The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  Here is a look at some of my favourite planner pages from 2024!  This was week one. Started the year strong. My planner looking pretty as can be. I loved my April pages so much. Stickers and washi tape were my favourite things to use.  And tinyyy aesthetic stickers had my whole heart. I really enjoyed my planner this year. It worked well for me and kept me happy. Yet at the same time I am happy to move on and use a different style of planner in 2025.  Will share my 2025 Planner Line Up soon. 

 Hello Loves! 💛 This Sunday was full of sunshine, list making and coffee drinking and rest.  A good, slow day.  Here's what today looked like:  Made a ton of bookish favourites lists.  So hopefully starting tomorrow you'll get all of my top 2024 bookish recommendations.  A stack of books 📚 I've bought recently.  Watching Journaling videos on YouTube and spending time with my Blog Planner.  Sunshine early in the morning.  Don't you just love December?  I love having every corner of home looking so darn festive and cheery.  My current very season appropriate bookmark🔖 

 Hello Loves!  Today was equal parts chill and equal parts insanely frustrating.  There was planner time, pancakes and fun conversations and then there was putting up my Christmas tree and that just went haywire! Our tree had a broken foot and kept falling over but with a lot of good old fashioned jugaad, we managed to hold her up!  Uff.  But it took over 3 hours and a lot of sweat and tears and brains!  But at least she's up now.  Will share pictures of her tomorrow because I am toooo tired to try to take some decent pictures.  Here's what today looked like:  Hope you had a merry day 😊

 Hello Loves 🌝  Here are some recent stationery loves of mine:  A pouch to hold an edit of my pens and some supplies.  This one is from The Black Canvas and I love it so much.  A bunch of Muji Pens and Sarasa Snoopy pens. Forever faves both of these.  I love Kaweco Ink Pens.  Small, compact and so easy on the hands.   A thing of beauty.  Contents of my sticker and stationery supply box. This is a small edit I made in the beginning of the year and have added to it as I’ve used up my supplies.  The box my 2024 Ink Bucket planner came in. I used it as a storage box for some planner bits. 

 Hello Loves!  Time to list some favourites from this week.  First and foremost is the epic finale of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum ❤ This show has my whole heart. And the finale made me soooo happy.  Now on to some other stuff I loved.  Planner Moments.  I took a full break from my planner in October, for no real reason.  So coming into November, I came back to my planner with a lot of enthusiasm.  My evening coffee and planner time.  A new cup for coffee. ☕ Love the dainty florals.  Put out a new bookmark as a pop of decor and colour in my favourite corner.  Trees in bloom.  Iced Coffee even though it's November.  Is it cold where you are?  Here in Mumbai it's still warm in the days and thankfully a little colder at night.  Hoping and praying for a good winter.  Spooky mug 👻 

 Hello all, If you've been wondering what planner to get for 2025, perhaps my review of the planners I have used this year might give you some ideas?  This year, my planning system was so streamlined and so good that I had to get on YouTube and share my thoughts on my system!  Do go watch, if you need some planner recommendations and inspiration!  Click on the video below to watch!

 Hello Loves!  I have taken a bit of a break on the blog.  I didn't mean to but life and mood and mental health got in the way.  Life felt..not so great.  But there was books, shows, films, some rain and bits of festivity and small joys.  Here's what August looked like in my corner of the world.  My favourite book from the month. A story of family, displacement, history and survival. If you love family sagas, you'll adore this.  Coffee & Planner Moments kept me sane this month, as always.  Janmasthami was celebrated 🎉🎊 Books were moved around.  Shelves were organised.  Planner Pages.  Loved how my planner looked this month.  Celebrated my half-birthday, ate cake and felt happy.  Kindle in my old favourite cover.  A tin of joy.  Honestly, more books should come in tins.  Books & Bookmarks.  A cute bookmark always makes me happy.  Loved my journal this month.  Loved it soooo much....
