Hello November 2022 + Current Reads + Goals for the Month.

 


Hello November! 

Hello Fall! 

Hello Scorpio Season! 

Hello Sister's Birthday Month! 

:) 

I am happy you are here November. 

I started my month with doing the things I usually do on the first day of the month. 

I set up my Bujo pages, did up my journal and even set up my Book Journal for the month. 

A very stationery heavy morning and the kind of thing I love. 


November Page in my Bujo. 

Added some autumnal colours and a little doggo in a sweater! 

Too cute. 


Of course I did a little bit of reading. 

I am still reading my Halloween Read but I also started on a new book in honour of Non-Fiction November. 

I adore this little Niffler dude on my bookmark. He's most cute. 


The Book of Indian Ghosts by Riksunder Banerjee: I started reading this for Halloween and I am still reading this and loving this deep dive into all kinds of ghosts found in India. Such a good read. 

Cultish by Amanda Montell: My first read for Non-Fiction November is a book that is right up my alley. A book about Cults and especially about the language of Cults and how they are formed and exert the kind of total control they have over their members. It's fascinating and I am really excited to keep reading. 


GOALS FOR NOVEMBER: 

1. Read some good books. 

2. Read a classic through the month. (I still need to decide which one).

3. Read a few non-fiction books. 

4. Celebrate my sister's birthday month properly and happily all month long. 

5. Do something special for my sister mister. 

6. Clean and re-organise my bookshelves...I haven't done this for two years and it's longggg overdue. 

7. Blog more regularly...I have been slacking on blogging lately, I want to get back on track.

I hope November is good for you and me. 

Have a wonderful month ahead Behens!

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

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. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...

Review: Grandma's Bag of Stories by Sudha Murthy.

Book: Grandma's Bag of Stories Author: Sudha Murthy Pages: 176 Read On: Paperback How Long It Took Me Read: 2 hours Plot Summary:   When Grandma opens her bag of stories, everyone gathers Around. Who can resist a good story, especially when it’s being told by Grandma? From her bag emerges tales of kings and cheats, monkeys and mice, bears and gods.

Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them. So come, why don’t you too join in the fun? General Thoughts: I've read quite a few Sudha Murthy books this year and really enjoyed them. I find them soothing, simple a...
