The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 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...

 Hello March!  Be Kind. Be Good. Be Gentle. Maa ❤️ A little reading. Some citrus.  Maa’s birthday. Feeling a little under the weather. 

 Hello Loves!  Hope you're having a good first weekend of the year.  I read a little, rested up and watched some old Feluda films. Started a new book and even brought out my special markers to highlight. 📖 All good things. 

 Hello Loves!  Still recovering from my swollen gums and pain. Finding a lot of solace in my planners and re-watching some Byomkesh films and starting my first book of the year.  Simple joys.  I am having so much fun with my planners.  Goopy and Bagha to kick start my yearly reading. 📖 

 Hello Loves and a very, very Happy New Year to you 🌟🎊🎉🎀🎉🎊🌟 I hope 2025 treats you & me with kindness and brings us peace and joy.  My day began with my beautiful planners and journals and I wrote my yearly goals and made some lists (you know that makes me happy!).  A great way to start my year and a new month.  Last night we had a chill night in.  Started the year with some cake and by watching Feluda, the classic Sonar Kella.  Can't think of a better way to start my year than with Ray.  My word for the year is Grace.  I want to give myself so much more Grace and also give Grace to the World and People around me.  I know it's possibly overrated but I love new beginnings and the promise of a fresh start.  I love stepping into a new year and starting new planners and journals and setting goals.  I like doing a reset.  I love new years.  Had coffee in a new mug.  I love my calander for the year.  And I s...

  October is doing it's usual thing.  It's whizzing up in a blur of festivities, being busy and gorgeous sunsets.  Life as usual.  Here is what life has looked like lately.  Love gazing out my window every evening.  Finally reading Dracula and it's surprisingly accessible and easy to jump into. The plan is to finish it and then watch a film adaptation.  Picture books bringing me comfort.  Added some cozy mysteries to my TBR.  Craving for some proper autumn weather.  Re-read a book.  All good things 🌞🌿🌞 Hope October has been treating you well. 

  Made myself a very ambitious TBR for July.  I'll be happy if I make it to most or some of these amazing books.  Some of these I've read before, and I'm due a re-read.  I am so glad I pulled these books from my shelves, there's nothing quite like shopping from my shelves 📖 

  Some favourite bookish moments from this week. Some respite in an otherwise meh week.  I haven't read all that much all week, barely a 100 pages but just the sight of my books is enough to keep me in good spirits.
