Blogmas Day- 10: Words from the Hills by Ruskin Bond ~ Haul and Flip-Through+ Review!

Hello! 

I hope you had a good weekend and a lovely Sunday as well. 

My Sunday was a little bit hectic and a little bit too loud since the building opposite mine was blasting some item number type music all evening long!

No fun! 

But what is is fun and plain delightful is this gorgeous journal. 

I had my eye on it since it came out and wanted it rather. But seeing that I have a ton of notebooks, journals and planners sitting on my shelves; I decided to be sensible for once and hold off. 

Oh but the heart wants what the heart wants and in this case my heart wanted this book. 

I spotted it in Kitab Khana last month and I had to have it! 

I mean look at it! 

It combines several of my favourite things...

Illustrations. 

Words. 

&

Ruskin Bond! 

Who could pass this up!? 

Not me! 

My intention is to be use this journal when I am travelling. Especially when I am travelling to the hills. It will be perfect for documenting my days and journey and even stick little souvenirs from my travels in it. 

I am utterly emitted with the art in these pages. Ahlawat Gunjan (the artist) has done a commendable job. The art is simply darling and lends itself really well to the words of Mr. Bond. The vintage/retro vibe is high on this one and I LOVE it. 

Some pages have more writing than others but they are all stunning. 

This journal since it's full of art and illustration and some pages have only a few lines to write in, is great for journaling newbies or those who aren't very verbose writers. A musing here and a stray though there. You can fill this book up with fleeting ideas and not to pressed to fill up entire pages. 

I am so glad I finally caved in and bought this book. 

Things I LOVE about it: 

1. The art is fantastic. 

2. Each page has a little something going on.

3. Ruskin Bond's dreamy words are great starting points for journal entries. 

4. It's a good size to carry in your bag and journal on the go. 

5. The paper quality is pretty good.
