The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  Daily Diary:  Didn't read at all today. I know shocking.  Got the tiniest idli stand.  Journaled a little bit.  Spoke to my Dad.  Watched some cozy videos. 

 Hello Loves!  A new YouTube video is up on my Channel. All about some new stationery acquisitions. Go see. 

 Hello Loves!  Here are some stationery favorites from this past week 💌 April in my Planner. I use this spread to track my mood.  My daily journal for April is this gorgeous TN from The Black Canvas. I love it.  Mildliners are a forever favourite.  Pages of my gratitude journal.  A cute as can be pencil bag.  She is currently holding a whole bunch of highlighters.  A new floral magnetic bookmark from Riya Designs. 

July is going by in such a hurry!  But it's been such a good month of such little joys.  For me, a month full of rain and clouds and coziness is a blessing.  I have loved every single rainy day we've been blessed with this month.  Here are some other Joys of July.   A big, steaming and flavourful cup of Masala Chai.  A thing of joy. A biscuit to dunk and I am happy as can be.  PS: This mug is an old fave from Amazon.  Pages of my Journal.  I am currently doing my daily journaling in my Passport Sized TN from the Traveler's Company and using one of their inserts as well.  This is my page for July. And I loved how it turned out.  This peachy little number is my favourite mug of the month and a new addition to my mug collection.  This guy is from Nilay Studio and I absolutely love it.  I usually have my second cup of coffee in this mug and it makes me so happy.  Chai and Biscuits and floral bits.  I haven't be...

  And just like that, six months of the year are done and dusted and we step into the second half of the year, which is my favourite half of the year. The festivals, the seasons changing and general air of joy.  I hope this half of the year and kind and bright and full of light and joy for all of us.  :)  I am hoping July is full of rains and books and goodness of all kinds.  I've been making the most of these gorgeous rainy days, drinking chai, reading books and watching some scary movies.  Here is what July has looked like.. Coffee in a pink daisy mug.  I got a little teapot of my dreams, it's tiny and holds around two cups of chai.  I got it from Weaving Homes.  Set up my Planner in this gorgeous A6 sized traveler's notebook from The Black Canvas, I have moved out of my planner, for multiple reasons and am using a Atelier Norah insert. I am so much happier with this move and change. Full planner set-up will be shared soon.  For my dai...

  Hello June!  Hello Rains!  Hello Thunder and Cozy Days full of Reading!  I feel alive when the monsoons come along. I cannot wait for proper rainy days and just chilling and reading some rain appropriate books.  I am so happy you are here June.  Be Good.  Be Kind.  Be Rainy and Wonderful!  ⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈ Today looked a little like this///  First I was feeling all the feelings about June. June for the longest time meant new beginnings, new term of school and kicking off another year of learning and of course the advent of rains.  So I wrote a little something.  June 1st also marks my sister's starting work anniversary so we try to do a little something special and this afternoon we treated ourselves to some Sushi to celebrate.  Sushi and a few dumplings.  :)  Yum Yum.  I also kicked some reading.  I am reading two books at the moment.  The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese: I technically started t...

 Hello, hello, One can never have enough notebooks, right?  So, when we saw these beautiful hand-stitched with three-different-types of paper notebooks launched by the lovely Khyati of The Black Canvas , we simply had to get them! Quick haul and many pics follow :)  Here is how they arrive! Love their black packaging!!  We ordered one in the Slim (fits the standard TN) and one in the A6 size.  This is the 'Hinterland' set and right now there are 4 different prints available! All are lovely!  Look how pretty!!!  Each of them comes with three types of papers- white unlined, kraft and black! So excited to use them in the spring-early summer for journaling.  The paper quality of the cover and the inside pages feels very premium and lovely. I can't wait to get started with my journal next month!  Hope you enjoyed this little haul.  Check out The Black Canvas for more of these notebooks and a bunch of other goodies!  Happy Valentin...

 Hello Loves!  For today's post I want to share my beautiful daily journal from January.  I went all out.  I bought this gorgeous TN from The Black Canvas last year and saved it for 2023 and in January I brought it out in January. I love it so much.  The insert is from a shop called Softly Vintage and has a mix of different kinds of papers, handmade and transparent and regular. The size is a little off. I thought it would fit a standard sized TN but it's slightly big and stuck out slightly but I made it work.  Let's take a little look shall we.  Here she is all her glory.  Love the grain on the leather and the feel of her.  The typewriter just has my whole heart.  A closer look.  Think.  Write. Create.  I also set up a little folder that I had lying around.  Put some stickers and covered it with some papers, all from The Planner Society.  January Journal.  This is a cover of the insert that I decorated....
