Planner 2022: Liberty Faber Poetry Diary- Haul & Review

 Hello, hello, 

Most of us have had a rough 2021. For some of us, the bad juju of the previous year continues into the new one! One way to process this horrible time that we're living through is focussing on the good in our lives- irrespective of how tiny that sliver of good is. That's where gratitude journaling comes in. 

You don't need to write a whole lot when it comes to expressing gratitude for those things in your life that are providing you with a sense of joy and peace. A couple of lines, a few bullet points are all that you need to document what is good or uplifting. 

My sister was looking for a diary/ dated planner with just enough space to list down a few things that were good about each day. She didn't want a ton of space and she also wanted a light weight planner that would be easily portable. 

Her frantic searching towards the end of 2021 led her to this beauty. 

Presenting *dun dun dun* the Liberty Faber Poetry Diary 2022! 



Look at her! Isn't she lovely! This is an annual diary released by Faber & Faber in collaboration with Liberty of London. The cover is made of a beautiful, soft fabric from Liberty of London, featuring one of its iconic floral prints. It is A5 sized and is easy to carry around because it is light-weight and slim, 




The inside layout is quite simple and minimal- just what my sister wanted! On the right-hand-side, the seven days of the week are laid out with just enough space to do a bit of bullet journaling style gratitude listing. On the left-hand-side, is either a poem from Faber & Faber's collection.....




.... Or pictures of pretty Faber & Faber book covers such as this one featuring a collection of poems by Wendy Cope. 




The paper quality is excellent! Smooth, thick, creamy paper that takes fountain pens and gel pens with easy without any shadowing. 



We ordered our Liberty Faber Poetry Diary from Flipkart, where there are still a few copies left. I believe, Amazon also has them. Go check it out if you are looking for a pretty and compact diary for 2022!

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends.
