Books I Want to Read July 2023
Another month, another careful curation of books I want to read! I’m not entirely sure why I have more of a desire to read in the summer months, I think it definitely stems from having summers off from school growing up, so I would try to devour every and any book before the school year returned with it’s exams and homework. Either way, I am not complaining because this month some highly anticipated releases will finally be on shelves. I do tend to lean more towards fiction and romance novels around the summer time as that seems to be when most of them are published. But of course, YA and…

Books I Want to Read in May 2023
Happy Monday and Happy May! Spring is in the air and it makes me so happy to look outside these days. I hope the change of season has been kind to you all and with it comes a new sense of stride and motivation to continue with your passions or to restart and old hobby that brought you so much joy! Reading has been such a priority for me because it has helped my mental health so much. Going into a different world and reading about incredible characters brings me such fulfilment and motivation. The urge to read this month has been strong. It could be because of all the…

Book I Want to Read in February 2023
Happy February! 💕 I don’t know if it’s the fact that I decided not to put any pressure on myself this year when it came to the things I love like reading and blogging OR if it’s the fact that it has been blistering cold that all I want to do is be cozy inside with a book… OR even if it’s the fact that there are just too many good reads out these days, but whatever the reason, I have been reading every single day without fail and I am loving it! While January was looong and fairly bleak, the whole month felt anything but because of the reading…

Books I Want to Read in November 2022
How has November crept up on us? I swear my concept of time is either really bad, or there is some cosmic mercury retrograde type of voodoo that is making me feel like the days are flying by. Although, the other day I did feel like the start of 2021 felt so long ago… maybe it is me? Either way, I am sooo excited for the books I have decided to read this month. Some all brand new released that I have been waiting to get my hands on and some are books that I have put on previous TBRs and never got to them. Here is my November TBR:…

Books I Want to Read in October 2022
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again… I am in my complete element in October. I mean we have the spooky vibes, the weather getting cooler, the leaves officially dawning their oranges, reds, and yellows, and the coziness that comes from a warm drink and a classic Halloween movie – speaking of, did anyone watch Hocus Pocus 2… OMG.. I cannot express how hard it was to contain myself watching that entire movie! I loved it! As you’ve probably read in my other blog posts, October holds an even special place in my heart because my initial idea of my WIP (work in progress) book comes from my…

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…
