Want! How cute are these earrings? I love owls! The earrings are handmade from old books and newspapers and they look lovely bookish. (There is also a necklace and brooch available.)

 

Book quizzes January 27, 2011

Filed under: Games — Kim @ 10:27 am

If you want to test your knowledge of books and literature, I found the perfect website for you. The quizzes on it are not too easy . I have to admit, I find most of them pretty hard! You can test yourself on (for instance) Anne Rice Novels, Books by their Covers and even Literary Couples or Literature by The Simpsons. There is a quiz about almost every author you can think of and about the strangest book related topics around. Good luck and have fun!

 

MP3 player shaped like a book January 25, 2011

Filed under: Gifts,Handy — Kim @ 2:07 pm

I love the design of this MP3 player! It seems a bit big if you compare it with the popular devices, but when placed next to a book (as below) it is not too bad. Anyhow, you cannot really go wrong for $23. A nice present for a book lover, I would think.

 

A ‘real’ MacBook January 21, 2011

Filed under: Gifts,Handy — Kim @ 11:13 pm

No. There is nothing wrong with the look of a MacBook. The design is nice and sleek. I just does not really look like a Book, now does it? The solution is near! With this cover, the laptop looks quite the part. Even better: you protect it from damage too. I want one! If I owned a MacBook…

 

Reading glasses with bookish case January 21, 2011

Filed under: Handy — Kim @ 11:04 pm

If you need glasses for reading, and have you have+3.00, these glasses might be something for you. The glasses themselves look pretty good and the case looks even better!

 

Bookish nap time January 19, 2011

Not sure if this pillow that looks like a book is comfortable. I am pretty sure your boss is going to be pretty upset when he sees you walk into the building with this. Or it means that you need to get a life. ;-)

 

Bookish sleeve for your iPad January 17, 2011

Filed under: Handy — Kim @ 10:45 am

Apple did it again with the introduction of the iPad. I did not expect it to be such a huge success. Since a lot of people own one, the book lovers amongst them might like this sleeve. It protects your over priced device from damage ;-)

 

Bookish baby shower January 17, 2011

Filed under: Books all sorts — Kim @ 10:41 am

I promise that I will not post too much baby related stuff ;-) I found this a very nice idea, though. A library baby shower! Too bad showers are not a normal thing to do in The Netherlands…

 

Kimbooktu is back! January 15, 2011

Filed under: About the website — Kim @ 12:14 am

As most of you know, I took some time off to focus on my pregnancy. I am very pleased to tell you that our first child was born on September 29. 2010. We are over the moon with our beautiful baby girl, Lily. Below you can see the front of the birth announcement. Of course with a bookish touch ;D

Since we are now pretty much settled into parenthood, I will pick up on posting again. So, from now on, you can visit Kimbooktu.com again for your regular fix of bookish gadgets!
