The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves! In the honour of Halloween and all things spooky, I've read a few thrillers, Not as many as I would have liked to but I read some good ones...here is my little list.  Haunt Sweet Home is my most recent read. A home improvement haunted house reality TV show which is mostly fake till some real creepy things start happening. Fun and short and an interesting look at reality TV.  CJ Tudor is an author whose work I enjoy very much. I went into this with very high expectations.  A father and daughter inherit a dream house in an ideal township in the US, picture a Disney like vibe, if Disney made ideal townships that had a million rules. So our Brits move to this town and things are a little off. Fun enough but eventually incredibly obvious and all the reveals and twists were so easy to guess.  My first ever M.L. Rio, this little novella is about a single night and a whole lot of strangeness.  There  are creepy and gore-y things and honestly I do...

 Hello Loves! Just like that September is nearly over!  Didn't it go by so darn fast?  I had a very good reading month 🔮I read 30 books!  Sure some of them were children's books but they totally count!  Here's my books, in no particular order.  The Shampoo Effect by Jenny Jackson: This was such a smooth read, about a young woman who spends a year on a writing fellowship in a small seaside town and that year is marked by falling in love and spending time with her new partner's close group of friends. Its about group dynamics and told from the perspectives of four women, I loved each POV and loved this book so much.  The Museum of Second Chances by Jo Leevers: A book I am currently 63% through and loving. Set in small Cornish town, its about a 61 year old museum curator who runs a maritime curiosities museum that's on the verge of being closed. Enter a group of enthusiastic locals and a motley crew of folks who form new friendships and old secrets are s...

 Still feeling all the post birthday glow.  Here’s what my days have looked like: 

 Today was a fun day.  It's a month to go for my birthday and this day always feels so special. I used to start a countdown to my birthday when I was little.  Now I do something fun.  Today I coloured in a colouring book.  Journaled.  Caught up in my Reading Journal.  Just chill things.  Here's what my day looked like:  Now it's time to watch an old favourite. 

 Hello Loves!  Here are some Friday Joys 🎀🍄❤🎀🍄 Things bringing me joy this Friday:  Stacks of books.  Corners of home.  Sweet heart warming books.  Shelves on my iPad. Made a shelf for January in Japan.  Some new books. 

 Reading has been kinda off lately.  I am not exactly in a reading slump, but nothing I've read in a long time that made me all kinds of happy. Plus, I think I've been watching more things than reading and I really want to change that and get back to my reading like a maniac avatar.  This weekend I am reading something really good that I am excited about.  This Motherless Land by Nikki May: A story of two cousins and several family secrets and drama. Set in Nigeria and UK in the 80s, I am 25% in so far and really loving it.  Our two main characters, Funke and Liv are both extremely likable and real.  I am so happy to spend my weekend reading this book. And spending some time in the 80s.  A little friend keeping me company as I read in bed.
