The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello, hello! Wanted to quickly share the top 5 things that are on my sister and my wishlist right now! These are big and small things and we look at these as little treats to ourselves for surviving these times! :) Also since this is my Birthday Month I am always looking for presents for myself :)  1. Uni-Ball One Gel Pens  I just love gel pens and can't have enough of them! These newest gel pens from Uni-ball are supposed to be rich and can write to surfaces like vellum as well! We use a lot of vellum paper in our journals and being able to write on them is a huge plus!  2. SoftCover Purple Notebook from myPaperClip  These softcover notebooks from myPaperClip look perfect for my 'daily pages' (where I write my feelings, thoughts, events of the day in a more free-flowing, stream of consciousness manner) journal! Plus, isn't that colour so cute?!  3.  Small Drawer Pouch from Hobonichi My sister is eyeing this stationery pouch from ...

Hello!  A brand new week is upon us and this week kickstarts Ganesh Chaturthi :)  So let the festivities ensue. :)  Last week I found myself browsing in Accessorize and came across some beauties in the store. Accessorize is one of my favourite stores to shop for jewellery and bags and cute little bits and bobs. :) This time I saw some adorable cuties from their new collection. Sadly I didn't buy anything...my sister bought a bag...a burgundy tote. I just stared at the bag charms but I just couldn't justify spending Rs. 1345 on a fluffy bag charm. It's quite a lot. But I am so tempted. So tempted to go back and get those squishy faces. But no..I will be strong...maybe..I..ah!  For now these sit very firmly on my wishlist.  I also spotted this navy and brown trimmings satchel and love the colour combination. And the funny little polka dots.  :)  Have a great week ahead folks.  Happy Reading. 

Hello!  Hello 2016.  A brand new year.  A new beginning and a fresh new start.  Hope 2016 is a good year for all of you.  Hope all of your dreams come true and you find contentment and peace.  For me... I hope 2016 is a year that brings joy, peace and happiness.  A year of happy reading.  Good books. Cooking.  Journaling. Writing.  Travel.  Coffee. Book buying.  Good food.  Adventures big and small.  :)  Be Kind to us 2016.  :) 

Hello!  And. Ho! Ho! Ho!  Christmas is around the corner and it's time to get festive and get in the Christmas spirit. It's also time to pile some gifts under the tree.  I thought I'd share some things I wish would land up under my tree this Christmas.  Time for a Christmas Wishlist! :)  1. The Classic Saddle Bag from Cord: I am a bag lady. If you know me in real life or via social media, you'll know that bags make my heart sing. And satchel bags are my thing. And this bag looks adorable and classy and timeless. I have one bag from Cord already and I really love the quality and craftsmanship of the bag.  2.

Hello!  At any given time my Amazon and Flipkart accounts have pretty long wishlists..full of books of course. My Amazon wishlist as of now has like 90 books on it. And my Flipkart possibly has a similar number, though it also has a camera and some other bits and bobs on it as well.  Apart from books I also always have little lists going in my journal about the little things I want to eventually get. So I thought I'd share some of the things I've been thinking of and lusting after! :)  So let's see... 1. Adult Colouring Books!! Finally something lovely and perfect for adults who still love colouring. I have always enjoyed colouring and have been buying children's colouring books (I have a Hello Kitty one that I adore) for the lack of options. I am so happy that books like these exist and I want them soooo badly and I want to get them as soon as I can!  2. Forest Essentials Cologne Intense in Madurai Jasmine: I have been a long time ...

In all my life...all my bookish life to be more precise, I haven never wanted a particular edition of books more. I know one shouldn't get too invested and put all this love and lust and wanting into a book cover, but look....so pretty! So incredibly pretty! I first saw a sneak peak at these gorgeous editions on Anna Rifle Bond's Instagram account a couple of months ago and I was in love. I may or may not have spasm-ed hard and poked my sister in the ribs!!!  It was love at first sight!  Finally, after months of waiting the books are out.  And man I want them sooooooo hard! So bad.  Aren't they just gorgeous?!  I am a huge fan of the Rifle Paper Co. products, I have a set of notebooks from them and love them to bits. I love their aesthetic and style.  As much as I want these books, I am going to wait and get them from Diwali or something.  Maybe.... Ah! So pretty!
