This December I want to do something a little special on the blog. 
I want to post everyday, apart from my regular posts like reviews, Monday Moods and Friday  Favourites and TBRs and Book Hauls. I want a post a day to document my day and share some special festive posts. A Blogmas...inspired by Vlogmas on Youtube which is one my favourite things to watch, to see how people are living and the things they are doing. 
I want to achieve a little something similar with Blogmas. 
To capture my December in all of it's little and big joys. 

 Day 1 ⇸⇸⇸ Today my day was a slow ride. 

I did manage to read a whole book on my Kindle-- The Leaving Season by Cat Jordan. A YA contemporary about first love and loss and then finding love with the last person you thought was compatible with you.

Plot Summary: Middie Daniels calls it the leaving season: the time of year when everyone graduates high school, packs up their brand-new suitcases, and leaves home for the first time.
This year Middie's boyfriend, Nate, is the one leaving, heading to Central America for a year of volunteering after graduation. And once he returns, it'll be time for Middie to leave, too. With him. But when tragedy strikes, Middie's whole world is set spinning. No one seems to understand just how lost she is . . . except for Nate's slacker best friend, Lee. Middie and Lee have never gotten along. But with the ground ripped out from under her, Middie is finding that up is down—and that Lee Ryan might be just what she needs to find her footing once more.
It was fun and sweet and well written. And a very quick and engaging read. A good solid read. I quite enjoyed it and it's characters, especially Lee- who was sweet and fun and real.
Rating: 3.5/5 




Apart from this I also ate delicious Aloo Parathas.
And for dinner the plan is to make some Pasta in red sauce with mince and veggies. 
I am excited.
Plus tonight I plan on watching the finale of The Missing-- a series I highly recommend. 

I also got a delightful package from Ajio in the mail.
Haul coming soon! 
:) 

That was my day so far. 
A good way to kick off December. 

Be Good December.
Be Kind.
Be Festive.
Be Safe.
