Pouch Journal Cover: Big & Small.

  Hello Loves!  We've fallen for the trendy, very in Pouch Journals.  We've made three so far, and by me I mean my sister. She makes them and I decorate them.  First we made the small one, which I'm using as my Hospital Journal to jot down the memories of my 22 day hospital stay.  Then we made the big one that holds my current read and my Book Buddy~ a journal for my honest, unhinged bookish thoughts.  My two precious journal covers.  I love how they've turned out.  A closer look at the stickers.  I've used my Book Journal Pouch everyday since I've acquired it.  Its perfect to hold my reading supplies- like highlighters, page flags and sticky notes and a few pens and pencils.  It's a great way tote around your current reads and your annotation things.  One of my notebooks from my smaller pouch journals.  These are so easy to make, find a tutorial on IG and find supplies from  Amazon  Scooboo  And make yourse...

Books I’m Reading Now.

 Hello Loves!  My reading habits have changed quite a bit.  I used to be a book monogamist, I only ever read one book at a time and couldn't imagine reading any other way. I saw other folks read a huge stack at books in one go and wondered how they did it.. Cut to now and my monogamous nature..when it comes to books have changed quite a bit.  Now I read a couple of books at a time.  I am currently reading three books this week.  I have my morning read: my daytime read if you will.  I am reading: Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson, which is literary whodunnit set in 1954.  The book's written in 1995 and something about a book written in the 90s is just hitting the spot.  It took me sometime to get into this book but I'm currently a 100 pages in and really enjoying it.  This is my evening read: Elizabeth and her German Garden by Elizabeth Von Arnim.  A classic about a woman's love for nature and her garden and books and thriving...

The Life I Miss So Much!

 I've been away from home, Mumbai for over a year now. I came to my hometown in June 2025 when Maa passed away. Then in October I got my stroke and got paralyzed and any plans of going back home got indefinitely delayed. Now I don't even know when we'll go back. I miss home with a such severe longing..I miss my books, my stationery, my journals and my life.  I miss my books so much. I wish I could somehow I could teleport to Mumbai for an hour and grab some of my books to bring them with me.  I miss my bags. Not like I'm going anywhere but it would be nice to be with my bags.  And I miss little treats now and again. And I miss all to food from home.  I miss my quiet reading and journaling days.  And my miss coffeeshop reading 🎀 Hopefully I get better soon and go back to my ordinary and blissful life 💗  

Look who's Back!

 Hello, its me, your resident bookworm. I am still here, still around. Still healing. Still recovering from my brain stroke. It's nearly been a year, I'm slowly getting back to normal.  Life has been going on, I've been reading, journaling, moving my out of wack body and trying to manifest a future where I am somewhat normal again. My old life seems so far away sometimes. The life in Mumbai somedays feels like a dream, a fever dream. Hopefully I can find myself back to that old version of myself.  Here is journal eco-system for 2026.  My planner, my journal and my reading journal. I will do a detailed post on my very minimal system soon. I have really simplified my planner stack this year, mostly out go necessity. But I am quite pleased with how things turned out.  A stack of my beloved books. A TBR pile I made for August.  I haven't blogged since June! I meant to but most days I get tired by evening and just want to read and hangout with my Baba and sister...

New Pencil Pouch 🎀

  Hello! Moved into a new, very roomy pencil bag tonight 😊 While writing is still a bit of a struggle since my stroke, I’ve started writing a little everyday and I’m hoping my hand gets better soon and I can finally get back to writing, journaling and annotating my books. Here’s a look my precious pens 🥰 The tiny pouches are from Choti Si Asha The new one is from an IG store called Veora. It was kindly sent as a freebie by the seller with some booksleeves I ordered (will share those soon). 

Well Hello There 🫠

 Long time no see! I’ve been busy healing and recuperating after my brain stroke. It’s slow, but by the grace of God steady! Blogging just slipped off the radar and since it’s June and my Blog’s Birthday I thought I’d drop by and say Hi!  I am out of bed and slowly walking around. My motor functions are getting better. I am reading again 🧿 Life is different but I am grateful to still be here! And o miss this corner of the Internet soooo much. So I’m hoping to slowly find my way back to life and my blog.  Hope you are still around and join me on my bookish adventures ✨🩵💌📚📖🔖🩵✨

Quiet Reading Days.

 January has begun cold and quiet and bookish-my. Spending my days under my quilt and reading my books and life feels pretty good.
