The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  September comes to an end.  It was a month of many unusual reading sojourns for me.  For one I read some Russian Literature.  Then for one week straight, I read a romance novel every night.  I also didn't read a single book from India this month. Not one. And if you know me at all, you know that is not common around these parts. At all. I don't even have a specific reason for doing so, it's just something that happened.  I also didn't buy a single book.  I read a book on my iPad after years and was reminded of how much I love it.  I read 19 books in total and had a very happy reading month.  So let's just jump into it.  Here is everything I read in September and my thoughts and little reviews.  BOOKS OF SEPTEMBER 2022:  1. The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky: I started my month with a classic. My first proper foray into Russian Lit. My first full length novel from a Russian master. I have, so far in life only ev...

 Hello Loves!  It's been forever since I did one of this posts and documented my weekend reading on the blog.  Let's fix that shall we?  I've been in such a mood to re-read lately, maybe it has something to do with being reunited with my books after nearly two years. I am looking at my shelves and picking old loves to spend time with. I am loving it.  :)  This is the lot I am hoping to read these next few days.  Five Go To Smuggler's Top by Enid Blyton: It's been two years since I read any Famous Five. So I am more than ready to jump back into this world. I remember pretty much nothing about this book, not surprising since I read this when I was ten. So this will feel brand new. I am all set to get cozy and read this adventure filled caper and hang out with some old faves.  Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie: This is also a re-read. My Dad is finally watching all the Agatha Christie shows (its available on Sony Liv) and I had to pick up a book to k...

Hello! This little blog of mine, this little labour of love turned 6 this year.  6!  In June to be specific, my blog turned a year older. Every year, for my blog birthday I like to treat myself to some special books. Books that have been on my radar for a while, books I have been dreaming of and so on and so forth.  This year the beginning of June saw me sick with the flu. I was so out of it, I completely forgot that it was my blog birthday. I realised on the 4th of June and then went on to feel like a guilty mother or some such.  I wondered what I'd do to treat myself?  Then the answer came to me in a blinding flash.  Famous Five.  These books are my childhood in a nutshell.  The first books that I read on my own and ones I eagerly sought out in my school library. But ones I never owned. I think we, sister and I, own only two out of the 21 books. Those were bought with my sister's General Proficiency money and are so preciou...
