To all my readers who celebrate- Happy Thanksgiving in advance! I’ll be busy cooking and eating and scouring the web for early Black Friday deals tomorrow, so I’ll see you back here later!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I love all of these things!! I try to keep Christmas shopping fun rather than stressful. :)
Thanks Hope! Usually it’s fun, but this year it feels a little stressful because I’m still hunting for the perfect gifts for my family!
Great guide! ADORE those gloves!
Thank you so much Grace!
The Pantone demitasse are definitely my favorite. So clever! Though I do like those studded gloves, too.
The studded gloves are pretty amazing, no?! :)
love the cute backpack. :)

Thank you! Hope you had a good one too! :)
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! That espresso set would make a great gift, so bright and cute!
Thank you Monique, same to you! :)
I really love the platter, and the bag is the perfect color.
The platter is so pretty. I don’t think I would actually want to put any food on it!
