The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Spent my morning, moving my books around and sprucing up my space. Pretty much my favourite thing in the world to do.  Piles of stories to get lost in.  Books I am hoping to read this year.  This makes me so happy.  I love cleaning and organising so much.  A pretty space is good for my soul.  Used this indigo stole to cover my side table.  Some Ray merch to make my corner pop. 

 Hello Loves!  Finally setup my Reading Journal for 2025. It's a tiny, pocket sized notebook that will probably last me the first three months of the year. Maybe less. But I wanted to go smaller and more compact this year and hence this size and setup.  Let's see how it looks:  The cover: hints of lace and papers and stickers. I really want to incorporate more cloth/lace in my journal decor this year.  The first pages, it was plain white and I wanted to add more character to it.  And more bookish coziness.  Hoping for endless bookish all year round.  January Pages & Goals.  Made a place for my TBR.  And finally a place to write about everything  I read this month.  I am very pleased with how this turned out. And I am so happy to document my books and thoughts about said books here. 

 Hello Loves!  Spent all of my Sunday setting up more of my journals and planners for next year.  I am knee deep in stationery joy.  Here's a little look:  This is a Black Canvas insert that I am going to use as my January Journal.  I went allllll out and made it cute as can be.  A close-up.  Also decorated a Common Place Book.  My first one ever and I am curious as how I go about using it.  In other exciting stationery News, my sister surprised me with a Calendar for 2025. Look how cute.  It's from a shop called Stay Noted. 

 Hello Loves!  I've had a slow and chill day.  Read a little.  Cooked simple things.  Had yummy coffee.  And looked back at some old pictures and memories.  Mostly from 2021, and the winter in my small town and living with my parents and making my room there festive as can be.  So here are some memories from  December 2021.  My book and light filled room in my parents home. A good time, even though back then I probably was waiting for brighter time and better days. Funny how life works, when you are in the middle of living your life you keep hoping for something better or more exciting and when that time goes by..you look back nostalgically.  Well... Here's some good days from 2021.  Every night I'd light some candles and read or watch something on my laptop.  The room would be warm and cozy and I'd be under my quilt and life felt so good.  Good times. 

 Hello Loves! 💛 This Sunday was full of sunshine, list making and coffee drinking and rest.  A good, slow day.  Here's what today looked like:  Made a ton of bookish favourites lists.  So hopefully starting tomorrow you'll get all of my top 2024 bookish recommendations.  A stack of books 📚 I've bought recently.  Watching Journaling videos on YouTube and spending time with my Blog Planner.  Sunshine early in the morning.  Don't you just love December?  I love having every corner of home looking so darn festive and cheery.  My current very season appropriate bookmark🔖 

 Hello Loves!  Today was one of those days. Not the best, not the worst.  Just a day. My Mum's not doing too good and I  am worried and sad and gloomy.  Tried to distract myself...  Added some more Christmas decorations to the flat and put up some of my beloved Christmas art.  Trying to make my home as cozy as can be. 

 Hello Loves 🎄 I love this time of the year and how every corner of home (almost) is spruced up and looking festive.  Here's some light from my home to yours. 

 Hello Loves!  Today was equal parts chill and equal parts insanely frustrating.  There was planner time, pancakes and fun conversations and then there was putting up my Christmas tree and that just went haywire! Our tree had a broken foot and kept falling over but with a lot of good old fashioned jugaad, we managed to hold her up!  Uff.  But it took over 3 hours and a lot of sweat and tears and brains!  But at least she's up now.  Will share pictures of her tomorrow because I am toooo tired to try to take some decent pictures.  Here's what today looked like:  Hope you had a merry day 😊
