New Year, Same Bookish Blog
I woke up this morning to a newfound appreciation for being completely chilled. To be fair, in my part of the world, the cold has gotten to bone-crushing levels so it’s hard not cave in and force yourself to be ok with it. But beyond that, I spent the last few days in a slump wondering when that new-year motivation is going to kick in. Then, I got to thinking about how much pressure some of us seem to be under, especially when it comes to the turn of a new year. I have been guilty of posting the annual ‘new year, new me, new goals and accomplishments to work…

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. It was so daunting to hit publish on the site and the first blog post back, but the kindness I received reminded me why I love the reading community so much! 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…

Bookish Brands I Absolutely Love + Two Years of Blogging Giveaway
As an ultimate and avid book lover and reader, being an obsessive fangirl kinda comes along with that package. At first, I would hide my obsessions from people because I really thought they would think I’m crazy for being so invested in a book or character, but after a while, I said screw ’em. I love that I love books and bookish things so fiercely. I love having book inspired candles, attire, house decor, and posters littered across my house. And here are some brands that help make a fangirl’s dreams come true!! Note: I am not sponsored at all by any of these brand… although I would have no…

Goodbye 2020 (Finally!) & New Years Thoughts
I am much later in posting this than I would have liked, but better late than never! Firstly, Happy New Year!!!! Secondly, please tell me I am not alone in that weird space between the last year and this year, where you want to be motivated but somehow you cannot find that motivation. Since the turn of the year, I have been feeling the worst I think I have ever felt. I have been so low energy, unmotivated, and all I want to do is lay on the couch and eat all the greasy food and watch The Office on repeat. The reason this post is so late is because…
