Well, hello there!
I ended up taking way too much time off without really meaning to do so!
Damn!
I think my birthday and February in general always ends up being a little too hectic for my liking.
:(
And to think that I meant to blog everyday this month.
Well..life has been crazy busy all month long.
And Mercury Retrograde has hit me something hard!
Our car went to the garage twice and once for servicing.
My mixer jar lid broke.
Two of our fans broke.
A mug broke.
A glass bowl shattered into a million different pieces.
It's been a LOT.
But there have been some highlights too.
My birthday...well...for most part. On my actual birthday- the 18th I was sick and car-less, so I ended up staying home and taking a long nap to heal myself. It was low key but good.
I did buy 10 books.
&
Some goodies from Chumbak and other places.
I will share my loot soon enough.
Here are some pictures from the last few days...
1. Books and Coffee.
Did a whole, big time book re-jig and found some old gems that I want to re-read. I also loved dusting my precious books and moving around books and having the ones I am yet to read close at hand.
Mug from Chumbak, holding some much needed coffee to tackle my bookshelves.
2. Read some incredible books for my #ReadingFavouritesinFebruary.
Including this little gem I finished today.
Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line comes with a lot of advance praise, all of which is well-deserved, I will do a full review shortly.
But I loved it and highly recommend it.
3. It's getting hot here. Our fleeting winter is long gone. So cold coffee and milkshakes are back!
Had some refreshing strawberry milkshake out of this darlinggggg little mug.
The mug is from Amazon, so many people asked me on IG.
:)
And it was pretty cheap too.
4. Birthday.
So I turned a year older.
Hopefully wiser.
Got a lot of warm and loving wishes.
:)
And got some new books and some beautiful things to treat myself.
Also these beautiful flowers from my darling friend M.
Felt loved and pampered and happy.
Read a little bit of Ruskin Bond on my birthday.
A Little Book of Life, full of quotes and musings from Ruskin Bond, a perfect birthday read if you ask me.
:)
5. Went out with my Boo bag from The Burlap People.
Ran errands.
Ate at Indigo Deli.
Picked up some skincare and make-up bits.
Moaned about how hot its getting already.
:(
6. My bookshelves looking stunning AF!
I mean look how pretty.
I am eternally grateful for my books and I couldn't imagine my life/home/world without the in it.
I have also been journaling plenty.
Taking care of my skin which is going through a bit of a rough spot, I blame the pollution and construction close to my home.
I also watched the last ever episode of Criminal Minds and I am going to miss it so much. I plan on re-watching the whole thing, especially the first 7 seasons which was just brilliant.
But this show has been in my life for 15 years and I can't imagine there not being another new episode. I wish they do a spin off or something.
I have already read 25 books this year, which is a very good number to be at and most of these books were ones I enjoyed. So reading wise life has been good.
Oh..I also won a Give-away! So a book from Harper Collins should be on it's way to me. I haven't won something in ages, so this felt like such a birthday month miracle.
:)
I also watched the new BBC adaptation of The Pale Horse and I didn't like it at all, especially the second (last) episode had me completely tuned out.
:(
I am just happy I re-read the book between watching episode 1 and 2.
The book is absolutely brilliant. It's soooo good and evil and sinister!
Dame Christie at her very best.
It was atmospheric alright, moody and spooky in parts but overall it was just...not for me.
It is just so dramatically different from the book that it's kinda unrecognisable.
Maybe if you haven't read the book, this 2 part series will work for you but I, while enjoying the drama, the look and feel and the sinister atmosphere didn't really care about the show in it's entirety.
So that's been my life in the last few days since I pretty much abandoned the blog.
But worry not, I hope to be back and do a ton of reviews of some pretty amazing books I've read recently.
