The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

  November begins with slow days, softer nights, sweet treats and light and sparkle and reading good books.  🙏 Hoping and praying that the rest of November is just as kind and good. 🙏

 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. 

 Reading has been kinda off lately.  I am not exactly in a reading slump, but nothing I've read in a long time that made me all kinds of happy. Plus, I think I've been watching more things than reading and I really want to change that and get back to my reading like a maniac avatar.  This weekend I am reading something really good that I am excited about.  This Motherless Land by Nikki May: A story of two cousins and several family secrets and drama. Set in Nigeria and UK in the 80s, I am 25% in so far and really loving it.  Our two main characters, Funke and Liv are both extremely likable and real.  I am so happy to spend my weekend reading this book. And spending some time in the 80s.  A little friend keeping me company as I read in bed. 

 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 👻 

 Trying to find a moment of peace and ways to soothe myself on a stressful day.  Read a bit.  Sipped my coffee.  A cute/fave corner of home.  A good book.  An old beloved bookmark.  ///Things that bring me comfort. ///

 Spent some time today setting up my journal for November.  Here's a little look:  I love the colours and tones of this set-up.  Nothing relaxes me like spending time with my journal. 📓💛📓
