The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Here’s what today has looked and felt like:  Setting up my journal for April.  Putting pen to paper.  Reading this incredible book, Stroke of Death by Shampa Roy. It’s a murder mystery set in Bengal in 1904 and in a small village in soon to he East Bengal. A Rajbari and its many inhabitants and a mystery that has me hooked. My weekend reading looks allll sorted!  Painted my nails 💅 with a touch of sparkle.  And this bookmark has my whole heart! 

 This hasn’t been an easy week. Here are some of my silver linings:  A Bengali art inspired bookmark. Coffee and a spooky book.  Coffee with a dollop of ice-cream, blisssss! An alpona bookmark. Fluttering pages. Poirot. 

 Hello April. Hello Nobo Borsho. Hello reading Bengali Books all month. Here’s what my first day of the month looked like… Made a TBR.  Read a little.  Drank coffee out of a spooky mug. Felt happy.  All good things. 

 March felt too long and yet managed to whizz by. I spent two weeks sick and miserable. Read very little. Ate some delicious food. Had bouts of anxiety. Watched some excellent films. Overall, March was a good month.  Here is what my month looked like: 

 I love Thursdays. I just do.  Here’s what this Thursday looked like:  A little reading. Snacks.  Coffee. Dusting, Mumbai is soooo dusty and my books and things are coated in this fine layer of dust every morning.  Cute bookmark and pencil. New (from my stash) journal.
