Hi! Welcome!

Hooks Books & Wanderlust

Hi! I'm Kristen, a wife, a mom to two boys, and a breast cancer survivor. I'm passionate about crafting, particularly crochet, reading, and traveling. I love baking and only cook out of necessity. I learned to sew when I was around 9 years old but it's not my favorite thing to do. I love plants, but am not so great at growing them. I can't wait to share my adventures with you! *Gravatar Photo Cred: Sunflower Life Photography

Remember this cute pair of Bobble Slipper Socks I posted a couple weeks ago? If you’ve been looking to make a pair for yourself, @eclairemakery just dropped the pattern today! It’s the perfect quick make if you need some last minute gifts this holiday season. And be sure to check out the pattern hashtag #BobbleSlipperSock to see a gallery of pics from the other testers. ⠀⠀ #eclairemakery @lionbrandyarn #colormadeeasy #patterntester #crochetpattern #giftideas #crochet #fiberarts #iloveyarn #crochettexture #handmade #crochetersofig #crochetgirlgang #yarnaddict #crochetcrew #yarnaholic #ourmakerlife #bhooked #crochetblog #crochetblogger #indiedesigner #hooksbooksandwanderlust #stlouis #stlouismo #stlmakers #stlcreatives #smallbusiness

This day in age, there are so many “romance” novels out there with a romantic interest who is gorgeous and charming, but intense and mysterious, and sensitive and vulnerable, but smotheringly possessive, just like Lee Brightman in this story. The difference is that in this story, those qualities show themselves for what they truly are: dangerous. ⠀⠀ My full review of this keep-you-checking-your-locks thriller from @elizabethjhaynes is #ontheblog today. ⠀⠀ #ElizabethHaynes #intothedarkestcorner #harperpublishing #thriller #fiction #abuse #ebook #bookie #readingtime #lovetoread #bookish #readergram #bibliophile #booklover #bookworm #booksofig #readersofig #instabook #bookstagram #bookobsessed #bookreview #bookaddict #pageturner #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookstagrammer #goodreads #hooksbooksandwanderlust

We got our Nashville Girls Weekend started off right, with a moonshine tasting down at @olesmoky. Of course, I just had to get a pic for the gram of this mesmerizing display! ⠀⠀ Word of warning, you’ll want to stop at @whiteducktacoavl to fill your belly with some mouth-watering tacos before filling it with liquor 😉. Swipe to see the deliciousness. ➡️ ⠀⠀ You can read more about what we did on our girls trip to Nashville #ontheblog today! ⠀⠀ #nashville #girlsweekend #nashvilletn #therealnashville #olesmokydistillery #whiteducktacoshop #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #instapassport #instatravel #travelgram #alwaysgo #keepexploring #justbackfrom #travelblog #travelblogger #travelbug #travelwriter

What gifts are you making this year? ⠀⠀ Some friends and I are doing a 12 Days of Christmas thing where we each bring two gifts for each person, so I pulled out my essential oils and made these scented bath salts. Pairing that with little bottles of rosé and it’s a happy holiday indeed! I am also including sets of face scrubbies to round out the spa theme I have going here. ⠀⠀ If you want to learn how to make some for yourself, you can find out how #ontheblog today 😊. ⠀⠀ #handmadeholiday #diygifting #giftideas #handmadegifts #handmadewithlove #essentialoils #essentiallyoiledmachine #spaday #diy #diybathsalts #lifestyle #lifestyleblog #lifestyleblogger #blogger #hooksbooksandwanderlust #stlouis #stlouismo #stlmakers #stlcreatives #smallbusiness

The Bookshop On The Corner by Jenny Colgan ⠀⠀ A young librarian about to lose her job decides to risk it all to follow her dreams of owning her own book shop, and she moves from a busy town in England to a rural town in Scotland, starting over from scratch. ⠀⠀ It is a book about books, takes place in Scotland, and promises an easy breezy read...sounded right up my alley, but sadly this one just wasn’t for me. Read my full review, what I didn’t care for and what I actually did like, live now #ontheblog. ⠀⠀ #jennycolgan #thebookshoponthecorner #readitwednesday #fiction #ebook #bookie #readingtime #lovetoread #bookish #readergram #bibliophile #booklover #bookworm #booksofig #readersofig #instabook #readbeforeyouthink #bookstagram #bookobsessed #bookreview #bookaddict #pageturner #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookstagrammer #goodreads #hooksbooksandwanderlust
