The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 My sister bought me a new mug today while ordering some groceries.  It makes me so happy. 😍 Look how cute it is..  Bearly Awake is me most mornings 🐻

 Hello Loves!  Today I just want to love on my newest squish friend.  A lil Froggie from Strawbabie.  I mean look at her!  I am obsessed.  OBSESSED.  🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 I have wanted her since I first saw her, back when she was first launched but I told myself I had to be a grown-up and not cave in and get every single cute plushie/crochet cutie I see!  I had to be mature.  This firm self-talk lasted for a few months and as December rolled around, my resolve to be a grown ass woman fell by the wayside and my urge to Treat Myself took center stage.  And here she is.  I love her so much!  Her face makes me smile every single time.  She brings me so much joy.  I love things like these.  Silly. Sweet. Handmade. Cute.  I am so glad I got her, she is worth every paisa.  :)  Go see if you want one for yourself.  

Book: The Hotel Nantucket Author: Elin Hilderbrand  Pages: 416  Read on: Kindle  Read in: ~4 hours  Plot Summary:  After a tragic fire in 1922 that killed 19-year-old chambermaid, Grace Hadley, The Hotel Nantucket descended from a gilded age gem to a mediocre budget-friendly lodge to inevitably an abandoned eyesore — until it's purchased and renovated top to bottom by London billionaire, Xavier Darling.   Xavier hires Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton as his general manager, and Lizbet, in turn, pulls together a charismatic, if inexperienced, staff who share the vision of turning the fate of the hotel around.  They face challenges in getting along with one another (and with the guests), in overcoming the hotel's bad reputation, and in surviving the (mostly) harmless shenanigans of Grace Hadley herself — who won't stop haunting the hotel until her murder is acknowledged. Things I Liked:  1. The Hotel Nantucket is a very heartwarming, fun...

Hello Loves! Time to share some adorable bookish goodies I've recently added to my life.  You know I love a good book sleeve...a little too much some might say. A few months ago, I came across Sangrah on IG and ordered some goodies from them. They recently had some amazing offers and some new prints (not on sale) and I treated myself to some book-sleeves.  Here are my newest, squishy sleeves in all their glory.  I have done a haul showing my loot from them last time, you can see that post here.   Prints, Prints, Prints.  All very bookish.  Here is the first one, slightly with a vintage vibe. I love the vintage-y stack of books and the bundle of letters.  This one is a perfect size for a Kindle or an iPad Mini or a small paperback. My sister is using it for her Kindle at the moment.  This one might just be my favourite.  I love everything about this print, the colour and the illustrations.  So so so cute.  I am already using this on...

 Hello Loves!  How has your long weekend been?  Mine was film filled. I watched a ton of stuff and will do another batch of TV and film recommendations soon!  Today to ease into the new week, I am sharing a belated haul of beautiful things from Taaga by Reema .  I got these beauties on my birthday and I took these pictures on my main camera, my Canon camera and I had forgotten all about them. Because sadly, in the last two years I have rarely picked up my camera! Sad!  But today I managed to finally transfer said images and here we are with a beautiful little haul.  I have bought from Taaga numerous times in the last year. I love the prints she stocks and I love the many, many things you can get from her shop.  I have bought everything from Backpacks. Tote Bags, Kindle and Book Sleeves and multiple pouches and even a pencil case. I have loved everything she's made for us and I highly recommend you go check her out and get something beautiful. Ther...

 Hello Loves!  Time for a little bookmark haul today.  I got these beautiful and cuddly bookmarks from Fugaa back in December. And they are too cute for words. The little girl in these bookmarks reminds me of me as a little girl. It was honestly love at first sight.  I got there bookmarks and a tiny notebook from this shop, I will show you the notebook some other day. Lets see the adorable bookmarks today.  Look at this cute little face!  Plus Cat!  I am so smitten.  With a furry friend.  Doesn't this remind you of summers in your childhood, running wild and free and being with nature?  Sleepy cuteness.  Here are all of them together.  I am so in love with these.  I love this darling little girl and definitely want  more art featuring her.  Go check out Fugaa. 

 Hello Loves!  Let's look at some cute stickers today shall we?  This week I got some very happy mail from Kimey's Korner , an order entirely of adorable stickers to use in my planner and journals. I am so happy with these stickers, this was my second time ordering from her and I am definitely going to keep going back for more. I have already started using these stickers and they make my spreads look so good and they make me so happy.  Even the packaging was so cute. The stickers (I got three sets of stickers) came in cute vellum paper envelopes, something that's useful and can be repurposed in your journaling spreads. I  got one set of monochrome stickers (I will share those later, you can see them in my post on my Blog Planner where I already put them to use) and two sets of the same Girl stickers.  Let's look at the Girl/Women stickers shall we?  Here they are.  I love that the girls all look different and have on different kinds of outfits and...

Hello Loves!  For a stationery loving and hoarding Behen, such as myself, a pencil pouch/bag is of utmost importance. A place to carry all my pens and pencils and highlighter and other miscellaneous things and keep them all in one place and safe is very critical.  So I tend to get a lot of pouches for this specific purpose. I also really like pouches in general. Back when life was ordinary and one went out and about, I used a lot of pouches to keep my bag organised and neat. I also use pouches to store my stationery, make-up and bookmarks and even jewellery. So in my world I can never have enough pouches.  :)  I was recently getting a backpack and tote from Taaga by Reema, and Reema shared some of her new quirky fabrics with me, I guess she knows me well and lo and behold I fell in love with these two prints and needed something in them. I didn't want another tote or backpack, so I went a classic, a pouch!  Two pencils bag, one for my sister and one for me....

 Hello Loves!  I recently came across these super cute calendar bookmarks on Amazon from the brand Seedhi Jalebi .  I got these to use in my journal and not quite as bookmarks.  These bookmarks are cute and printed on really nice and thick paper.  Aren't these adorable?  Also Hedgehogs!  :)
