Book Haul #93: The Curious Tale of the Robot Who Could Fly


Hello fellow bookworms!!!

How are you all doing??? 
How is the weather by you???
I know most of us are going into spring, with allergies, lol! But some of you are also going into fall/winter... I'm more of a sweater-weather person, I wish it was fall all year long!

We've had another wonderful week in books! Quite an eclectic pile too!
I can't wait to read them all! But most of all, I cannot wait to doodle in the new Doodle Lit book! I've posted pics on my instagram; and I'll be posting my doodles on their too! So, if you're interested in my doodles, or my books, or baby pics or just stuff in general, please come on over and follow me on Instagram too :) 

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!
Don't forget to do something kind for someone too!!! xo

Bumbles and Fairy-Tales Updates and Book Haul (#63)


Hello bookish-nerds :) 
I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying amazing reads!!!

It's been a really busy two weeks around these parts - and of course, everyone had to get sick to make thing even more interesting for me, lol! They're all doing better except me :p I have now lost my voice and it's been quite funny trying to get things done and keep my boys in line, ha! 
It's also been a very busy time for books too! I did not think that I would have a book haul already, let alone one with so many books! I am beyond happy and blessed and cannot wait to read all of them within the next few months... 

2 weeks ago, my sister and I had a girls night out to the Book Revue for Jenny McCarthy's 'Stirring the Pot' book signing - we had SO much fun! It felt good to just be us for a little while, with the bonus of being surrounded by books ;)
