and some sticky notes.  Most of which is ...

Hello!  March was a very good bookish month. Full of good books. I read some amazing books and even bought myself some books I've wanted for a while and had my wish list for ages.  Let's see what books I've added to my bookshelves in the month of March.  I've heard nothing but good things about Nicola Yoon's books and I had to get these gorgeous books. I can't wait to read them. I have a feeling these will make for some great summer reading.  Plus, how incredibly beautiful are these covers?!  I adore Isabel Allende's writing and absolutely had to get her new book.  I have wanted this book since it came out and I've read it and adored it and reviewed it as well.  Another one from my wish list. I have wanted this book for years and for some reason it was either out of stock or criminally expensive. Finally found it both in stock and not too pricey.  God this book- Miss India Murders by Gauri Sinh!...
