October 2025 Recap!
Hi Readers!
October has been one of the best months of the year. Hadn’t planned for it to be so amazing, which makes the surprise even more happy. Reflecting on the month, I realized I did a lot of things which I love and enjoy. A lot of reading, writing and admiring art. Made and ate different kinds of food. Celebrated Diwali with family. Had fun conversations with people. Hated a Taylor Swift album for the first time ever. The main remorse is not working out at all, which must be fixed in the coming months. And another remorse is working too much, cinching closer to suffering, depression and hopelessness. But, let’s keep it happy for an almost happy and perfect month!
~~BOOKS~~
I read FIVE BOOKS across 2042 PAGES in October! It’s the highest I have ever read in one month in 2025!! It’s unbelievable to me too, and yet I’m just so beyond happy about it. I promise I still don’t care about the quantity. But just being in that groove, reading constantly throughout the month, picking the next book right after finishing the previous one, writing the review the same day after finishing a book, all of it is something very CORE ME. So, reading was definitely something that made me immensely happy this month. Below are the five reviews of the five books I read:
~~STATS AND MORE~~
~~LIFE LATELY~~
Slide 1: Need to fix this RIGHT AWAY, because I hate being in a fitness slump. Just sucks!!
Slide 2 & 3: Diwali celebrations with the fam! <3
Slide 4 & 5: Went to Mumbai Art Fair with parents and saw so many pretty, fascinating and just gorgeous paintings and artworks.
Slide 6 & 7: Went for brunch with Suruchi after months!! Had really good, if simple, food at Paash, and then had the most heavenly and undoubtedly the best cheesecake I’ve ever had at Breve.
Slide 8: Had the chance to cook many times as well. The pasta sauce is made from scratch! Thatte Idli was so easy to make, so definitely going to make it more. And, then there’s the Masala Milk made by Aai for Kojagiri Pournima.
Slide 9: 🤷🏻♀️
Slide 10 & 11: Fit checks, baby!! 😎
Really hoping the reading streak continues, and there are more fun events and happiness all around in the last two months of the year!
Until next time,

Hello! I'm Aishwarya, an Introverted bookworm & writer. I have been reviewing books since 6 years on my blog - Mindscape in Words. My favourite genres are Historical Fiction, Mystery, Thrillers, Magical Realism, Poetry, Fantasy & Memoirs. I like the kind of books which evoke emotions on several levels leaving me wrecked, but also incredibly content. I'm dreaming for the world to paint a landscape full of words, more like Mindscape in Words. Hope you enjoy the view.
