Words. Words. Words. Beautiful, evocative, and slightly miraculous when you think about them. Here are 11 of my favourites - sure to capture the hearts of anyone bookish.

Almost all Scribblers suffer from the The Scribble Bug. It’s an incurable condition, with common symptoms including bibliophilia, logophilia and a peculiar love of ink, paper and the smell of old books. And that’s what this blog is really all about.

A sunny place for shady people 🌊🍹☀️ . . And we’re back at the infamous Soggy Dollar Bar, so-called because you have to swim (or paddle board) ashore to the bar as boats are strictly unwelcome on the beautiful White Bay beaches. Of course, visitors from the USVI take the piss (but they do make for excellent people watching). . . Also storytime: this palm tree has a little sign attached because it’s the only one on the island that survived Hurricane Irma. All the rest have been recently bought and planted to start repopulating the beach. . . #paradisefound #caribbeansea #travelgram #igtravel #positivity #goodvibes #iamatraveller #dametraveler #passionpassport #notallthosewhowander #beachplease #beachbabes #soggydollarbar #neverstopexploring #bestplacestogo #beautifuldestinations

A truly terrible start to the day 🍹☀️ . . Cooper Island has always been our first port of call in the BVIs - it’s the quintessential, idyllic Caribbean - water so turquoise it’s like a surrealist’s dream; picture perfect beaches with a lively little beach club; half a dozen dinky villas for friendly locals and visitors after a heavy dose of r&r - what’s not to love?! . . Coming back this year, 18 months since Irma has been a little strange, the trees have been uprooted and the lush green hills are now craggy stone punctured by bush and borganvillia. But the island is still very much itself - alive and beautiful - and you can’t get a better start (or end) to your holiday here. . . #passionpassport #igtravel #travelgram #iamatraveler #dametraveler #bestplacestogo #beautifuldestinations #notallwhowanderarelost #neverstopexploring #beachclub #beachlife #caribbeansea #paradisefound #beautifulmatters

Resting beach face 🌊✨ . . What you don’t see in this photo is that 10 mins later my sister and I attempted paddle board yoga, during which I over balanced on the transition to warrior two and splashed straight into the bright blue sea. Oops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . . #passionpassport #paradisefound #travelgram #igtravel #notallthosewhowanderarelost #dametraveler #iamatraveler #alittlebeautyeveryday #waterbaby #beachplease #restingbeachface #paddleboarding #caribbeansea #bestplacestogo #beautifuldestinations #neverstopexploring

The Scribble Bug

Beware of a Girl with a Book. She is dangerous. “There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
