Autumn + Thriller Book + Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew is always a good idea. So despite having a hectic month I still managed to reach my reading goal for this month. I read 4 books in this month. Oddly, the books I read were just about okay and I really needed to force myself to…

My June-July-August Reads
*Arghhhhhhhhhh* I have postponed writing this post for so long hoping I get back on my reading track and have a substantial post to write. The past 3 months have been hectic with work taking over my entire life. Whatever free time I do get – I spend binge watching mindless shows – as an…
Fictional Fathers Who Left A Mark
Father’s Day is around the corner and while we go about appreciating our own fathers, I also want to appreciate some fictional fathers and father figures who left a mark on me. I’ve picked some iconic fathers from across books, movies and shows – who impressed me for very different reasons. Here is my list…
May 2021 Reads
I read a mixed bag of books this month. I managed to read four books which has been my monthly target for this year. I hoped to do better in the lockdown but binge watching came in the way (argh). Here’s what I read in May – A Thousand Ships by Natalie Hayes This is…
Review | The Last Queen By Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
This month started off with travel and a lot of work. I’ve only managed to read one book so for – The Last Queen by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. If you haven’t read Chitra’s books – I highly recommend getting your hands on The Forest of Enchantments and The Palace of Illusions. Both the books are…

Enid Blyton – The Forgotten Storyteller
I’m not sure how many millennials would have even heard about Enid Blyton but my journey into reading started when my mother put the “5 O’Clock Tales” in my 6 year old hands. Enid Blyton was the only author my mom trusted her young children with reading and thus between the ages of 6-10 years,…
Must Read Books – Indian Mythology
I have never been big on reading Indian authored novels mainly because I found them very hard to relate with. Even when the Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi garnered a lot of appreciation, I chose to not read his novels. 4-5 months back on a random Sunday I decided to borrow a book from my…
