The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

  Hello November!  Hello Fall!  Hello Scorpio Season!  Hello Sister's Birthday Month!  :)  I am happy you are here November.  I started my month with doing the things I usually do on the first day of the month.  I set up my Bujo pages, did up my journal and even set up my Book Journal for the month.  A very stationery heavy morning and the kind of thing I love.  November Page in my Bujo.  Added some autumnal colours and a little doggo in a sweater!  Too cute.  Of course I did a little bit of reading.  I am still reading my Halloween Read but I also started on a new book in honour of Non-Fiction November.  I adore this little Niffler dude on my bookmark. He's most cute.  The Book of Indian Ghosts by Riksunder Banerjee: I started reading this for Halloween and I am still reading this and loving this deep dive into all kinds of ghosts found in India. Such a good read.  Cultish by Amanda Montell: My first...

 Hello Loves!  A quick little post this morning.  I have been using this happy yellow journal as my daily journal since last month. I kept it simple and clean all of last month. But last night I decided to spruce it up using elements I got in my Floral Journaling Kit from Shop ABC . I used a few elements that were in the packaging and some from the kit itself.  :)  I love how lovely it's turned out.  Cute!  This took me less than five minutes and I love how it looks.  :)  This is the gorgeous kit.  I mean so freaking pretty.  The goodies inside are gorgeous too and will make my planning and journaling spreads so pretty. Will talk about it in more detail soon.  This was my journal before.  Happy yellow and pretty.  This journal is from Paper Clip. 

 A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.  I am a big believer in counting my blessings. In trying to find something good in every single day. It doesn't have to be something big or significant, even a small thing is enough to shift focus away from something less than perfect and instead focusing on things that make life good.  I have had a Gratitude Journal in some shape or form since 2015 or so.  This year my Gratitude Journal is much more loose form and more like a Bujo set-up. A place where I get to keep track of things I am grateful for everyday and even making a place to keep super aesthetic and do a spot of art journaling.  So a place for gratitude and creativity.  This is my Gratitude Journal for this year and some of the first few weeks in it. My Journal took it's own sweet time arriving and I got it only on the 16th of January, so I filled it up more as a throwback!  Before the ink...because some things I want to keep private.  This is...

Hello!  And welcome back to yet another edition of Stationery Sunday, where I share some of my stationery loves with you!  Today I am sharing a bounty of beauty from one of my favourite places on the planet to buy stationery from- Kikki K.  I've been a loyal Kikki K fan since the last 6 years and they never disappoint.  I've bought planners, pens, notebooks, journals, tote bags and pretty much everything they have on offer and I have loved it all.  Cannot recommend them and their aesthetic enough.  This time around I got this gorgeous planner, a personal planner is roughly an A6 size, it might be a little taller and slimmer. And it's undated so it's perfect to use at any given point.  Also, I snagged this one on sale! I will be using it in some capacity next year.  I am so excited.  I will do a proper flip through of it when I am using it, since it's come all nicely taped up and I don't want the pages to ...

Hello!  Let's do a delightful little haul shall we? I have been seeing Neha Doodles'  quirky and funny illustrations on IG for a hot minute now and figured it was time to add some of the quirk to my life.  So we got some utterly cute things!  Let's jump into it!  These just make me laugh, a lot!  The one above is magnet. The one below is a badge.  I am a notebook hoarder!  I just am and I have a hard time saying no to cute notebooks! I mean look at these.  These are both A6 sized and lined, thank God! I love lined notebooks because it's so much easier to write in them. I will be using them for my Bujo/Journaling in 2019.  I cannot wait!  Here is everything together.  My Review///  - Everything is super cute.  -Well priced too.  -The quality is great too. - The notebooks have great paper quality.  - The colours and illustrations are vivi...

Hello!  Hope your Sunday was wonderful!  Today I want to share a quick haul of notebooks I picked up from The Kulture Shop. I went to their Kala Ghoda store and spent some time browsing all the great art they have in their shop. Someday I want to go and get some prints for my walls. But on this excursion I got these notebooks, a tote bag, two tees and a mug.  The notebooks are an A6 size with 96 pages and they are very well made and have blank pages, so you could use them to sketch and doodle.  I am using mine for my Bujo and am very pleased with it.  :)  Here is a little glimpse at my Tote Bag. It is so gorgeous. I love the colours and the print and the very tropical vibes of the bag.  The bag itself is very well made and sturdy.  So gorgeous and colourful.  :) 

Hello September!  Be good! Be kind! Bring lots of joy!  Wanted to share an old-ish haul with all of you today! So, our love for Rifle Paper Co. goodies is well documented on this blog! So, when our other favourite- Lyra & Co.- had some beautiful pouches and Traveler's Notebook (TN) covers in Rifle Paper Co.'s new fabric range, we simply had to have something!  The first thing we got is this pencil case/ make up pouch in a navy floral print with a contrasting "cork leather" base. Look at how pretty this fabric is!  The new thing is the same print on a white background. I think the print looks even better on a white background! Will be using this as my main pencil case during September-October.  This is a Field Notes sized TN cover, which housed my Bullet Journal (BuJo) system in July. Love it! The aqua background also makes all the flowers pop!  The last piece is this Hobo...
