Books, stationery, and wellbeing
The list of books I want to read grows by the day but I'm not going to include them all in this wish list. Instead, I'm focusing on gorgeous covers and special editions, as well as some rather fun accessories. Anne of Green Gables: V&A Collector's Edition, £9.98 | The Secret Garden: V&A Collector's Edition,… Continue reading A bookworm’s wish list

I recently joined the Creoly Early Bird Club reviewer program and just received my first item to review: the Creoly Th[ink] Hardbound Dotted Notebook*. Its Amazon description claims it's perfect for bullet journalling and it's not hard to see why. Available in three colours (black, red or blue), you can pick your cover to suit… Continue reading Tried and tested: Th[ink] dot grid notebooks from Creoly
When it comes to kawaii stationery you can't go wrong with something Ghibli-inspired. I love this Totoro notebook and pen combo from Amazon. Totoro Notebook and Pen One Piece Notebook Set for Collectors, £13.99
With World Book Day just around the corner (2 March, fact fans!), I've found myself intrigued by the book How to be Well Read. I'd be hard pressed to get through all 500 books but I'm definitely interested in knowing more about the recommendations. The hardback is available on Amazon for £20.00. How to be… Continue reading Item of the day: How to be Well Read by John Sutherland

BMO light-up journal, £15.84 I'd love it if you could take five minutes to complete my reader survey. You'll… Continue reading Item of the day: BMO light-up journal from Amazon
How cool does this book sound? 100 women who have changed the world, aka bad girls throughout history. Beautifully illustrated, this book features total bad asses, including one of my faves, Nora Ephron, Maya Angelou, Jane Austen and Joan Jett. It's £12.08 from Amazon.
Everyone might still be talking about The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck (which I've still not read) but did you know Sarah Knight released a new book last month? It's called 'Get Your Shit Together: How to stop worrying about what you should do so you can finish what you need to… Continue reading Item of the day: Get Your Shit Together by Sarah Knight
I was gifted 13 books(!) for Christmas and a Waterstones voucher (just ordered three more titles!), so I'm not exactly short on something to read. But there are always titles that keep popping up on blog posts that look intriguing, like Quiet by Susan Cain. I was first attracted to the cover but when I… Continue reading Item of the day: Quiet by Susan Cain
I spotted these Aquash water brushes on Giada's blog and they look like the perfect tool to help me with lettering. And they're reasonably priced too - £7.89 plus free delivery for a pack of three, with additional offers on paints.
Here's the perfect gift for bookworms to share with their mini bookworms. I'm a big fan of Oliver Jeffers' illustrations and when I spotted A Child of Books on Instagram I knew I had to add it to The List. It's a gorgeous picture book about reading and sharing stories, featuring excerpts from the likes… Continue reading Item of the day: A Child of Books by Sam Winston and Oliver Jeffers
