The Autumnal Bookish Tag
I absolutely love doing bookish tags as much as I love reading everyone else’s answers. With autumn being my favourite season, it comes as no surprise that I love autumnal inspired bookish tags more than anything else. Also no surprise I did one previously: The Cosy Autumn Book Tag But since then, it has been two long years, and I wanted to do another one except this one is a little different. I saw so many wonderful book tags that I wanted to try, but there were so many good ones I couldn’t decide, so I did a combination of a few. So here is my version of this book…

Book Review – The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber
I ran, well walked but very quickly, to my local bookstore to pick up this book on publication day! I even did a cute little reel (my first one!) on my insta which you can check out: @mariamsbookmark This book is EVERYTHINGGG… Honestly one of the best that I read this year and reminded me, as if I needed reminding, why it was my most anticipated release this autumn! I loved it so much that I read it all in one sitting, no breaks for the bathroom or food or anything… even after I finished it, I sat there quietly staring at the wall, panicking on the inside about how…

Book Review – The Drowned Woods by Emily Llyod-Jones
I can’t even express how happy I am to be back writing a book review! Besides almost every other bookish thing on this blog, my other fav thing to post is book reviews. Being able to gush or express my emotions from reading a book that either gripped me or maybe, sadly, didn’t and discuss it with other readers is what I think most book bloggers do this for! The Drowned Woods was published last month and it made its way into my September TBR. I mean look at that gorgeous cover and tell me it’s not making its way onto your TBR too? Note: this is a non-spoilery review…

Writing Journey| Big Updates, New Outlook, and Inspo for Book 1
September 5th 2022 7:03 am Hi Everyone and Happy Monday! Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone for all the encouragement, love, and such nice words on my new and improved blog.

I am also very excited to be jumping back into writing and documenting the progress, the fears, and the wins. If you’re new and don’t really know what the ‘writing’ section of my blog is or if you’ve always been here and haven’t seen one of these posts…

Welcome to Mariam’s Bookmark + September TBR
Hi Everyone! I am almost too excited to be writing this, I actually needed to take a few breaks just writing the title!! Welcome to Mariam’s Bookmark! If you’ve been here a while, you know this blog operated under a different name – Realm of Bookish Beauty. While I loved that name and the entire blog as a whole, I found myself caught up in life, dealing with my mental health, and so many other things that kept me from really doing what I love – reading books and writing about it! I decided to change a few things, develop new habits, approach my mental health with positivity, and seeking…
