The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 July begins quietly, full of humidity and sweet mangoes. New plushie friends and hoping for rain! 

 Just another Manic Monday. 

 Hello February 🪻🌸🪻🍀🌸🍀🪻🌸🪻 Hello my favourite month ever is here! I hope you are kind and happy and gentle and good February! I no longer feel super excited about my birthday but something about stepping into this month makes me happy. I hope this month I can do the things that make me happy and have a good birthday. Last February was the worst! I had the worst birthday month ever and I hope this time around I am shown a kinder time. I had a pretty good day.  Had coffee in a new mug. Watched a few films. Cleaned my home (in prep for Saraswati Puja).  And got some happy mail as well.  Here’s a look at today.  New book to read this month. &  A tiny purse. Very Chanel ✨inspired ✨.  I  am going to use her to store my charging cables.  A new friend. I am going to call her Baegoonie. In honour of Beguni (a brinjal fry from Bengali cuisine).  Love this little mug. Book Mail ✉️  Three books I am so excited to read soon!  I ...

 Hello Loves!  Happy Makar Sankranti, Pongal and Bihu to everyone who celebrates.  We made ourselves some Puli Payesh and I ate some chikki to eat gud and speak sweetly for the rest of the year.  Hope you had a lovely festive day.  Here's what my day looked like:  I love chikki so much.  Need to remember that and eat more of it.  My planner sits cozy in this sleeve.  Sunkissed journals of mine.  A happy mess.  A corner of my bedroom.  My current read, which I am hoping to read more of tonight.  Cute little friends. 

 Hello Loves!  Time for another batch of Friday Faves from my corner of the world.  Here's everything I loved this week.  Rainy pages in my gratitude journal.  The Lion Women of Tehran by  Marjan Kamali, finished reading this amazing book earlier this morning and I loved it.  It's full of heart and incredible women.  So good.  Do pick it up.  I also adored The Stationery Shop by the same author back when I read it, so this one I knew I had to read and I knew I would love.  Chai and Chai themed bookmarks.  I have been loving my gratitude journal lately and I've been lowkey using this as my daily journal as well.  Quite enjoyed Kakuda, a horror comedy now streaming on Zee 5. It was funny, spooky and sweet in parts.  Washed these two plushies and they are as good as new. 

 Subho Nobo Borsho my Loves.  Today is Poila Boishak, aka Bengali New Year.  And it was a quiet day of celebrating.  It was too hot to wear something fancy, but we are supposed to wear something new so I wore a new tee-shirt.  Started a new book.  And ate a ton of fruits to cool down.  I don't know about you but I cannot with this heat 🔥 Here's what my day looked like today..  Cozy Frog 🐸 Babies.  Current Read 🕵‍♀️🕵🕵‍♀️🕵 Ray on New Years 🥰 Warm Wishes from her and me.  New tee 😍  Dobby forever 🥰 Blooms 🌺

  Hope you had a lovely Holi.  I haven't actively played Holi in years.  My Holi consisted of eating yum food and gujiyas. And listening to some classic Holi tunes that the building opposite mine was, blasting 😆 Here are some bits of colour from my life lately.  Bookmarks.  A plethora of markers that I love.  New ebooks.  Ice-Cream Sundaes.  Some new summer clothes.  Plushies and Books.  Art in picture books. ❤

 March Begins.  With gentle days. Books. Coffee. Organising my Book Cart. Spring Cleaning.  & Joy ✨🌿✨ Moments of calm and peace.  A saffron candle from Ekatra.  A stack of March hopefuls.  And a cup of coconut water.  My pretty book mark and my gorgeous current read that I am really enjoying.  Some ( a lot) new additions to my elibrary.  Spring Book Releases making me so excited.  All I want to do is read and read and read.  A sweet little friend. 💛🐘💛
