Monday Reads: Insurgent (review)

I just finished reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth. All I can say is WOW! Usually in a series I find that the second book tends to be a bit slower paced than the first but this one was action packed from the very first page and never slowed down. I was barely able to put it down. This book brought out so many emotions. I was angry, frustrated, relieved, happy, sad...It was a roller coaster ride of emotions from beginning to end. The book starts off from where the first book ended. There is no time lapse between the two books. This also means that Roth does not take any time to recap what happened in the first book. So it is best to read Divergent again before starting this one if you`re having trouble remembering any of the details. I re-read Divergent and then jumped straight into Insurgent. I cannot wait until the third and final installment of this series. We are left with a big cliffhanger at the end of the book and now I am anxiously waiting to see what happens next. Oh how I wish that I didn`t have to wait for the next book.

My new Ikea table

I bought this table yesterday from Ikea. Living in a small space means I have to look for ways to maximize the space. I love how this table can be folded down and used as a side table.

Thursday: Things I like this week (furniture edition)

So I recently moved into a new apartment! So exciting!! Here is a roundup of little things I have put in my apartment that I love.

 Ikea bookcase. I bought 2 of these Hemnes bookcases and am loving them. They weren't much fun to put together but they hold a ton of books and I have room for quite a few more!

 Foldable Laundry Baskets. I love these.  They are so convenient for storing dirty laundry, clean laundry and I love that they fold up and take up zero space!

 Faux Leather Foldable Storage Ottomans. I got these from Bouclair Home. Easy to put together and comfortable to sit on. They are also great for storage space. I use them for spare blankets.

Kitchen-Aid Paper Towel Holder. One of the best paper towel holders I've used. And it's red...which matches all my cooking utensils!

Can I please sit and read here?

Tea Time

Loving this mug. You can find it here.

Some home decor ideas

A simple and cheap headboard. It's beautiful and easy to make.




A neat idea for storing all those socks that are missing their other half.




Keeping cords organized with binder clips.




A closet organizer used to hold paper.




A cute towel hanger for the bathroom.

A little magic for your room

I find that since I am moving out soon I have been looking for home decor inspiration. Isn't this headboard beautiful and a little magical?

I kinda want to live here

A new discovery

I frequently like to organize my bookshelves. I greatly enjoy taking out all my books and reorganizing them, especially after I go on a book shopping spree (a little dorky, I know). I had no room left on my shelves and I have two bookshelves in my room. I decided to turn all my books horizontally and now I have room for all my books and room left over! Here is a little sample of one of my shelves. Oh, and an added bonus: this way the tops of the books don't get dusty. I find it quite difficult to get the dust off when it sticks to the tops of the pages. I am looking forward to having a wall filled with shelves for my books in my new place. I am on a hunt for the perfect bookshelf!

Book Beds

These are just too cool! I am loving the story book quilt and would love to take a nap in that comfy book bed. Can you tell that this is a sleep lazy Saturday for me?

Dress up your walls

I am moving out in a few months and am looking for things to spice up my new place. I am loving these wall decals from www.thewallpapermuralcompany.com

Love this!

I want this welcome/un-welcome mat.

Bookshelves

As a book lover, I love unique shelves and am always looking for unique shelves that I can one day own for my many many books. Here are two neat ones.
