My younger one started school this month. She had been home far longer than expected and so this development was welcome and a bit surreal. On the day we, she and I, went to check out schools at some point she walked into a classroom and refused to come out. There wasn't a farewell or a goodbye kiss. Hell, I could have done even with a lingering glance. Between her and I, it was me whom her principal was counselling. 😂 I guess this is how birds fly from home- one day nestled between your wings, chittering away a thousand stories and the next soaring towards their own skies, unbelievably certain, unwittingly innocent. So the first day I stayed till school got over. The second too- what if she needed me? She didn't. I have a peninsula of calm that I didn't know how to explore. I didn't remember the last time I had an hour to myself. Now half a day, stretches before me. I haunt the cafes around when the kids are in school. Surprisingly, my part of the city is generous to its artists. I nurse just a mere cup of coffee and read and write and no one disturbs me- they don't present the cheque, they don't even ask if I want something else. They leave me alone. Absolutely. One even offered to open its doors at 8 am, if only I could get going that early. I was speechless, just a smut of a smile in lieu of such indulgence. But then again I shouldn't have been shocked- I have survived in life mostly on the kindness of strangers and generosity of their acts, each one so magnanimous in its thought and effort. And so, I also thank you- for being in my circle of life. When I started out, it was only with the intent to chronicle my reading journey. To find people to whom stories and words mattered. Who would share a part of their life in responding to what I wrote here. Thank you for indulging me. #writingjourney #writersuniverse #bookblogger #bookishthoughts #bookstagramnewbie #bookcollector #bookobssesed #coffeeandbooks #delhibookstagrammer #delhibookstafam #indianbookstagram #indianreader #indianbookstagrammer #booksandwriting #bookstagramfeatures #readersread #alwaysreading #neverwithoutabook #nevernotreading #indianwriters #bookishflatlay #raw_books (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCUZoGrArb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Random. Here’s an idea for those of you who love the idea of book journals, but aren’t a fan of the regimented style of one-book-per-page or are overwhelmed by the possibilities provided by bullet journaling: go old school! 

Step 1: Grab a blank (lined or not) notebook -leftover from school days or buy/find one with an awesome design/theme. Step 2: Write to your heart’s content! Can be a few sentences or 10 pages. You write for you.

What do I do? Of course, I date all of my entries, but I also make a heading when I start writing about a new book. Do I give a summary? Almost never -just my thoughts. I make page notations so I can write my reactions to a specific phrase, passage, or happening rather than just an overview of the entire story. Basically, status updates lol. Sometimes, I’ll just do a general “diary” entry if the spirit moves me to put down my thoughts (usually pertaining to reading). Mostly, the entries are like extended Goodreads updates. Oh, and I only write in pencil! ✏ 

Why? It all started as an assignment in my senior year of college as a method for the professor to track our reading -and our understanding of how it pertained to the class. It struck me as ingenious and I adapted it for pleasure reading. I highly recommended this to people in book clubs! 

It also serves as a way to de-stress (life, your read, whatever). I find it very therapeutic☺️

Do you write in a journal?✍

Take a look at our latest book:

Beacon Lights of History is a 14-volume set first published in 1902. This collection of John Lord’s lectures spans 6,000 years of European and American history. The first 12 volumes are all Lord’s work; the 13th was completed from his notes and the 14th is follow-ups by other authors. (Imprint: SNOVA)

"There is true in stories. There is truth in one of your paintings boy, or in a sunset or a couplet from Homer. Fiction is truth, even if it's not a fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die" -Lord of Shadows, Cassandra Clare • • • Today felt like a Cassandra Clare quote kind of day and since I'm in love with Lord of Shadows why not take the opportunity? If I'm being real Lord of shadows in second on my top 3 Shadowhunter books (First obviously goes to Clockwork Princess and third to Clockwork angel 😋) but aside from that, there's not much to say except to comment on the fact that I may be at the start of a slump so I'm taking my time and slowly going through Deathly Hallows, no pressure at all. Also I think I've run out of bookish pictures but I may have enough for this week, I think I'll take some new ones on Saturday but we'll see. • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookquotes #bookquote #bookishquote #bookishquotes #bookquoteoftheday #bookishday #booksandcoffee #booksandwriting #lordofshadows #bookporn #booksbooksandmorebooks #bookshelfporn #ilovebooks #bookworm #bookishlife #lifeofareader #problemsofabooklover #problemsofabooknerd #bookishlove #booklover #booklover #ilovebooks

I had a frank & utterly delightful conversation w/my friend Josh on his #literary #podcast Should you read before you die? Listen to our in-depth discussion of Denis Johnson’s #novel Jesus’ Son here: http://bit.ly/denisjohnsonpodcast

How to Starve Cancer is truly a seminal book that joins between Jane McLeLLand’s battle against cancer and some of her astounding discoveries to starve the invincible predator.

I definitely recommend this book especially for people interested in finding some cures or setbacks for cancer as McLeLLand specifies several supplements, treatments, exercises, etc. that help a patient win his fight. She also illustrates how she was able to balance between her personal life (marriage, responsibilities,...) and her treatments, which is truly mind blowing and inspiring.

Great book!

@books-and-writing:

Oh my god this is the best thing anyone has ever said about me. I think you maybe forgot about the part where I walked into the room and announced: “you know what the best feeling in the world is? Taking off your bra at night.”

You were the very best thing about high school and Calgary in general; in other words: you are like a plague and you have ruined my life and yet I just keep coming back 😉❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘

Love you boo!

what can i say? you’re my point of reference. my guide. & you always become the center of my chart... err... memories, i mean.

also, was that during our first sleepover or in mr. doak’s room / the art room at lunch? i remember that happening on multiple occasions, lbr. 😉 but to be fair, i’ve always agreed with you.

love you, too, babe. beyond hope. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘
