The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  Here are some recent faves:  Cozy and introvert friendly things.  December is allll about that cozy life and I just want to seek out comfort and joy and slow down.  Presents under the 🌲 tree.  Grateful and happy for the little treats.  New books 📚 on my eshelves.  Current Comfort Read.  Always hits the spot.  Christmassy corners of home and alll the joy they bring.  Happy Friday the 13th my loves.  I've already seen three spooky films:  The Well, on Prime is more gore than scares.  Grudge and Grudge 2, also on Prime were re-watches I enjoyed very much. Mostly because I don't think I've ever seen these films since I saw them first back in the early aughts.  Also started watching The Ring again and that's a classic.  The plan is to watch some more spooky films and make the most of this Friday 👻 the 13th and a full moon 🌕. 

 Hello Loves 🎄 Today was cold, properly cold. By Mumbai standards it was nicely crisp and cold. My fan was off and I sat under a sheet and read my book and felt good about life.  Here's what today looked like:  Sunkissed notebook.  Tree looking fab.  Filmed a YouTube video. Should be up soon.  Read a little.  Avo toast.  A good day 🔮

 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. 

❤🎄 ❤ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  I hope these last days of the year are wonderful for you and me.  I hope you've had a wonderful and joyous and fun and festive Christmas.  I hope it was everything you needed it to be.  I had a good day. There was plum cake, guava cheese and chakli and other Goan snacks.  I watched an Agatha Christie Christmas mystery- Poirot's Christmas.  I ate some sweet strawberries dipped in Nutella.  I read a tiny amount.  I opened presents.  So grateful for today.  🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 It was just what I wanted.  Hope your Christmas has been Merry too.  :)  Sending you cheer from my corner of the world to yours.  Merry Christmas! 

 Hello Loves!  Today started not good.  I was alll up in my feelings and feeling like shit.  So I took a nap and woke up feeling motivated to do something good. I cooked myself a comfort meal, a Bengali meal. Made some simple mooshurir dal and shade aloor torkari.  And we finally put up our tree.  🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Here are some glimpses of the sweet things from today.  This year I decided I wanted some bows on my tree.  I can't find my favourite Christmas ornaments, which I last saw in 2019 January. I am so heartbroken but what can you do?? I've just misplaced them.  So I wanted to add something new to my little tree.  My sister made these bows for me, we had a whole roll of silver glitter ribbons from Staples in Bangalore, that I bought back in 2010 or something.  Old baubles.  So much light.  The rooms looks and feels so warm and lovely instantly.  Snowflakes.  I love having the tree up and lit and done and it make...
