The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves 🤍 Monday was happy in my corner of the world.  Here’s why…. Got this very cute Book Lover tote in the mail. I’m going to make it my book tote. To keep my current reads, my Kindle and iPad in one place.  It’s from Bookscharms store.  I also got a whole bunch of bookmarks, which I’ll share soon.  A happy start to my week. 

 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.  

 Hello Loves!  2023 has been the year of Tote Bags for me. I fell in love with tote bags and went a little crazy buying totes all year round and I have no regrets. I mostly bought from small businesses and got the cutest works of art.  Here are some Top Totebags of 2023. In no particular order.. Here we go..  1. Studio Joyeeta: Starting off with a forever fave Joyeeta, who started a merch line and we for two totes (obviously) and this lady is my favourite. Nicely made and featuring Joyeeta's incredible art.  I love it.  Check out her beautiful stuff on her website .  2. Strawbabie: I found this shop on IG and got myself some totes and stickers an other cuties from them. I currently have another order from them on the way to me.  I adore these totes. I used them as a Planner Tote and my Reading tote.  So cute, go check out their shop for some delightful things.  Find them here.  Love their aesthetic and vibe 🎀 3. La Dolce Vita: S...

 Hello Loves!  Let's haul something seriously cute today, shall we?  I got some absolute adorable things from Doodle O Drama , a place I've had my eye on for a while, her art is so cute and squishy.  Let's see..  Perpetual Mood.  This one just spoke to me.  Look at his tired little face.  I cannot even with the accuracy of this feeling.  The rest of the gang.  We've put these guys on our Raskog carts, and they add so much quirk to our stationery carts.  Now for the bag.  Emotional Baggage, something we all cart around, but has it ever looked this wholesome?  I think not.  Look at these faces!  I cannot with the cuteness.  Just look at the expressions.  Miffed but cute.  The bag is huge and spacious and very well made and super sturdy.  I used it as my planner bag in March and it held all of my stuff and I think this is the perfect size for daily use and even a spot of travel.  The shop i...

 Hello, hello, Sharing a lovely haul of notebooks and pouches from The White Ink Papeterie .  This huge notebook- think it is A3 in size- is part of a set. It came with a matching daisy print pouch and an acrylic cat and daisies keychain! So cute!  This is the keychain that came with the set! The girl stickers are their own thing. Love the art and quirky designs.   Here is a better shot of the cat keychain! Isn't it cute? The acrylic is very high quality.  Here is the daisy pouch! It is quite large and can easily fit a couple of thin A5 sized notebooks and a bunch of other things. It is made out of very high quality canvas and the print is really good quality as well! Super happy with these!  This is the other pouch we got. It comes with a floral notebook.  All the sheets in the notebooks are perforated and can be easily torn out, which is always a handy feature.  Check them out if you are looking for notebooks, pouches, stickers an...

 Hello Loves!  I am soo excited to do this post because I am so happy with how this little project turned out.  So, I have had this particular Kindle since 2018.  And so far, she's been pristine and living in covers.  Enter 2022 and my hand being in pain since April, I've found that having my Kindle nangu..aka without a cover to add weight to it, is so much kinder to my hand. So for most of this year, I've kept my Kindle naked and snug in a sleeve.  Earlier this year, my sister did up her Kindle's back and it looked so cute, so I wanted to do it too.  Finally, after months of thinking about it, I just took the plunge and got out some of my boxes of stickers and got started.  It took me around half an hour because I am a professional procrastinator and rethink and overthink every damn thing. Plus, I did try a few different combinations and pour over my many options and finally went with this gorgeous and cute spread.  Let's see all the things ...

Hello Loves!  Let's kick off the listing off my favourite things of 2022 with sharing my favourite mugs of the year.  I love me mug, honestly I cannot resist a cute mug when I see one...which is a little bit of problem.  This year I bought mugs from some new places and some old constant faves.  Here are my absolute favourite mugs from 2022...used for coffee (for most part), tea occasionally and even juice..I am not a glass person for some reason.  1. Goopy Bagha Mug from Alom Merch : First up we have this super nostalgic mug from Alom Merch. A little tribute to Ray and his magic and Bhooter Raja and some elements of the iconic Goopy Bagha films.  A perfect mug for a Ray fan.  Love this guy.  My Thamma used to do his voice for us when we were little and I love him a little extra just because of it.    Love love love.  2. Chumbak Mugs : I can't possibly have a list of favourite mugs without having Chumbak on the list.  I always...
