Hello March! ~Spring is Here~ Current Read + Goals + Journal.


Hello March! 

Hello Spring! 

Hello Mild Day (before the onslaught of summer!) 

Hello Hello! 

March is here and I have so much to do this month! 

Starting with reading only women writers for #FemmeMarch. A reading theme I enjoy and honestly its easy AF to follow through. I guess 80% of all books I own and read are by women writers. So this is not even a challenge. 

To start my reading off for March with Educated by Tara Westover. 


I got this book back when it first came out and took the world by storm. I read around 5% back then and then it lay unread all this time. I picked it up earlier this morning, while deciding what I wanted to read next and I was hooked! I am currently at 46% and it's worth the hype. It's infuriating, sad and strange to read about a family, about parents that can be so wilfully negligent, almost cruel and just so  different from anything I've ever had to experience myself (thank-God!). I guarantee this book will make you want to kiss your parents for raising you the ordinary way. 
I am so glad I am finally reading this book! 


I also decorated my journal for March. 
I have been journaling a whole lot recently and it brings me so much joy and peace, especially on less than perfect days. 
Most of the supplies here are from La Dolce Vita, The Planner Society and other Etsy and Ali Express shops.

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so.

Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's most well kn

Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them. So come, why don’t you too join in the fun? General Thoughts: I've read quite a few Sudha Murthy books this year and really enjoyed them. I find them soothing, simple a
