The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

  Hello Loves!  We've fallen for the trendy, very in Pouch Journals.  We've made three so far, and by me I mean my sister. She makes them and I decorate them.  First we made the small one, which I'm using as my Hospital Journal to jot down the memories of my 22 day hospital stay.  Then we made the big one that holds my current read and my Book Buddy~ a journal for my honest, unhinged bookish thoughts.  My two precious journal covers.  I love how they've turned out.  A closer look at the stickers.  I've used my Book Journal Pouch everyday since I've acquired it.  Its perfect to hold my reading supplies- like highlighters, page flags and sticky notes and a few pens and pencils.  It's a great way tote around your current reads and your annotation things.  One of my notebooks from my smaller pouch journals.  These are so easy to make, find a tutorial on IG and find supplies from  Amazon  Scooboo  And make yourse...

 I am so in love with my journal this month!  It’s so adorable!!!  The TN is from The Black Canvas.  The folio is from The Bicyclist Stories. 

 Hello Loves! Set up my April daily journal, picked a katha stitch notebook from my stash and it’s the perfect notebook to celebrate Bengali New Year 🌸 Here’s a look: 

  Hello Loves!  As per tradition (in my little world) my February journal is from Kikkik. I still have a handful of these left and use them sparingly.  Here is how I decorated my grey little notebook. 

 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!  Shared the perfect Year End Journaling Spread Idea over on my YouTube channel. Go see. 

 Hello Loves.  I've finally started decorating my planners and journals for 2025.  This morning I set up Blog Planner, which is a simple and classic Field's Notes notebook.  Here's a little look:  Planner Setting Up is my favourite thing in the world. ❤

 Hello Loves!  Have you picked out your planner for 2025? After a lot of thinking and overthinking I finally decided on using something from my stash. Something I love and I know for sure I’ll enjoy. It’s a La Dolce Vita undated diary which I was initially going to use as a Gratitude Journal but now she’ll be my Life Planner. Here is what she looks like~  I am so in love. I can’t wait to get started and using this in 2025. Will share my set up and decor soon. 

 Hello Loves!  Shared my updated and final Planner Lineup for 2025 over on my YouTube channel. Go see…

 Hello Loves!  I spent my morning with my Journal & Planner lineup for 2025.  There is nothing quite like having Planner Peace.  Here is a look at some tinnnyyyy journals I have lined up for the first quarter of 2025.  A classic Field Notes Memo Book for my Blog Planner.  I will be setting it up and sharing what it looks like with you soon.  A tiny Pocket Notes notebook from Piko store as my Film and Shows journal.  I love how tiny and petite my line up is looking . A tiny notepad from La Dolce Vita to use in my planner.  A linen covered journal from a brand called Kitabby (found on Amazon) that’s going to be my Reading Journal.  Sitting cozy in a little crochet bag, that is a new addition to my life too.
